| Abstract | ||
| Aim: The present study was conducted to determine the effect of cognitive rehabilitation on improving executive functions, cognitive emotion of regulation, and reducing drug craving among male prisoners undergoing methadone maintenance therapy. Method: The present study was conducted using a quasi-experimental pretest-posttest design with an unequal control group. The statistical population included prisoners undergoing methadone therapy at Qazalhessar Prison in 2023. The sample consisted of 80 individuals who were enrolled in a 2-month clinical trial with a 2-month follow-up period. The experimental group received a cognitive rehabilitation program in 16 group sessions of 90 minutes. In order to collect data, the addiction severity index, the Wisconsin card classification test, the Somoza substance craving short scale, and the Garnefsky cognitive emotion regulation test were used. Findings: The results using repeated analysis of covariance test with follow-up2 months showed that cognitive rehabilitation treatment was effective in improving executive function, cognitive regulation of emotions and reducing cravings in prisoners treated with methadone and there was a significant difference between the two experimental and control groups However, in the 2-month follow-up, the urine test results for amphetamines and methamphetamines were positive for 1 individual in the treatment group and 15 individuals in the control group. Conclusion According to the present findings, cognitive rehabilitation can be used in addiction treatment (improving executive functions and cognitive regulation of emotions and reducing cravings) of prisoners treated with methadone. | ||
