| Abstract | ||
| The current study aims to recognize the cognitive processes of ex-addicts and their families with the method of grounded theory. The participants were chosen based on a purposeful sampling method, and sampling continued until the saturation point of data was reached. Hence, 18 ex-addicts and 20 family members took part in this research. Data were collected through observation, semi-structured interviews and reviewing documents, and the Corbin and Strauss coding system was used to analyze the data. The participants believed that addiction is treatable, that each person is responsible for their own behavior, and that they cannot change other people. They also believed the substance user to be responsible for his or her own addiction and treatment, they were focused on the present, and they believed the negative behaviors and previous relapses of the ex-addict to be rooted in his or her dependence to substances. Moreover, this group thought that if a substance user is treated with the Congress 60 method, an 11-month period of medication treatment, he or she will not be tempted to use again. They also claimed that after the treatment period, interacting with friends who are using substances would not pose problems. | ||
