This period has great impact on adult life and the society's future. Given the increase of conflicts between parents and children as well as the role of parents, especially mothers in family structure and formation of children's personality in this period, the current study aimed to evaluate mothers' knowledge, attitude, and practice about psychological changes during puberty and to determine the relationships between girls and their mothers. Method:In this descriptive study, 262 female high school students of the first period were selected by multi-stage sampling from six high schools in Zanjan, Iran. Data on knowledge, attitude, and practice were collected through a researcher-made questionnaire containing28 knowledge questions, 20 attitude items, and 20 practice questions. The data on the relationship between mothers and daughters were collected by PCRS standard questionnaire which consisted of 24 questions to assess child-parent relationship. Data were then analyzed through SPSS-28 software and by application of ANOVA, regression, and correlation tests. The significance level was set at α = 0.05. Results:The mean age of maternal age38.27±5.36 years and the average age of studentswas23.29 ±0.72years. The mean score of mothers' knowledge about nonphysical changes of puberty was 9.58± 3.48 out of 28, the mean score of attitude was 64.82± 8.84 out of 200,and the mean score of their practice was 57.4 ± 5.82 out of 80 ; all scores were in the moderate range. Average score of mother-child relationship during puberty was 20.44 out of 28 which showed a moderate relationship. Mother-child relationship was correlated with mothers' attitude and practice. Conclusion:Knowledge of most mothers about maturity was at middle and low levels, most of them had positive attitude, moderate practice, and maintained a moderate relationship with their teenage children. Mother-Child relationship was correlated with mothers ' attitude and practice. Therefore, it is recommended for mothers to raise their awareness about the puberty changes, create a positive attitude towards them, and take proper actions in this regard. In turn, doing these can be effective in making appropriate relationships between adolescents and mothers.

But the main challenge is retention rate in MMT Methods: Through simple random sampling, 155 addicts aged between 18-60 years who referred to drug addiction center of university and underwent MMT were followed for at least one year and up to two and half years. Results: Of the total, 3.9% female, 62% married, 37.4% workers and 27.1% were jobless. 80% had education level of less than diploma, 43.2% abused marijuana, 54.2% abused alcohol and 49.7% were living in rented houses. 60% referred to this center because of economical problems, 15.5% because of legal issues and 67.7% because of family pressure. 31.6% were opium and opium resin addicts, 60% were heroin addicts, 8.4% were crack addicts and 21.9% were IV abusers. 76.8% had at least one high risk behavior. Average dose of methadone was 86.5+35 mg/day. Mean survival time was 80 weeks. Relapse rate was 3.3% in the first month, 13.9% in three months, 23.2% in six months, 31.7% in first year and 41. 7% was a total relapse rate. Survival rate had a direct significant statistical relationship with the age, type of drug and method of use. Conclusion: According to the results of the present study that indicate a survival rate of 68.2% in a year and 58.3% after a year and also considering the results of other studies, we can conclude that MMP could be an effective method in the treatment of opiate drug disorders.
