Brief summary
to investigate the impact of cognitive behavior therapy for psychiatric problems among patients with opioid use disorder with relapse condition. In this randomize control trail (RCT), N=120 patients with relapse condition would be taken. After enrolment patients' eligibility assessment would be completed and then n=60 patients would be allocated to experimental (n=30) and waitlist control (n=30) through random assignment. Patient's age range would be between 20 to 30 years.
Detailed description
Background: Opioid use disorder causes severe mental health problems with high mortality and morbidity (Harford, Yi, & Grant, 2013). Cognitive behavior therapy is found an evidence-based treatment modality to address psychiatric problems among individuals with substance use disorders (Cosci et al., 2007). Objectives: to investigate the impact of cognitive behavior therapy for psychiatric problems among patients with opioid use disorder with relapse condition. Hypothesis: After review of literature, cognitive behavior therapy would reduce criminogenic cognition, depressive symptoms, stigma and addiction severity and will improve coping strategies and the quality of life between experimental and waitlist control. Methods: In this randomize control trail (RCT), N=120 patients with relapse condition would be taken. After enrolment patients' eligibility assessment would be completed and then n=60 patients would be allocated to experimental (n=30) and waitlist control (n=30) through random assignment. Patient's age range would be between 20 to 30 years. Measures: Demographic form and in-depth clinical interview would be used conducted to take history of the participants' problems. Moreover, Alcohol, Smoking and Substance Involvement Screening Test (ASSIST; Henry-Edwards et al., 2003; Hussain et al., 2022), Criminogenic Cognition Scale (CCS;Tangney, at el, 2012; Jamil & Fatima, 2018) Perceived Stigma of Addiction Scale (PSAS; Luoma et al, 2010; Shahzad et al., 2021), Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9; Robert et al. 1999; Ahmad et al, 2018), Relapse Risk Scale (RRS; Marlatt & Gordon, 1985; Hussain et al., 2016), Brief Cope Inventory (BCI; Carver, 1997; Shahzad et al., 2020) and World Health Organization Quality-of-Life Scale (WHOQOL; WHO, 2004; Khalid & Kausar, 2006) would be used as secondary measures. Interventions: The treatment protocol would be prepared on the base of CBT with specific goals including short term and long term. 8-12 therapeutic sessions would be given with twice a week interval in one-on-one sitting. Procedure: After approval from the BOS and Advance Studies and Research (ASR), G. C. University Faisalabad, study proposal would be submitted in the Institutional Review Board (IRB), G. C. University Faisalabad for further approval. Furthermore, study protocol would be registered in WHO recognised registry for further approval to conduct RCT. Then data would be collected after getting consent from the institutions as well as from the participants. In RCT, participants eligibility assessment would be completed after enrolment then they will be allocated to experimental and control groups through random assignment. CBT based 8-12 therapeutic sessions would be given with twice a week interval in one-on-one sitting. Statistical analysis: Study-I: Descriptive statistics (i.e., M, SD & f) will be used to calculate demographic characteristics of the sample. Correlation statistics, t-test, and mediation analysis using PROCESS would be used. Study-II: Descriptive statistics (i.e., M & SD), chi-square statistics, power analysis, and repeated measure ANOVA statistics would be used. All statistical computation would be calculated by using SPSS 26.0. sample size would be calculated using G-Power Software.
Interventions
BEHAVIORALpsychoeducation
To identify and recognize the cognitive distortions To explore the automatic thoughts and emotions about illness Evaluate and respond to thoughts, emotions, and beliefs Automatic thought records were used by patients with some help from therapist (Chattopadhyay et al., 2017). The cognitive errors were corrected using individual cognitive strategies (Chattopadhyay et al., 2017).
BEHAVIORALStigma Reduction and Relapse Management
To improve ability to effectively cope with lapse and relapse (Brown & Vanable, 2008). To improve relapse management skills (Brown & Vanable, 2008). Emphasized skill development to cope with OUD-related stressors (Zhang, 2021). To change their conception of OUD (Tshabalala & Visser, 2011). To change their sense of self-worth and to empower them with more adaptive ways of thinking (Tshabalala & Visser, 2011). To deal with their experience of stigma (Tshabalala & Visser, 2011).

Intervention model description
Randomized control trial design would be used in this study. It would be two arm study and there would be two groups an experimental and wait-list control group. Experimental group will receive intervention and another group would be placed in waitlist. In this research, parallel group design would be used. We will give treatment to all participants in a parallel way. Allocation ratio and framework would be equivalence i.e., treatment group and control group would be equal number of participants
