Randomization description
In this study, we will use the restricted randomization method of the block randomization type. Blocking is usually used in order to balance the number of samples allocated to each of the studied groups. In this clinical trial, we will have blocks of equal size (blocks of 4 including 2 people in the conventional treatment group, 2 people in the leisure-based intervention). All the people in the two groups received the conventional interventions of addiction treatment centers, while the second group also received leisure timed interventions. At first, 4 blocks were prepared as (AABB, ABAB, ABBA, BBAA, BABA, BAAB). Then 12 of these blocks are randomly selected and people are assigned to two groups B and A; And this work continues until the completion of the blocks.
Blinding (investigator's opinion)

Description
Intervention group: In addition to the conventional interventions of drug cessation centers, this group also receives leisure time interventions. The aim of leisure time intervention is to provide occupation in order to improve the individual's performance. In this intervention method, a list of leisure occupations is presented and they are asked to select the ones they like. The selected cases will be considered as therapeutic interventions and will proceed according to the schedule. The steps of designing and carrying out leisure time interventions are as follows: 1- Preparation of the list of leisure time occupations: In order to prepare the list of leisure time occupations, a library study will be done to check the available evidence and documentation in the field of types and ways of implementing leisure time occupations. Also, the results of the evaluations (Nottingham Leisure Questionnaire) are used to check people's leisure time interests. After gathering the information, the opinions of experts will be considered during meetings to finalize the leisure activities. In addition to the mentioned cases, the results of the qualitative evaluation of the research participants (results from the interview and the COPM test) will be considered in choosing the final list of leisure occupations. It is attempted that as much as possible the leisure occupations presented in the final list are socially and culturally acceptable, accessible, affordable, feasible and safe. 2- Selection of occupations: After preparing the final list of leisure time occupations, during a group meeting with the presence of all members of the intervention group, 9 occupations agreed upon by the group members will be selected as intervention. Elections will be based on the number of people's votes, and any activity that has the majority vote will be selected as an intervention. Finally, a table to specify the time and place of these interventions is compiled and adjusted with the consensus of all members of the intervention group and is provided to the people. 3- How to carry out the intervention: after choosing the occupations (interventions) and scheduling them, the implementation phase begins. The number of intervention sessions is 12, sessions 1, 2 and 12 will be in person or online and in line with education, and in the other 9 sessions The group does their chosen leisure activity. The interventions will be implemented in a group and within a period of 2 months. According to the nature of the interventions, and if necessary facilities are available, recreation centers (enghelab Cultural and Sports Complex) are the main place to provide these interventions.
