Abstract Different approaches came to existence with the prevalence of addiction and each of them has a specific level contribution in the treatment of addiction. Sometimes, some approaches are more successful than others in particular situation. There are different approaches in the treatment of addiction and in private centers, groups of people preventing from addiction, groups of anonymous addicts (NA), center of decreasing addiction (DIC) and prisons in Amol. From among the common approaches, we attempt to shed light on these 5 therapeutic methods in the province of Amol. The present research purpose was to investigate the different approaches of treatment in private centers, abstention-oriented groups, groups of anonymous addicts (NA), center of decreasing addiction (DIC) and prisons in Amol. We also attempted to assess the numbers of quits by the majority of addicts using different approaches and investigate that whether or not the type of drug was effective in the type of quitting. Put it differently, which approach had higher success in the treatment. A number of 100 individuals were selected through random cluster sampling, out of which, a number of 20 individuals was selected and assessed by descriptive methods and investigation of the mean of quitting. Results indicated that there is significant relationship between repeated quitting and treatment of addiction. Moreover, there is significant relationship between the type of drug and the effectiveness of the therapeutic method. Mean of the number of quitting was equal to 100%. 56% had 1 to 4 times of quitting. The longest time of quitting was 30% between 1 month and 3 months and 27% between 3 months and one day to 6 months. 71% had several times of quitting, 50% referred to the private center, 38% referred to the camps and 24% refereed to NA groups. It can be concluded that different approaches of treatment had their contribution in quitting but combination of quitting and repeated quitting has beset the motivation of treatment with problem. On the other hands, sometimes, the patients have exclusively referred to the camp for treatment which is indicative of overlooking other aspects of treatment. Overall, investigating different aspects of addiction treatment from physical and mental aspects and cooperation with of the therapeutic groups with one another has given rise to the effectiveness of addiction treatment and longer quitting can be expected for the patient.
