Abstract
Background: The harmful effects of drug relapse have always been one of the major challenges in addiction treatment. The aim of the present research study was the prediction of the intensity of relapse drug abuse in addicted men who underwent treatment based on experiential avoidance, integrative self-knowledge, and basic psychological needs.
Methods: The method of the present study is correlation, and statistical population included all addicted men in Chobindar prison in Qazvin in 2021. From among them 200 individuals were selected randomly. Then, they filled out Whright’s 45-item Prediction of Relapse scale (PRS) (1993), Games et al’s Multi-dimensional Experiential Avoidance (2011), Ghorbaniet et al’s Integrative Self-knowledge questionnaire (2008), and Gardia et al.’s Basic Psychological Needs questionnaire (2001). The analysis of data was carried out by stepwise regression using SPSS software (version 25).
Finding: The result of the study demonstrated that some of the components of experiential avoidance inducing distraction, distress endurance, behavioral avoidance, and distress avoidance could account for 14.0% of the variance of the relapse in the addicts (P < 0.05). Moreover, the obtained results considering reflective self-knowledge component and overall score of integrative self-knowledge could explain 15.0% of the variance of the relapse in the addicts. From among the psychological basic needs, communication could predict 3.8% of the variance of the relapse in the addicts.
