Abstract

Background: Drug abuse is a world-wide health problem and its prevention is surely simpler than treatment; so we tried to study about the personal aspects of drug abusers for detection of more effectively preventive cares.Materials and Methods: In this descriptive-correlative study, 200 drug abusers referred to Semnan addiction recovery center were selected via the convenience sampling method. Minimult questionnaire was used containing 71-question Minnesota multi-aspect personality identification form (M.M.P.I).Results: Frequency of antisocial PERSONALITY DISORDER, schizophrenia, paranoid PERSONALITY DISORDER and hypomania were 75.2%, 56.4%, 70.3% and 54.5%, respectively among drug abusers. There was a significant relationship between gender, occupational situation, multi-drug abuse and addiction duration and paranoid, antisocial PERSONALITY DISORDERs and schizophrenia (P<0.005).Conclusion: Considering the high prevalence of antisocial PERSONALITY DISORDER among drug abusers, psychiatric interventions seem to be necessary in recovery centers added to therapeutic drugs.
