Detailed Description
In this prospective study, the population included opioid-dependent men (aged 18-50 years), some of them were admitted to El Maamora hospital and others were attendees in NA. To conduct this research, considering the drop-out rate, the list of 60 persons applying for treatment was prepared based on inclusion and exclusion criteria. Then, three groups of 20 were randomly selected and placed in three intervention groups, group one received CBT, group two received MBRP, and group three received twelve-step therapy. The subjects were assigned randomly to the treatment condition via a computer-generated random number with the aid of trained staff at the clinic blindly. All participants completed the measurement scales immediately after detoxification (pre-test) and after the end of therapeutic sessions (post-test).
