This study is to see the effectiveness of reality counseling in building self-confidence of former drug users. This is very necessary to restore self-confidence, as well as build a positive self-concept during and after being released from prison. Rejection and labeling from the community makes them not confident and sometimes choose to return as users or dealers. This study uses an experimental approach with pre-experiments with 5 drug inmates with varying lengths of detention and remaining prisoners.

Third; Reality counseling can build self-confidence, by fostering responsibility, truth and the reality of facts, by not condoning his problematic behavior. Fourth; from the counseling assessment they are very satisfied, and forbid drugs. Keywords: Reality Counseling; Self Confidence; Drugs.
