FAMILY VULNERABILITY AND DRUG USE IN ADOLESCENTS

Abstract

Drug use in adolescents is a social problem that demands internal and external conflicts at home. But it must be taken into account that one of the reasons why adolescents carry out this practice is the family, since there is no healthy family bond and this also generates conflicts in society, since many of these young people who consume tend to commit a crime or commit another type of transgression. The purpose of this study is to identify the origin that causes an adolescent to currently consume drugs. After investigating these causes in depth, we will be able to prevent the consequences that in this case would be a drug-dependent adolescent. All this was done with the purpose of contributing to the comprehensive development of young people and allowing them to project themselves into a better future with goals and objectives that help their personal growth. In order to carry out this research, the help of a CETAD (anonymous) was requested where 3 life stories were made that contributed positively to my research. Therefore, the respective interview was carried out with the local social worker, which helped us understand the intervention carried out in these rehabilitation centers. The results obtained from this research confirmed that family conflicts are the cause of drug use in adolescents, many of them report how difficult this process has been for them and even more so because they do not have the support and trust of their family.
