Abstract

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to determine the effectiveness of combined cognitive-behavioral and neurofeedback therapy on the relapse reduction in stimulant substance abusers with depressive symptoms. Method: A semi-experimental study was conducted with a pre-test-post-test design and a two-month follow-up period. All male substance abusers who were referred to the Sepahan substance abuse treatment center in 1st district of Tehran in 1402 formed the statistical population of the study. With the available and purpose-based sampling method, 36 people were selected from among substance abusers who met the criteria for entering the research and randomly divided into 2 groups of 18 people (combined treatment group for stimulant substance abusers, control group for stimulant substance abusers) were replaced. Data collection was done with demographic information checklist-researcher-made form, revised depression questionnaire and substance abuse relapse risk questionnaire. Data analysis was done with statistical methods, testing the assumptions of parametric statistics and analysis of variance with repeated measurements with statistical software Spss-v26. Findings: The results showed that the combined treatment in the subjects of the experimental group of two groups of stimulant drug abusers is effective in reducing the relapse rate and its dimensions (intention to use, emotional problems, compulsion to use, lack of control and positive expectation of drug use). (P<0.05).  Conclusion: This study further clarified the role of psycho-behavioral structures in substance abuse patients and reveals the necessity of using combined treatment approaches (cognitive
