It was aimed to determine the effective factors of addiction relapse in Khuzestan province. It was a cross-sectional descriptive and analytic study which has performed on 4,400 addicts from March, 2014 to March, 2015. All subjects have divided in two groups: with history of addiction relapse (Group I) and without history of addiction relapse (Group II). The structure questionnaire was completed in a self-filled manner after obtaining the consent form. Data has analyzed by SPSS v20. Mean and standard deviation were calculated for continuous variables and the frequency and percentage frequency were calculated for nominal and classified variables, and also t-test, chi-square and ANOWA were used to examine the relationships between the variables. The level of significance was set at 0.05. In the first group (addiction relapse), 2844 people (97.6%) of 4,400 participants in this study were male and 70 people (2.4%) were women and in the second group (going for addiction treatment for the first time), 1383 people (97.3%) were men and 39 people (2.7%) were women. The average age in the first group was significantly higher than it in the second group. In terms of marital status, in both groups, the most frequency, that was higher in the addiction relapse group, was for married people. In both groups, the majority of subject were workers and the frequency of unemployment in the addiction relapse group was higher. In the addiction relapse group, the average age of onset of drug consumption was lower. The highest relative frequency of consumables, in both groups, was opium and the consuming of synthetic drugs in addiction relapse group was higher. In both groups, smoking was the dominant mode of drug consumption and also in the addiction relapse group, the number of injections was reported more than it in the other group. Enjoyment and family problems were reported as the primary and secondary motivation of drug consumption respectively. In the first group, the frequency of family problems was higher. In terms of occupation (P=0.002), marital status (P<0.001), average age (P<0.001), and the average age of onset of drug consumption variable (P=0.03), no significant difference was observed between two groups. The results proved that individual, social, economic and psychological factors effect addiction relapse. Recognition of factors associated with addiction relapse can be very helpful to make appropriate decisions in planning and implementation of preventive and treatment programs.
