Counselors and therapists should deal with the factors affecting marital satisfaction and its increase in addition to addiction treatment, because according to the results of the present research, the probability of relapse of addiction increases with the decrease of marital satisfaction. However, having a permanent job is one of the components that indirectly It is effective both on addiction relapse and marital satisfaction. Therefore, in order to reduce the return of addiction, governments and society must first of all provide the occupation of the person and his job security
