Codependency and Mental Health in Wives of Opioid Drug Abusers

The main purpose of this research is to examine the possible relationship between codependency and mental health among wives of opioid drug abusers under TC intervention. Participants (n=30 addicts’ wives under TC) were selected using available sampling method. All participants were filled GHQ-28 and dependency questionnaires. A Significant positive correlation was found between codependency and mental health. Anxiety alone (R2=0/31) and anxiety and social performance together (R2=0/46) were predicted variations of codependency by wives of drug abusers. Codependency is associated with increased symptoms of abnormality for wives of drug abusers. Anxiety and social performance disorder are the important predictors for codependency.
