The aim of this article is to revisit the multivariate causes of drug use. From the initial drive to experiment, to a progression towards dependence, this review endeavours to extrapolate the aetiology of causation. In doing so, prevalence of, and attitudes towards drug use are firstly examined. Influences on why people use illicit drugs are subsequently explored through the lens of established risk factors. Drug use and dependence are embedded within a complex interplay of invidual, genetic, cultural, and socio-economic components. By exploring the aetiology of drug use in a holistic sense, this will not only aid the therapeutic quality of intervention from clinicians, but enable the development of more comprehensive and tailored intervention plans in supporting recovery.
本文旨在重新探讨药物使用的多变量原因。从最初的尝试，到逐渐成瘾，本文试图推断出病因的发生机制。为此，首先检查了药物使用的流行率和态度。随后，通过已确立的风险因素的视角探讨了人们使用非法药物的原因。药物使用和依赖是个人、遗传、文化和社会经济因素复杂相互作用的结果。通过从整体角度探讨药物使用的病因，不仅有助于临床医生提高干预的治疗质量，还能为支持康复制定更全面和个性化的干预计划。
