he present study explored the effectiveness the Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT) in disputing the
irrational beliefs persons with substance use disorder. It was hypothesized that there is likely a negative
relationship between rational emotive behavior therapy exposures and the irrational beliefs in person with

draw a sample of 12 patients who had undergone treatment for substance use disorder from addiction ward.

order’s irrational beliefs was measured by shortened general attitude and belief scale. The new and personal

nificant result. All the pictures were handmade and mind invention. The present study was able to find out the
