Summary/Abstract: Drug use is considered a problem in today's society. Most people come to use drugs out of a desire to try something new, others out of curiosity, but the most common causes of drug use are family problems and the desire to belong to a particular group. The integrated programme of assistance for substance users is expressed through a varied system of therapeutic, social and psychological programmes, which materialize in an individualized plan of assistance for their reintegration. The methods used to carry out the research were a sociological survey based on an interview guide and an opinion survey which were administered to drug users. The aim of this research is to identify the perception of drug users regarding the causes that led them to consume illicit substances and the importance of family support, as well as the way in which specialists get involved and act for the social reintegration of drug users. Drug use is a growing phenomenon, which without the intervention and support of specialists will have negative repercussions both on the population, but especially on the people who use drugs.
