Objective: The present study aimed to investigate the mediating role of self-control and self-compassion in the relationship between mindfulness and the tendency for substance use relapse in substance-dependent individuals undergoing methadone maintenance treatment. Method: The current research was a descriptive-correlational study. The statistical population included substance-dependent individuals undergoing methadone treatment who referred to addiction treatment centers in Shahroud city. From this population, 312 individuals were selected using purposive sampling based on inclusion and exclusion criteria. In this study, participants completed the substance elapse Tendency Scale, the five-facet mindfulness questionnaire, the self-control scale, and the self-compassion questionnaire. Structural equation modeling was used to analyze the research model. Results: Mindfulness had a significant direct negative relationship with the tendency for substance use relapse, and self-control and self-compassion significantly mediated this relationship. Overall, the results showed that the model had an excellent fit. Conclusion: The findings of this study highlight the therapeutic potential of mindfulness and self-compassion interventions in preventing substance use relapse. By promoting self-control and self-compassion and reducing the tendency to relapse, mindfulness acts as a protective factor in managing the challenges associated with substance use disorders. Incorporating mindfulness-focused interventions into addiction rehabilitation programs can increase self-control and self-compassion and reduce the tendency for relapse and substance craving.
