The purpose of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of structured group therapy and family training on the reduction of relapse frequency in out patient addicts who referred to Isfahan Addicts Rehabilitation Center. Fourty two patients with substance dependency diagnosis were randomly selected and assigned to three experimental and control groups. The experimental group (I) received structured group therapy plus family training the experimental group (2) received the structured group therapy, while patients in the control group were in the waiting list. The Relapse Prediction Scale (RPS) and Thin Layer Chromatography (TLC) were administrated to all subjects as the post-test and as a two-month follow-up test. The result of Multivariate Analysis of Variance showed that there was a significant reduction in the mean scores of both treatment groups, as compared with the control group on the RPS post-test (P=0.000), but not on the follow up test. The results also showed that the difference in the reduction of relapse frequency of the two experimental groups, and the control group at post-test, was not significant. However the two experimental groups had a significant reduction of relapse frequency as compared to the control group (P=0.002). There were no significant differences between the experimental groups on the post and follow up tests. In fact, structured group therapy and family training can decrease probability of relapse especially during the 3months of recovery, because these interventions can increase the motivation to change and provides practical strategies for coping and adjusting in interaction problems in the early recovery.
