Abstract

The purpose of the present study was to compare the cognitive emotion regulation strategies among normal persons and persons in methadone or Narcotics Anonymous (NA) treatment programs. This causal–comparable study enrolled all addicted persons from Kangavar, Iran. The study population comprised 80 participants in methadone and NA treatment programs who were divided into two groups of 40 persons per group. Participants were selected by the simple random sampling method. An additional 40 persons were chosen as the normal group. All participants (n=120) answered the Cognition Emotion Regulation Questionnaire (CERQ). The acquired data of the present study showed a significant difference in emotion regulation strategies among the three groups. Further, findings indicated that persons under methadone treatment use emotion regulation strategies more than normal persons and those under NA treatment. Emotions are one of the most important factors that lead persons toward addiction. Therefore, individuals who can use emotion regulation strategies show little tendency toward addiction.
