Abstract

The context of this investigation, the psychological effects of drug abuse are looked at in more detail. It looks at how social and environmental factors can cause and keep these conditions going. A quantitative  research method is used for the study, which includes in-depth conversations and emphasize groups with people who have been addicted to drugs, as well as key sources like family members, healthcare providers, and social workers. The goal is to look into how complex social settings (like family relationships, peer pressure, alongside community support) and external factors (similar to housing, drug access, and socioeconomic status) affect each other. Researchers hope that the results of this study will give us a greater awareness of how sociological and environmental factors can cause and keep people addicted to drugs. The study wants to find out how these outside things affect people's emotions and thoughts by looking into the psychological parts.  researchers will look at things like shame, social isolation, anxiety, and ways of living to figure out how they affect people's drug use. The study's findings will help make more effective, all-around management plans that take into account not only the person's mental health needs but also their wider social and environmental situations. These kinds of methods might help lower the number of cases and effects of drug use diseases, which would improve the condition and standard of life for those who are impacted. Substance abuse disorders (SUDs) are complex and multi-faceted, including several factors such as genetics, the environment, psychology, and social interactions. The major focus of this study is on the psychosocial aspects that contribute to the development and persistence of drug use disorders. This article delves into several facets, including social and environmental factors, family dynamics, socioeconomic status, and peer pressure, to provide a comprehensive picture of how these variables impact drug addiction. This study's investigation of the role of social contact, chronic stress, trauma, and co-occurring mental health issues in the maintenance of SUDs further highlights the need of holistic treatment approaches. I am always looking for new methods to express myself. There is a wide variety of risk factors for addiction to drugs (SUDs) in Malaysia. Societal, psychological, biological, and genetic variables all have a role. Numerous studies have shown that psychological and social factors play a significant role in the development and maintenance of drug abuse problems. According to studies, teens are more likely to experiment with drugs when they feel pressured to do so by their peers. Important family dynamics can include parental drug usage and family conflict. Two ways whereby one's socioeconomic status impacts drug consumption are stress plus lack of resources.
