Objective: The present study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of self-healing training (the healing codes) on the sense of cohesion in substance-dependent men in 2020. Method: The present research was quasi-experimental with pretest-posttest design with a control group. The statistical population included all substance-dependent males in Isfahan in 2020. Among whom, 30 people who were willing to participate in the study were selected using convenience sampling and then were randomly divided into the experimental (n = 15) and control (n = 15) groups. The sense of cohesion questionnaire was used to collect data. The experimental group underwent fourteen sessions of self-healing training (90-minute sessions per week). After the training sessions, a post-test was performed for both groups. Data analysis was done using an univariate analysis of covariance. Results: The results showed that self-healing training was significantly effective in increasing the sense of cohesion in substance-dependent males. Conclusion: According to the research results, self-healing education can be used as one of the new positive approaches to increase the psychological health of substance-dependent individuals in addiction treatment centers with relatively lasting effects to increase self-care skills.
