Abstract EN

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effectiveness of a group therapy program to reduce depression among tramadol addicts in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.

The study population consisted of a sample of tramadol addicts who visited a private clinic in Jeddah.

The total number of the sample was 24 addicts who voluntarily agreed to participate in the study.

The ages of the participants ranged between (22-30) years.

The sample was divided into two groups : 12 addicts who made up the control group, and 12 addicts who made up the experimental group.

Where the treatment program was applied to the experimental group only.

The results showed that there were statistically significant differences due to the group's effect on the Beck scale in favor of the experimental group, which confirms the effectiveness of the therapy program used in reducing depression.
