Question

what is drug abuse and it's causes?

Answer 1

The cause of drug abuse is not fully known but likely include genetic predisposition, co-occurring conditions and environmental circumstances. Drug use and experimentation is common in pre-adolescents and adolescents, but only a small percentage of those users will go on to abuse drugs.

Additional risk factors contributing to the causes of drug abuse include:

Unstable home environment, often due to drug abuse or mental illness of the parentA poor relationship with parentsUse of drugs by friends / peersPermissive attitude towards their own drug use and the drug use of the adolescentBehavioral problems combined with poor parentingPoor achievement in schoolApparent ambivalence or approval of drug use in the school, peer group or communityAvailability of drugs from friends

Combination of Causes of Drug Abuse

While genetic, environmental and psychiatric causes of drug abuse are possible, it is likely that a combination of risk factors is truly the cause of drug abuse. If a person has a genetic predisposition to drug abuse, that likely indicates one of the parents abuses drugs. This may create an unstable home life and, possibly, emotional or psychological problems. Together, these can become the drug abuse cause.
