Abstract: Introduction: Anger, a fundamental human emotional response, is closely linked with alcohol consumption and its adverse effects. Men who consume alcohol are particularly susceptible to experiencing and expressing anger.Aim: This study aims to evaluate the efficacy of anger management interventions among individuals with alcohol dependency.Method and Material: Sixty alcohol-dependent individuals meeting inclusion criteria were selected through convenience sampling. Socio-demographic data were collected using a structured interview schedule. Anger levels were assessed using the Clinical Anger Scale before and after a two-week intervention comprising breathing exercises, anger management techniques, and mindful meditation. The data were analysed using MS Excel and SPSS software version 21.0.Results: Following the intervention, a significant reduction in anger levels was observed among the participants, indicating improvement in their ability to manage anger.Conclusion: The anger management intervention demonstrated effectiveness in reducing anger levels among alcohol-dependent individuals. Integrating such interventions into de-addiction treatment protocols can aid in managing anger, thereby potentially preventing relapses, and enhancing overall health outcomes.
