Data were analyzed using triangular fuzzy numbering (triangular fuzzy number) and position (ranking) of each variable is determined using the “defuzzification” process. The findings show that response and expert consensus on factors of drugs relapse in Malaysia are at a good level. The overall findings of the expert consensus agreement exceed 75%, the overall value of the threshold (d) < 0.2 and a α-cut exceeds 0.5.
