Individuals following drug rehabilitation continue to face psychological challenges in maintaining their recovery, highlighting the need for protective factors that support psychological well-being. This study aimed to examine the relationship between self-awareness and psychological well-being among individuals following drug rehabilitation in Jambi Province. A quantitative approach with a correlational design was employed involving 75 individuals selected through convenience sampling. Data were collected using the Self-Awareness Scale, developed based on Goleman's theory, and the Psychological Well-Being Scale, based on the theories of Ryff and Keyes. Data were analyzed using Spearman's rho correlation because the data did not meet the assumption of normality. The results revealed a strong and significant positive relationship between self-awareness and psychological well-being (rₛ = .713, p < .001). The findings indicate that higher self-awareness is associated with higher psychological well-being among individuals following drug rehabilitation. These findings suggest that developing self-awareness may be an important focus of rehabilitation and post-rehabilitation programs to support psychological well-being and sustained recovery. Future research should involve broader geographical areas and consider other psychological factors associated with psychological well-being.
