From two harm reduction centers in Ahvaz, a simple center was randomly selected. After sampling and estimating the sample size, ۸۰ people were selected and the study groups were divided into three groups (two experimental groups and one control group) in a simple random manner. A general health questionnaire was used to collect data. Data were analyzed by repeated measure analysis of variance with SPSS.۲۲ and a significance level of less than ۰.۰۵ was considered.Results: The results showed that cognitive-behavioral group therapy and brief intervention had no significant effect on physical symptoms and social functioning, but cognitive-behavioral group therapy and brief intervention had a significant effect on anxiety (P<۰.۰۰۱) and depression (P<۰.۰۰۱). Comparison of means shows that brief intervention is more effective than cognitive-behavioral group therapy (P<۰.۰۰۱).Conclusion: It can be concluded that two cognitive-behavioral group therapies and brief interventions were effective in improving the mental health of addicts under the auspices of harm reduction centers in Ahvaz.
