Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) are broadly used to support people's daily needs. Individuals addicted to psychoactive drugs sometimes present social exclusion as well as, limitations to the usage of ICT such as Internet, devices and applications. The aim of this paper is to present the findings of a pilot study related to the use of Information and Communication Technologies by Drug Addicts. A survey was conducted on 204 users of psychoactive substances. According to the results, the majority of the drug addicts seem to use ICT on a daily basis, showing their preference on Smartphones compared to other devices. The Internet access and the usage of Social Media and Communication Networks by addicted individuals is quite high, probably because they are willing to reintegrate into the society through Social Networks. Age is often related to the usage of ICT on Drug Addicts.
信息通信技术（ICT）被广泛用于满足人们的日常需求。对精神活性药物上瘾的个体有时会面临社会排斥，以及在使用ICT（如互联网、设备和应用程序）方面的限制。本文旨在呈现一项关于吸毒者使用信息通信技术的试点研究结果。对204名精神活性物质使用者进行了一项调查。根据结果，大多数吸毒者似乎每天都使用ICT，与其他设备相比，他们更偏爱智能手机。上瘾个体的互联网接入以及社交媒体和通信网络的使用相当频繁，这可能是因为他们愿意通过社交网络重新融入社会。年龄往往与吸毒者使用ICT有关。
