| Abstract | Drug addiction is categorized to be the key threats to health, economic, and social problem. So, herbal medicinal therapy for drug relapse might be considered as another potential option. Materials and Method: This Quasi-experimental Study was aimed to investigate risk factors of drug relapse, and the effect of herbal medicinal therapy in combination with the Matrix program. Seventy subjects with history of drug use were recruited and randomized into two groups (control and experimental groups; 35 each) during October 2017 - June 2018. Screening tests before and after herbal medicine therapy by V.2 and urine test were conducted. Data were analyzed by descriptive statistics, OR, 95% CI, T-Test and McNemar Test. Results: Most subjects (93.9%) were addicted to methamphetamine,63.6% of them had been rehabilitated, and imprisoned at 69.7%. Results of drug screening showed 54.3% of drug relapse. Among those, temporally drug users, drug users and drug addictions were counted for 15.7%, 77.1%, and 7.1%, respectively. Risk factors for repeated rehabilitation were family relationship, frequency of addiction, and social factor (p <0.05). The risk factors in drug relapse were smoking method, frequency of addiction, and peer group (p <0.05). Results of herbal medicinal therapy with the Matrix Program showed that the experimental group could reduce and quit drug addiction more than the control group (p <0.0001). Conclusion: Herbal detoxification could help reduce and quit drug addiction. |
