The present study was conducted to compare personality traits and executive functions (inhibition and decision) in successful and unsuccessful drug users in quitting addiction.

This study was a causal-comparative design. Participants were successful and unsuccessful men and women in quitting drug addiction (narcotics and industry) referring to addiction treatment centers in the eastern region of Tehran. Among them, 110 people were selected by convenience sampling method (55 successful in quitting addiction and 55 unsuccessful in quitting). To collect the data, the five personality traits questionnaire - long form, go/do not go test and Bart balloon risk test were used. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, parameters of parametric tests and multivariate analysis of variance.

The results showed that there was no significant difference between successful and unsuccessful individuals to quit addiction in decision (p >0.05). Also, the results showed that there is a significant difference between the two groups of successful and unsuccessful individuals in quitting drugs in terms of cognitive inhibition and personality traits including conscientiousness, acceptability, openness to experience, neuroticism and extraversion (p<0.05). As such, successful people in quitting addiction had better performance and efficiency than unsuccessful people in personality traits and cognitive inhibition, but there was no difference between the decision power in the face of the temptation of consumption between the two groups.

Executive functions and personality traits play a role in ability of individuals to quit and resist the temptation to consume. Therefore, it is suggested that service providers centers in the field of drugs prevention, treatment and rehabilitation of people in the face of drugs, in addition to the usual proceedings, also pay attention to the personality traits and executive functions of individuals.

The purpose of the present study was to compare addiction memory intensity and self-control in successful and unsuccessful addiction withdrawal.

In this causal-comparative study, the population of the study consisted of male addicts who referred to Rasht addiction treatment clinics (District one) in 2018. Among them, 45 individuals with successful addiction withdrawal (more than 2 years) and 45 individuals with unsuccessful addiction withdrawal were selected using convenience sampling method. For data collection, Addiction Memory Intensity Scale (Chen et al., 2018) and Self-Control Scale-short version (Tangny et al., 2004) were used. Finally, the data were analyzed using multi-variate variance analysis.

According to the results, levels of addiction memory intensity and self-control were different in successful and unsuccessful individuals in addiction quit (p <0/01). In other words, successful individuals in addiction withdrawal received lower scores in addiction memory intensity and higher scores in self-control in comparison to unsuccessful individuals in addiction withdrawal (p <0/01).

Considering the results, addiction memory intensity and self-control are important factors that can be influential in successful addiction withdrawal. Hence, it is possible to increase success in addiction withdrawal by designing interventions that reduce addiction memory intensity and increase self-control.
