Method: This quasi-experimental study was carried out using pretest-posttest design with control group. The research sample consisted of 40 subjects selected from among addicted men in Khorramabad city of Iran and randomly assigned to experimental (health quality of life) and control groups. At the intervention stage, the experimental group was trained in life-style therapy in 8 sessions. Wales metacognitive beliefs questionnaire (2000) was used for data collection in pre-test and post-test phases for both experimental and control groups. Data were analyzed using multivariate analysis of MANCOVA.
