Abstract
Introduction: The main purpose of this research is to examine the possible relationship between codependency and mental health among wives of opioid drug abusers under TC intervention.
Method: Participants (n=30 addicts’ wives under TC) were selected using available sampling method. All participants were filled GHQ-28 and dependency questionnaires.
Results: A Significant positive correlation was found between codependency and mental health. Anxiety alone (R2=0/31) and anxiety and social performance together (R2=0/46) were predicted variations of codependency by wives of drug abusers.
Conclusion: Codependency is associated with increased symptoms of abnormality for wives of drug abusers. Anxiety and social performance disorder are the important predictors for codependency.
