Abstract: Background: Psychological capital is a person's good mental growth state. It is made up of four parts: self-efficacy, optimism, hope, and resilience (Luthans et al., 2007). Previous study has also shown that all aspects of psychological capital are strongly connected to drug abuse. People who are addicted to drugs are known to think and act on impulse and have low tolerance levels. Few resourceful studies have been done on how to help people deal with problems and keep them from relapsing. The purpose of this research is to examine the impact of mindfulness-based cognitive therapy on psychological capital, specifically how it cultivates increased awareness of one's own thoughts, feelings, and emotions in the here and now via the practice of non-reaction and non-judgment modes of attention. This research investigates the efficacy of mindfulness-based therapy in assisting alcoholics in establishing psychological capital and so reducing the likelihood of relapse.
