The present study is based on the secondary data about national and regional drug abuse from books, a journal, periodicals, and seminar and on observations obtained in the last 5 years of service in the field of drug abuse. Causes of addiction can be divided into three major categories: biological, social, and psychological causes. The biological causes include the auto addiction of some drugs such as morphine or pethedine and genetic causes. Psychological causes include frustration with life, peer pressure, relief from stress. The social causes include peer pressure, unemployment and job insecurity, and socioeconomic instability. Drug abuse can bring with it mental effects such as depression and suicidal tendencies; physical effects such as liver inflammation, contaminated blood, oral infections, septicemia, insomnia, and HIV/AIDS; and social effects such as family disruptions, isolation from social and cultural activities and criminal activities such as theft, robbery, extortion, and murder. The problem of drug addiction has become a prime concern all over the world. Drug addiction is not only impairing public health but corrupting institutions, retarding socioeconomic development, threatening political security, and, in some cases, endangering state security.
