The study was confined to the following variables for testing a Psychological Variables i.e. Attitude. Further the program will also significantly improve personality profile, attitude, and self- confidence of drug addicts selected as psychological variables to experiment upon. The alternative rehabilitation program will be significantly better effective than existing rehabilitation program of Elmhirst Institute of Community Studies in every aspect. This statistical finding clearly implies that significant changes in attitude resulted as an effect of respective rehabilitation programs. The magnitude of mean difference being higher in experimental group can be concluded that changes or transforming of attitude towards positive in experimental group was better than the control group. The findings proved that the alternative exercise rehabilitation programme was better effective than the regular rehabilitation program of the centre and produced positive changes in the attitudes for experimental group.
