Abstract
This study utilized the qualitative case study method. The participant was chosen using purposive sampling. Data was gathered through direct observation and tape recorded interview. Probe questions were asked to explore the participant’s description of his life experiences as a rehabilitated drug dependent. The verbatim responses obtained were transcribed and clustered according to developmental stages of Erik Erickson. Analysis of the clustered data was done based on various developmental theories. The study concluded that being a rehabilitated drug dependent does not exactly denote authentic success, contentment or even fulfillment, because more often than not, these people with so-called rejuvenated lives are not seen any different from those who are still caught up beneath the enticement of drugs.
