Background and Objectives: Considering the high prevalence of substance abuse, this study focused on the relationship between substance use and acceptance of antihypertensive treatment. Methods: This study is a cross-sectional descriptive analysis. Data was collected using three questionnaires: demographic, Hill-Bone, and DAST-20. In this research, chi-square test and independent t-test were used for data analysis, and if the assumptions of independent t-test were not met, Mann-Whitney test was used. Cramer's V has also been used to examine the intensity of the relationship between two qualitative variables. Results: In the results of this study, the prevalence of substance consumption was higher in men with a frequency percentage of 37.5%, compared to women with a frequency percentage of 13%. The frequency of opium consumption was higher among substance users compared to other substances. Hookah consumption reduces the acceptance level of treatment, but in individuals whose blood pressure is controlled, the acceptance level of treatment was higher (P<0.05). Conclusion: There was no strong association between substance use and acceptance of antihypertensive treatment.
