In this paper, strongly cotorsion (torsion-free) modules are studied and strongly cotorsion (torsion-free) dimension is introduced. It is shown that every module has a special $\mathcal{SC}_n$-preenvelope and an ST $\mathcal{F}_n$-cover for any $n\;{\in}\;\mathbb{N}$ based on some results of cotorsion pairs from [9]. Some characterizations of strongly cotorsion (torsion-free) dimension of a module are given.
