Background: Drug abuse is a world-wide health problem and its prevention is surely simpler than treatment so we tried to study about the personal aspects of drug abusers for detection of more effectively preventive cares.
Materials and Methods: In this descriptive-correlative study, 200 drug abusers referred to Semnan addiction recovery center were selected via the convenience sampling method. Minimult questionnaire was used containing 71-question Minnesota multi-aspect personality identification form (M.M.P.I).
Results: Frequency of antisocial personality disorder, schizophrenia, paranoid personality disorder and hypomania were 75.2%, 56.4%, 70.3% and 54.5%, respectively among drug abusers. There was a significant relationship between gender, occupational situation, multi-drug abuse and addiction duration and paranoid, antisocial personality disorders and schizophrenia (P<0.005).
Conclusion: Considering the high prevalence of antisocial personality disorder among drug abusers, psychiatric interventions seem to be necessary in recovery centers added to therapeutic drugs.
Keywords: Personality Disorder, Substance use disorder
