dc.description.abstractIntroduction: Drug addiction is a growing concern affecting people of all ages. This research focuses on the socio-psychological profile and experiences of persons with substance use disorder (SUD) on probation. Material and methods: This study employs a qualitative approach with a case study design, involving 10 male persons with SUD aged 25 to 54 in Malatya, Tiirkiye. Data was gathered through in-depth, semi -structured interviews with thematic analysis. Results: This study identifies several factors influencing substance initiation and continuation. These include social environment, access to substances, peer pressure, escape from social problems and the pursuit of pleasure. Additionally, the false perception of relief from substances, social context of dependence and identity tied to substance use play a role in continued usage. Lack of parental control, delayed parental realisation and residence in disadvantaged neighbourhoods are also influential. Discussion: The research data reveals a significant departure from conventional beliefs regarding psychoactive -substance use initiation. It highlights an initial, experimental phase preceding addiction among early initiators, while late initiators have distinct reasons for starting. Dependency is not solely on the substance but also on the environment and social connections. Family dynamics and environment play a pivotal role, with larger, less -controlled families potentially fostering substance use. Conclusions: The consequences of substance use extend beyond the individual and can impact their family, social circle and overall life. It disrupts personal lives, impedes social integration and fosters criminal behaviour. Substance use has profound repercussions, affecting not just the individual but also their broader social network and livelihood.en_US
