Drug use has become one of the biggest threats of harm to societies all over the world. There is currently a significant effort to prevent the illegal production, distribution, and consumption of these substances. Its use rapidly develops into a psychological and physiological dependence. Addiction is a condition where individuals continue using a substance despite knowing the risks involved and where they feel a need to increase their continuous dosage, all of which have legal consequences. The effects of legal regulations and law enforcement officers are reasonably significant in the fight against drugs. However, the main factor in this fight is to investigate ways of keeping society away from drugs by taking the necessary measures to prevent drug use. Addressing the subject through the communication paradigm is one of the main points of this struggle. Drug awareness and interpersonal communication begin in the family and continue into the socio-cultural environment. The level and nature of communication in both the family and the close environment are influencing factors for individuals who have drug dependencies. Drug offenses and rates of seizures have shown a statistically significant increase. In the online environment, in particular, children and youngsters are surrounded by news, games, images, and other elements that encourage drug use. Such platforms, as well as family and immediate environmental impacts, require a detailed examination. Family communication and role model communication are important methods to fight and prevent illegal drug use. The data obtained from 24 in-depth interviews indicate that the reasons for the trend towards drug use are: family, an emulation of rolemodels, friendship groups, social collapse, entertainment, curiosity, illness, and social media/easy access over the internet. According to the analysis obtained from verbal examinations of cases, the most prominent among these causes was the family-related cause.
