Descriptive statistics and paired sample t-test were used for all data analysis.
Results: After the therapy and after one month of follow up, the study showed statistically significant that amphetamine addiction patients had lower scores of amphetamine addiction (mean difference=13.67;95% CI =-15.18 - -12.15; p-value<0.05). In terms of family relationship, it was found that amphetamine drug addicted patients and their families had significantly higher mean family relationship scores (mean difference=2.59 ; 95% CI =2.41 – 2.77 ; p-value<0.05).
