THE STUDY OF FACTORS FOR RECURRED ADDICTION FROM THE VIEW OF SELF-INTRODUCED ADDICTS TO THE ADDICTION ABANDONMENT CENTERS OF ZAHEDAN

Despite the fact that an addict may give up consuming narcotics voluntarily for
a long time, nobody can be assured that he would not restart addiction to narcotics. As shown by
statistics, 80 % of these people restart after less than 6 months. This research was carried out to study
the factors influencing the recurrence of the addiction and find out new ways to prevent it.
Materials & Methods: This a descriptive case series study includes the subjects that were selected by
random sampling from self-introduced addicts (who experienced a recurred addiction) to Zahedan
centers. About 200 addicts filled the researcher-made questionnaire. descriptive statistics and
inferential statistics were used for data analysis.
Results: According to the findings of the study, the factors that influence recurred addiction are as
follows: unhealthy environment contaminated, addicted friends, the inefficiency of psychotherapy
sessions. Moreover, these effects were the same on gender and age group of the self-introduced
addicts (p=0.000).
Conclusion: In order to prevent the recurrence of addiction, it is recommended to provide a specialist
adviser and not allow the patient to socialize with addicts. Treatment programs should be more defined
and strict during the first three months of recovery
