OBJECTIVES
This study aims to provide a comprehensive overview of substance abuse amongst Syrian individuals in an addiction rehabilitation center.
METHODS
This is a descriptive cross-sectional survey-based study, from patients receiving treatment in an addiction rehabilitation center in Damascus. Syria. The study was conducted over a period of nine months.
RESULTS
A total of 82 participants were recruited, the majority of them were males (n = 78.95.1%). More than half of those investigated reported multi-level failure (n = 46, 56.1%) during their education. Most of the participants (n = 44, 53.7%) started to use drugs at a friend's home. The family was shown to play a positive role in stopping the initial drug taking trials at early stages (33/56, 58.9%). Again, friends' effect was the main reason for the return of abusing drugs (20/56, 35.7%). Sources of drugs were mainly from drug promoters for most of the participants (n = 58, 70.7%) followed by friends (n = 28, 34.1%). Participants revealed that taking drugs were mostly accompanied by additional habits such as cigarette smoking before using their drugs (n = 65, 79.3%), or drinking alcohol (57.3%). Surprisingly, participants believed that drug abuse does not lead to addiction (n = 52, 63.4%). The most common experienced feeling was depressed, desperate, or sad (n = 47, 57.3%), followed by anxiety and the desire to escape reality and resort to imaginations (n = 44, 53.7%).
CONCLUSIONS
The findings of this study indicate the need of policymakers to give more attention, in developing preventive strategies, to friends, as a main cause of addiction, in addition to the family influences on individual's drug abuse, addiction behaviors, and mindsets. Understanding the influencing factors could spot the light on the key to solve the addiction problem. A realist rehabilitation programs must be well designed and implemented as the level of individuals, institutions and communities to face this problematic addiction disaster.
目的
本研究旨在全面概述一家戒毒康复中心内叙利亚人的药物滥用情况。
方法
这是一项基于描述性横断面调查的研究，研究对象为叙利亚大马士革一家戒毒康复中心正在接受治疗的患者。该研究历时九个月。
结果
共招募了82名参与者，其中大多数为男性（n = 78，95.1%）。超过半数的被调查者称其在受教育期间经历过多次失败（n = 46，56.1%）。大多数参与者（n = 44，53.7%）开始吸毒是在朋友家中。研究表明，家庭在早期阻止初次吸毒尝试方面发挥了积极作用（33/56，58.9%）。同样，朋友的影响是复吸的主要原因（20/56，35.7%）。对大多数参与者来说，毒品来源主要是毒品贩子（n = 58，70.7%），其次是朋友（n = 28，34.1%）。参与者表示，吸毒时大多还伴有其他习惯，比如吸毒前吸烟（n = 65，79.3%），或饮酒（57.3%）。令人惊讶的是，参与者认为吸毒不会导致成瘾（n = 52，63.4%）。最常体验到的情绪是沮丧、绝望或悲伤（n = 47，57.3%），其次是焦虑以及逃避现实和沉迷幻想的欲望（n = 44，53.7%）。
结论
本研究结果表明，政策制定者在制定预防策略时，除了要关注家庭对个人药物滥用、成瘾行为和思维模式的影响外，还需更多地关注作为成瘾主要原因的朋友因素。了解这些影响因素有助于找到解决成瘾问题的关键。必须根据个人、机构和社区的实际情况精心设计并实施切实可行的康复项目，以应对这一棘手的成瘾灾难。
