Sumario:BACKGROUND: The aim of this research was to determine the effectiveness of resilience training upon ego-control and hardiness of the addicted persons. METHODS: This was a semi-experimental study with pretest and posttest control groups which was conducted in Sari, Iran, during 2014-2015. Thirty persons were selected among 240 illicit drug users who underwent screening. Resilience training was performed in ten sessions for the experimental group. The Kobasa hardiness questionnaire and self-restraint scale (SRS) were used for data collection and multivariate covariance test was performed for data analysis. FINDINGS: According to the data, ego-control and hardiness of participants were improved significantly by resilience training (P < 0.001). CONCLUSION: Resilience training is effective upon the rate of ego-control and self-restraint and hardiness. This method can be used in addiction treatment clinics and residential centers.
