Before starting the program, the researcher received a Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) Theoretical Basic Training certificate. During the preparation of the Cognitive Behavioral Model-Based Psychoeducation Program, first of all, studies in the literature and books on the subject were examined, using both domestic and international sources. While creating training topics, the Cognitive Behavioral Model, which includes various cognitive and behavioral approaches designed to achieve the goal at each stage of the relapse process, was used. Each psychoeducation session will focus on planned topics such as informing patients about substance addiction, teaching them how to cope with high-risk situations, providing skills that can prevent relapses, providing impulse management, teaching stress coping skills, and increasing hope. Before starting the application, expert opinions will be presented and arrangements will be made in line with the suggestions.
Behavioral: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) Theoretical Basic Training Group
The control group will not be given any training or information during this period. They will continue their normal routines and treatments in daily life. After the training process ends, a post-test will be applied to the control group. After the study is completed, psychoeducation will be given to the control group if they request.

implementation of psychoeducation based on the cognitive behavioral model - Social Exclusion Level
Outcome Measure: Social Exclusion Scale Description: The Social Exclusion Scale will be used to assess participants' levels of exclusion from social relationships and withdrawal from social participation.
