Background & Aims:
Addiction is one of the biggest social problems which have adverse consequences for the families and drug-abusers. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of Buprenorphine therapy on the inhibit impulses of drug-abusers.
Materials & Methods:
The research design of this study was quasi-experimental with pr-test and post-test of the single group. Statistical population of this study was included all of the drug-abusers that referred addiction clinic in Sari in the second half of 2016. 34 drug-abusers were selected with convenient sampling method and evaluated before and 50 days after treatment with MMT. Barrat Impulsivity Scale (BIS) and Go-No-Go Test were used as research tools for evaluating of inhibiting impulses of participants.
Results:
The results of t-test showed a significant decrease in total impulsivity and cognitive impulsivity scores in Barrat scale and impulsivity indexes of Go-No-Go test in drug-abusers after treatment with Buprenorphine.
Conclusion:
In accordance with the findings of this study, Buprenorphine therapy is an effective strategy to reduce of impulsivity levels of drug-abusers. In cases where reducing of an impulsive behavior of drug-abusers is targeted, Buprenorphine therapy can be used.
