There were 100 subjects among drug addicts used in this study. Pearson Correlation Analysis showed that there is a significant negative correlation between social supports such as emotional dimensions, information dimensions, adjoining dimension and finally is the dimension of the tool with depression. The finding also revealed that emotional dimension as highest domain of that correlate with depression compares to the others dimensions.
