Summary/Abstract: The spread of drug abuse and psychotropic substances within society and in institutions today constitutes an issue of public opinion, especially in the field of combating it. It has become at the forefront of social problems. It is considered a waste of human wealth due to its targeting of the human mind, especially if it targets members of society and their falling into the cycle of addiction, which affects the social system. Talking about its spread within society and its various institutions, it is considered a new challenge and confrontation facing the efforts made by the state to combat it. In addition, it constitutes a danger to society. Therefore, raising this social issue is a step toward understanding its causes and how to prevent, treat, and eliminate it within all circles. The descriptive approach was followed to describe the various family mechanisms used to confront the phenomenon of drug abuse, its types and its effects on the family. This approach aims to observe the methods adopted by the family to confront drug abuse. The importance of the subject of the study lies in the widespread spread of this scourge within society’s institutions and the extent of its impact on the life of the individual. The aim of the study is to reveal the structure of the legal system of the Algerian state related to confronting drugs and psychotropic substances and to identify strategic plans and therapeutic, preventive and deterrent mechanisms against them. The results showed that despite the family mechanisms provided by the family, its increasing spread threatens the entity of the family and society, so all state institutions must work together to combat the phenomena.
