Drug addiction is a phenomenon which causes considerable physical, mental. social, economic and family problems. The purpose of this article is comparing the effective factors in the recurrence of addiction in two groups : patients who have had a history of drug abuse and patients who have not experienced a recurrence of addiction. The present method is of a semi-experimental type. Our society consisits of patients who underwent detoxification in January 2007, and their state of health is studied until June2008, for a period of six months. By using a sample volume formula, 73 patients were chosen through systematic statistical sampling for each of the above groups. In this research, question forms were used for gathering information. Results show that taking part in personal counseling sessions, avoiding addicted associates, and controlling the strong desire for drugs by the patients can decrease the recurrence of addiction. It seems different methods are required for the treatment of drug addiction and its recurrence in different groups of patients, where sufficient attention should be focused on age, sex, educational status, family conditions, cultural and social background, occupation, physical and mental conditions, as well as place of residence of the patients and also the methods they use to obtain drugs. Such patients should be supported and treated through application of deeper, more comprehensive methods
