Objective: The present study aimed to investigate the efficacy of self-healing training, as a novel intervention, in frustration intolerance among individuals with substance use disorder (SUD) undergoing methadone maintenance treatment (MMT) in Shahroud. Method: This quasi-experimental study utilized a pretest-posttest design with a control group. The statistical population comprised all men with SUD receiving MMT in Shahroud. From this population, a sample of 30 participants was selected via random sampling based on inclusion criteria and randomly assigned to either the experimental group (n=15) or the control group (n=15). The experimental group received group-based self-healing training over twelve 90-minute sessions (twice weekly). Participants in both groups completed the frustration discomfort scale at pretest and posttest. Data were analyzed using univariate analysis of covariance. Results: The findings revealed that following the self-healing training intervention, the experimental group exhibited a significant reduction in frustration intolerance scores compared to the control group. Conclusion: It appears that self-healing training can serve as an effective novel therapeutic intervention for enhancing positive functional components in individuals with substance use disorders.
