AbstractBackground: Addiction is a physiological and psychological and social disorder that consider as a huge-health problem in many societies. Objectives: The present study aimed to investigate the role of self-efficacy beliefs and social support on prediction of addiction relapse. Patients and Methods: The research method was a causal-comparison. The population of the study included all subjects who sought medical advice in the centers for addiction treatment in Saravan and Iranshahr, south-east of Iran. The study population included 166 participants (83 participants without relapse and 83 participants with relapse) selected using snowball sampling during a four-month period of voluntary participation in the centers. The variables were measured by general self-efficacy scale and Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support. The data were analyzed by MANOVA. Results: Findings revealed significant differences between participants without relapse and participants with relapse in terms of “self-efficacy beliefs” and “social support”. The two variables of self-efficacy beliefs and social support were the best predictors of addiction relapse. Conclusions: Based on the findings of the study, it can be concluded that self-efficacy beliefs and social support play effective roles in preventing patients from addiction relapse.en
