They were divided into two equal groups, an experimental group consisting of (5) drug addicts, and a control group consisting of (5) drug addicts. The criteria for evaluating the factors of addict’s relapse were applied to them, in addition to the treatment program. Moreover, the study found the effectiveness of the program in reducing the risk of relapse for the recovering addicts, the research sample. It showed the presence of statistically significant differences between the ranks of the degrees of the two measurements, pre and post tests, for the experimental group, and also showed that there were no statistically significant differences between the ranks of the degrees of the two measurements.
