Life experiences of active drug users
FIDLEROVÁ, Nikola
The bachelor thesis focuses on the life experiences of active substance users. The aim of the thesis is to find out what effect active use of illegal substances and participation in criminal activities has on family relationships. A sub-objective is to identify what contexts have influenced the development of addiction. The thesis examines the family, its influence on addiction and the impact of addiction on the family. It introduces what addiction is, the categorical divisions of addictive substances, the most common problems associated with the active use of illicit substances, social work with users, help options for illicit substance users, and addiction treatment. The last chapter includes qualitative research based on two families, with a total of six narratives, who have experienced a family member's addiction to illicit substances. The results present addiction from the perspective of active users, their mothers, and younger brothers.
