The aim of this research was to assess the effectiveness of positive therapeutic interventions on promoting hope in Substance-Dependent Individuals. The present study was a quasi-experimental research in the form of pretest-posttest with control group. The statistical population of this study included Substance-Dependent Individuals in the city of Varamin. Sixty Substance-Dependent Individuals were selected by a convenient sampling method and were included randomly in experimental and control groups. The experimental group received eleven 60-minute sessions of interventions based on the notes of O'Hanlon and Bertolino (2012) for one month. The data were collected by the Miller Hope Scale (MHS). Results were analyzed using analysis of covariance. The results showed that the scores of hope significantly increased after positive therapeutic intervention in the experimental group compared to the control group. Based on the findings of this study, it can be concluded that positive therapeutic interventions affect the increase of hope in Substance-Dependent Individuals. Therefore, positive therapeutic interventions can be a good method to improve hopefulness in Substance-Dependent Individuals.
