The research sample consisted of 40 males in the age range 20 to 45 years with substance abuse disorder who were selected through criterion-based sampling method and were randomly assigned in two groups, i.e. experimental group (n=20) and control group (n=20). Then, the BEHAVIORAL COUNSELING program for reducing HIGH-RISK BEHAVIORS was administered to the experimental group for 12 sessions. The control group did not receive any intervention during this period. For data collection purposes, CRAVING BELIEFS Questionnaire and QUALITY OF LIFE Questionnaire were used.Results: The results showed that BEHAVIORAL COUNSELING on the decrease of HIGH-RISK BEHAVIORS has had a significant effect on the promotion of life quality and the improvement of CRAVING BELIEFS in experimental group. Moreover, the effectiveness of this method in the one-and-a-half follow-up held a relative stability.Conclusion: BEHAVIORAL COUNSELING on the reduction of HIGH-RISK BEHAVIORS is an effective method in the control and treatment of drug dependent people and can be used as a psychological intervention program in ADDICTION treatment centers.
