A total of 41 Filipino male respondents in Dapartment of Health -Treatment and Rehabilitation Center (DOH-TRC) were selected to be participants. The Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (RSES) and Coping Strategies Scale (CSS) were utilized to measure both constructs, 70.73% scored low in terms of coping and 51.22% were low scores in the self-esteem scale. Results from Pearson product-moment correlation supported a positive (r= .383) and significant (.014 < .05) relationship between the variables. It was concluded from the data presented that when a drug dependent has lower self-esteem, they find it more difficult to cope from high-risk situations that could lead to relapse. It is recommended to further probe into the research in a different light or approach the limitations to fully understand the influence of self-esteem towards the ability of the drug dependents to cope away from possible relapse episodes ER -
