This paper examines the effect of Tibetan five rite yoga and reality therapy on substance use disorder patient Nawfia Psychiatric Hospital. Two variables were manipulated and measured in this research. The independent variable manipulated in the studies incorporates three levels. A five rite Tibetan yoga based alternative treatment, a reality therapy and/or a no treatment (control condition). The dependent variables of quality of life were measured and defined as the amount of improvement in substances abuse patients. Participants suffering from Substance Use Disorders (SUDs) such as cannabis, methyl crystalline, cocaine and alcohol addictions were monitored for their progress during and after interventions. Data showed that 26 (86.7%) are males and 4 (13.3%) are female. With mean age of 30 and SD of 8.7. Result shows that there was a significant difference between the treatment group (Tibetan yoga, and realty therapy) and control group on quality of life at (F=3, 26)=26.65, with mean difference, within groups: M=72.90, SD=4.04 (yoga), M=54.00, SD=15.38 (Reality). M=48.30, SD=11.78 (Control). This implies that those who received the treatment experienced improve and significant quality of life than those in the control. The results demonstrated that five rite Tibetan yoga and reality therapy is an effective holistic approach to substance abuse treatments. Based on the effect size of 77.63, it shows that the difference between the pretest and the posttest was both positive and significant hence, would be attributed to the treatment intervention (reality therapy and Tibetan yoga therapy). The studies reviewed in this dissertation imply that additional replication studies must be conducted to assess the validity of the results and to further investigate various populations (gender, age, race, culture, and SUD type) and recommendation was made to help the psychiatric hospital and rehabilitation homes make use of this adjunct treatment in their addiction management.
