The research design used for the study was quasi-experimental research design.Total of 60 alcohol dependent adults, who met inclusion sampling criteria, were selected and randomly allocated 30 to experimental group and 30 to control group with the help of computer-generated random sequence numbers. Level of self – esteem and maintaining abstinence from alcohol among the alcohol dependent adults was assessed by using Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale and URICA Scale respectively. The participants of experimental group administered motivational package in 6 sessions, each day one session.

The study concludes that Motiv
