24. Conclusion
• Drug abuse is a complex problem thought to result from
a combination of psychological, and environmental
factors. Infants of abusers may suffer from neglect or the
effects of parental drug use. As they grow into childhood,
they may demonstrate antisocial behavior, and signs
of malnutrition, poor self-esteem, depression,
or attention deficit disorder. Identification of drug abuse
is a difficult first step on the road to recovery because of
the methods many abuses use to hide their addiction, the
inability of family members to recognize or accept the
problem, and the relatives' enabling behavior.
