The results showed that cognitive-behavioral therapy significantly reduced the impulsivity of adolescents with addiction

In the past, addiction was known only by drug addictions, Currently, its definition has become much broader. Gambling, compulsive buying, video game addiction, problematic internet use, and even extreme work or sports can be classified as addictions. The existing criteria for experts in diagnosing different types of behavioral addictions are highly controversial, and this has made it difficult to define behavioral addictions. To define behavioral addictions more accurately, it is necessary to define the boundaries of behavioral addictions with other psychological disorders such as impulse control disorders, eating disorders, and obsessive-compulsive disorders. Also, the similarities and differences between behavioral addictions and drug addictions have received much attention. Some experts consider both of these addictions to be of the same group, and some distinguish between them. Also, paying too much attention to behavioral addictions can blur the line between daily behaviors and this type of addiction. Finally, some experts believe that we should pay attention to the personality traits of people involved in these addictions and each type of addiction separately, and uniting all people and all types of behavioral addictions would be a mistake.

The number of meeting held was 10 meeting and was held once a week in the center. In this study, a material temptation questionnaire as well as Transcranial electrical stimulation was performed on the sample group. Multivariate analysis of covariance was (Mancova) used for statistical analysis.  The findings showed that there is a significant difference between the mean of the temptation  of  drug abuse  in adult men with impaired drug abuse disorder (p>0.01);  Therefore, it could be concluded that there was a significant difference by eliminating the effect of pre-test scores between the propensity adjusted average of drug abuse according to group.  According to the results, it seems that Transcranial electrical stimulation of the brain can reduce the symptoms of cravings in people with drug abuse. Therefore, addiction specialists are recommended to use transcranial electrical stimulation as an intervention method in the treatment of these people.

Drug addiction as a social problem has many facets including social, cultural and individual aspects. But none of these factors alone can determine addiction. As such, the present study examined the relationship between temperament and mental disorders in drug addicts and non addicts. To do this, 143 male (n=72) addicts and non-addicts (n=71) in a causal-comparative study were randomly selected and administered the temperament subscales of cloninger's temperament and DASS-21 inventory. Using pearson correlation and fisher's Z-test results showed harm avoidance was significantly correlated with depression, anxiety, and stress only in addicts. Additionally, no significant relationship between each subscale of temperament inventory with mental disorder between the two groups was observed. The results indicated that in the present study temperamental and mental disorders factors did not play a central role in the development of drug dependence and other factors, not assessed in this study, and were the main cause of drug addiction.

To analyses of data، multiple analyses of variance، one-way analysis of variance and Fisher’s Z test، were used. Results of study show that، all subscales of the TCI-56 were significantly correlated with marital satisfaction in methadone maintained drug addicts، whereas in non-addicts harm avoidance، novelty-seeking and persistence were significantly correlated and reward dependence was insignificantly correlated، respectively. Furthermore، results showed a significant difference between rate relationship between marital satisfaction and reward dependence in the two groups were paired. So this relationship in patients was significantly stronger than the average person. The relationship between marital satisfaction and excellence in casting the two groups was significant، this mean that this relationship in normal subjects was significantly stronger than those treated. Thus، the tendency towards substance abuse، psychological factors such as personality، status and relationship with his addict is essential and careful attention to these factors، can be effective in the prevention and treatment interventions.
