Abstract
Drug abuse is a major public health concern that has a substantial impact on people and communities all over the world. It is necessary to comprehend the behavioural and social factors that contribute to drug usage for developing targeted interventions, particularly in Lahore rehabilitation centres. The objective of this study is to investigate the social and behavioural factors influencing drug abuse among patients admitted in Lahore rehabilitation centers, focusing on the roles of sociodemographic, psychological, and environmental actors on the causes of drug usage. This cross-sectional study is based on data collection from 385 drug abusers through questionnaires from six rehabilitation centers in Lahore. The response variable ‘reasons for drug use’ included four categories: friend’s offer, joy-seeking, economic worries, and other related factors. The data was analyzed using a multinomial logistic regression model. It is found that income level, gender, and which drug first used have a significant impact on drug initiation in all causes of drug abuse. Other notable predictors included detoxification methods, blood pressure, and started using drugs after thirty years of age. These results highlight the complex interplay of social, and physical factors in drug abuse initiation. It is concluded that behavioural characteristics, family issues, gender, and money all have a significant impact on drug initiation. In order to lower risks, successful interventions should focus on financial difficulties and offer family-centered therapy. To improve treatment results and avoid recurrence, rehabilitation programs must implement customized strategies.
