Abstract

The relevance of the research is conditioned by the necessity to study the relationship between genetic and environmental determinants in the formation of alcohol and / or drug addiction. The growing number of people worldwide, who use various addictive chemicals as well as the appearance of new «designer» drugs, have necessitated the research on the causes of dependent behavior. It is mostly due to the parent family background that such behavior arises. As a result, regression models with high predictive power for groups of alcohol and drug addicts have been built. The models include a number of independent variables, such as the age of the first dose, the threat to life in childhood, suicides and prison terms in family history. A hypothesis has been confirmed that the immediate environment plays the leading role in supporting early dose and in the formation and preservation of addiction based on psychoactive substances. The analysis of parent family background has shown that the presence of addicts, violence and other traumatic events exert a steady influence upon the functioning of all subjects of the family system and can contribute to the formation of alcohol and drug addiction in future. The results obtained are important for rendering medical, psychological and social assistance to the addicted and for working out preventive/ precautionary measures to apply to the other members of the family.
