Abstract: Objective: To explore the relationship between personality traits and relapse tendency of drug addicts. Methods: 187 drug addicts were tested on the relapse tendency scale, and the results were analyzed by SPSS24.0.

Conclusion: The close association between personality traits and the relapse tendency provides a new perspective for us to better understand the relapse tendency of drug users and their influencing factors.
