The objective of this study is to explore the psychological poor adjustment (adaptability/compatibility) experienced by those recovered from dependence on psychotropic substances, even after they ceased abusing substances and started recovery and rehabilitation phases. Furthermore, it aims at identifying reasons for such poor adjustment at the phase of recovery, and whether it precedes addiction or it is one of its outcomes or effects. Furthermore, it tries to monitor progress in achieving psychological adjustment during the various stages of rehabilitation and therapy, and whether they can reach and maintain full compatibility as non-abusers or that would require life-time rehabilitation and medication This chapter covers the theoretical aspects of the study through the introduction and definition of the study’s key concepts, starting with the concept of psychological adjustment (adaptability), along with its levels and related notions. In addition, it reviews the various disciplines that have addressed the concept of dependence on psychotropic substances, casts light over recovery and rehabilitation phases, and comments on the importance of different therapeutic interventions to rise the recovery phase to the desired level and not to be satisfied with only one single exclusive means of treatment. In other words, the study argues that the integration of pharmaceutical, dynamic and cognitive behavioral therapy as a system may lead to reaching the desired recovery. Finally, this chapter clarifies the relationship between psychological adjustment and dependence.
