The aim of this study is to examine which individual and surrounding factors that are of importance for maintaining drug-freedom after treatment. The study is based on scientific papers found through a scoping review. The result of the study is thematized and analysed with the labelling theory, sense of coherence and the transtheoretical model stages of change. The results show that the individual factors involve occupation (employment, education and activities), health, thoughts and behaviour, network and aftertreatment, and emphasises the inner process and resources one by themselves can develop. The surrounding factors include occupation (employment, education and activities), network, aftertreatment and demographic factors. Here with the perspective on the support that comes from other groups, organisations and people. In the discussion there is a reasoning on the need for a view on relapse as something natural, and sometimes, part of the process. The path to a stable abstinence is not always a straight line or desirable goal, therefore the support should exist in every phase. Another central conclusion is that the Alcoholics Anonymous and Narcotics Anonymous gives a big support but is not used by everyone for different reasons. There should be similar support from public services. Future research could search factors for maintaining drug-freedom outside of the AA and NA community. The factors for stable abstinence could also differ depending on the type of abuse, which can be the subject for a possible future study.
