Abstract: (149533 Views)
Background: Addiction propagation in our society led to the establishment of addiction cessation clinics in 28 provinces in 1999. Recognition of factors related to addiction cessation is important and can help to improve the function of these clinics as well. This study was performed to determine effectual factors related to embarking on addiction cessation.
Materials and Methods: This descriptive study was performed on all the subjects who voluntarily referred to the Bojnord Behzisti addiction cessation clinics. Related factors were divided into four categories including familial, economic, social, and individual factors. The internal validity of the questionnaire was evaluated and ascertained.
Results: 32 addicted clients were eligibly studied. 59% of them were male aged 37±9.3 years, and 37.5% of them had a history of addiction in at least one of their family members. Mean age at which the addiction had started was 20±7.7 years and the mean of the duration of addiction was 17±9.9 years. The most important factors for quitting stated by clients were fear of disgrace, loss of job, and tendency towards crimes. The duration of addiction or embarking on addiction quitting were significantly longer in families with other addicted members.
Conclusion: Social backgrounds are the most important factors related to addiction cessation. We suggest experimental studies in order to recognize the benefits that can be achieved by reinforcing these backgrounds.
