Background: Substance-related disorders are recognized as a significant health concern in all societies, with individuals facing public health challenges. This study was aimed to assess the impact of an emotion regulation-focused educational program on the overall health status of individuals undergoing methadone maintenance treatment (MMT) for addiction.
Methods: This single-blind randomized clinical trial study was conducted in 2022 on 48 patients with opioid abuse undergoing MMT at the Center for Addiction Harm Reduction in Isfahan City, Iran. The participants were randomly assigned to either the intervention group (n = 24) or the control group (n = 24). The intervention involved six training sessions focused on emotion regulation over a three-week period for the intervention group. Data analysis was performed using paired t-test, independent samples t-test, and chi-square test with SPSS statistical software. In this study, the P-value was considered significant at the level of less than 0.05.
Findings: The results of the paired samples t-test showed that in the intervention group, the average scores of the general health level decreased significantly after the intervention (P < 0.001), while the changes in the control group were not significant. The results of the independent samples t-test showed that the average scores of the general health level in the intervention and control groups were not significantly different before the intervention, but were significant after the intervention (P < 0.001).
Conclusion: According to the results of the present study, the educational program based on emotion regulation plays a crucial role in enhancing the overall health of patients receiving MMT. Therefore, it is advisable to implement this educational program for patients undergoing MMT.
