The present study aimed to examine the mediating role of self-control in the relationship between social support and craving in recovering addicts. The method of the present study was descriptive-correlational, using structural equation modeling. The statistical population of the current study consisted of drug addicts who are quitting in Rasht in 2023 that 370 people were selected using a voluntary and available sampling method and responded to the drug craving questionnaire (DCQ, Somoza et al., 1995), self-control scale (SCS, Tangney et al., 2004), and social support scale (SSS, Zimet et al., 1988). The findings showed that the research model has a good fit. Also, social support had a direct, positive and significant effect on self-control and a direct, negative and significant effect on drug craving (p<0.01). Self-control also had a mediating role in the relationship between social support and drug craving (p<0.01). The findings of the research indicate the mediating role of self-control in the relationship between social support and drug addiction and reveal the importance of social support in the direct and indirect prediction of craving.
