Objectives The aim was to investigate emotional clarity in opioid-dependent patients. Background: emotional clarity refers to individual's awareness of his/her feelings. Individuals with low levels of emotional clarity may resort to strategies to alleviate distress rapidly. Patients and methods A total of 40 adult male opioid-dependent patients were recruited in the present study. The research data were collected from demographic information, Structured Clinical Interview for Axis I Disorders, and Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale. Statistical analysis was performed using one-sample t test and P value. Results Findings demonstrated that opioid-dependent patients lacked emotional clarity. Conclusion Given the emphasis on emotional regulation as the main mechanism of change, lack of emotional clarity was associated with substance use disorders.
