The population was all patients in the rehabilitation unit with a nursing diagnosis: low self esteem and/or inffective coping strategies. There were 23 participants who involved in this investigation. The data was analized by using dependent and independent sample t, and anova tests. Result: The results showed that p value for depressive bahaviours, agressive behaviurs, antisocial behaviors, and cognitive functions were 0.914; 0.001; 0.039; 0.003 respectively. The outcomes indicated that there was signifi cant impact of CBT on agressive behaviors, antisocial behaviors, and cognitive functions (α = 0.05, p value < 0.05), but not on depressive behaviors (α = 0.05, p value > 0.05). Discussion: It is argued that depressive symptoms might not be apparent for the users in rehabilitative phase. The fi ndings also showed that there was signifi cant relation between antisocial behaviors and the length of drug usage. This affi rms exsiting concepts in that long drug usage brings about serious damage in the users' behaviors and cognitive functions. It is recommended, therefore, to include CBT as an important intervention for clients with drug abuse problems who are cared in rehabilitation center.
