Abstract:
This study provides a concise overview of an exploratory study that examines
the social interactions of individuals struggling with drug addiction. Drug addiction is
a complex and multifaceted issue that not only affects an individual's physical and
mental health but also has significant social implications. This study aims to shed
light on the social dynamics, patterns, and challenges faced by drug addicts in their
interactions with others. The research employs a qualitative approach, utilizing in-
depth interviews and observations to gather data from a diverse sample of drug
addicts. The study explores various aspects of social interaction, including the
influence of drug addiction on relationships with family, friends, and society at large.
It investigates the barriers to forming and maintaining healthy social connections, as
well as the impact of stigma and discrimination on social interaction. Furthermore, the
study examines the role of peer groups and support networks in the lives of drug
addicts, investigating how these social networks can either exacerbate or mitigate the
addiction cycle. Findings from this study will contribute to a better understanding of
the social complexities surrounding drug addiction and inform the development of
targeted interventions to enhance social support systems. By shedding light on the
challenges faced by drug addicts in their social interactions, this research aims to
foster empathy, reduce stigma, and ultimately improve the quality of life for
individuals struggling with addiction and their communities.
