Intervention / Treatment
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).

Active Comparator: cognitive behavioral therapy
Standard CBT comprises an array of approaches directed toward modifying dysfunctional thinking and behavior.
The two critical components are analysis of thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, as well as skills training for achieving active behavior and thought modification.
|
In cognitive-behavioral therapy, participants learned that thoughts and emotions contribute to behavior, and responses to thoughts and emotions can be controlled. in mindfulness-based relapse prevention, participants learned to focus on the present moment experience including craving with an attitude of acceptance and non-judging. In twelve-step therapy, participants learned principles of acceptance, gratitude, forgiveness, tolerance, patience, humility, and honesty together with participation in different healthy ways to enrich life. |
