Background: Parenting or child rearing is the process of promoting and supporting a child physically, emotionally, socially, and intellectual development of him from infancy to adulthood.Disturbances within family communication have a negative impact on adolescent's development and lead them to try to find a way out of the unbearable family situation like using drugs and abuse it.Dysfunctional family relationships or dysfunctional parenting are important predictors of addictions to all psychoactive substances. It is not rare to find that an addict's parents are very ambitious.The question remains how this relationship and interaction affects substance abuse in those individuals and to what extent.The aim of the study was to assess the quality of family communication between individuals diagnosed with substance abuse disorders and their parents and compare it with family communication between healthy individuals.Overall, by promoting education, support, community engagement, and resources, communities can create a comprehensive and collaborative approach to improving parenting practices and preventing addiction.
