| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| experimental group | Experimental | Before starting the program, the researcher received a Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) Theoretical Basic Training certificate. During the preparation of the Cognitive Behavioral Model-Based Psychoeducation Program, first of all, studies in the literature and books on the subject were examined, using both domestic and international sources. While creating training topics, the Cognitive Behavioral Model, which includes various cognitive and behavioral approaches designed to achieve the goal at each stage of the relapse process, was used. Each psychoeducation session will focus on planned topics such as informing patients about substance addiction, teaching them how to cope with high-risk situations, providing skills that can prevent relapses, providing impulse management, teaching stress coping skills, and increasing hope. Before starting the application, expert opinions will be presented and arrangements will be made in line with the suggestions.

- Model description
- The research was planned as a randomized controlled experimental type study.44 people planned to be included in the research sample will be selected by simple random method. Then, it was planned to include 22 patients in the experimental group and 22 patients in the control group by randomization method. During this process, a list of 44 patients who voluntarily agreed to participate in the research will be created. In this list, patients will be numbered from 1 to 44. Then, with the software at http://www.randomizer.org, 22 out of 44 numbers will be randomly assigned to the experimental group and 22 to the control group. After the assignment, patients corresponding to the numbers in the experimental group will be included in the experimental group and patients corresponding to the numbers in the control group will be included in the control group.
