Difficult conditions can reduce hope and meaning of life, increase depression and thus deteriorate the quality of life. This research is an attempt to assess the effectiveness of logo therapy in increasing hope to life in addicts with short-term addiction recovery. Therefore, Miller Test was administered as pre-test, post-test and follow-up measure on two groups (experimental group and control group). Both groups were made up of 15 people. Between the pre-test and post-test, the experimental group received 12 sessions of logo therapy. The data were analyzed using ANOVA, MANOVA, Scheffe test and independent t-test. The results showed no significant difference between two groups in the pre-test, but a significant difference between the results of pretest-posttest and pretest-follow up test in two groups. They confirmed the lasting effectiveness of logo therapy and its role in increasing hope to life and social adjustment in addicts who are spending their first months of recovery.
