Aim: Although in the last few decades, numerous research and therapeutic center have been built in various countries at great expense, and therapists are treating addicts, but little success has been achieved. Our goals in the way we chose are to achieve effective treatment for addicts with least cost and the greatest success. Methods: An analytical interventional study is based on clinical trials that individuals are randomly assigned to under certain therapeutic interventions which applied in Iranian traditional medicine such as: cupping, massages, herbal drugs and special nutritional orders.

Conclusion: In case of Iranian traditional medicine, the addicted person due to continuous use of an opiates substance and sever physical-psychological abuse, and increasing desire to add the amount and quality of the substance consumed, lead to dominance of soda temperament (dry and coldness) in the body and soul. On the other hand, with the weakening of immune system and intelligent response of body, in this state, however, he is compelled to use drugs. In fact, the addicted person fluctuates between warmth and happiness (perkiness) and coldness and severs pain (hangover).
