Objective: This study evaluates a novel psychomotor intervention—integrating Choice Theory and Taekwondo—versus conventional programs to reduce substance abuse relapse in high-risk, post-detoxification adolescents.



Methodology: A quasi-experimental design (pre-test, post-test, 3-month follow-up) was utilized. Via multi-stage cluster sampling, 300 adolescents (aged 13–18) from five regions were randomly assigned to three equal groups (n=100): novel intervention, conventional programs, and control.



Intervention & Tools: The novel intervention comprised 12 ninety-minute sessions (45 minutes Reality Therapy + 45 minutes Taekwondo). Data were collected using the Iranian Adolescent Risk-taking Scale (IARS).



Data Analysis: Data will be analyzed in SPSS using Repeated Measures ANOVA (p < 0.05).



Expected Outcome: This mind-body approach aims to facilitate emotional discharge and cognitive restructuring. It is expected to outperform traditional methods, offering an engaging, cost-effective protocol to reduce the “revolving door” phenomenon in adolescent rehabilitation centers.
