The experiment was done on two groups with the same number of volunteers from one of the Drug Rehab centers. There were two groups: experiment group and control group, each group composed of forty-three people with a total of eighty-six volunteers. The experiment group received Reality Therapy treatments for two hours weekly for eight weeks; the control group received counseling courses from Drug Rehab center. Each group was evaluated by “Tennessee Self Concept Scale: Second Edition (TSCS: 2).”, “Drug Abuse Self-control Rating Scale”, and “Drug Abuser’s Self-efficacy Scale”. The evaluation was done before the experiment started, after the experiment finished, and one month after the experiment. The analysis of covariance was used to analysis the data.
