Drug addiction not only affects an individual, but it has now become a critical social and public health issue that has consequences for families as well as routine functioning in society. Addiction ravages families, erodes emotional bonds, and leads to financial, social and psychological strains. The present study focused on exploring how drug addiction affects families, including the socio-economic and emotional effects, as well as coping and recovering mechanisms used by families. The particular domains were family interactions, daily routines, economic well-being, psychological distress and coping strategies. A quantitative research design was applied and data were collected through a structured questionnaire from 384 respondents. Sample size was calculated using Cochran’s formula and data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. The findings showed that drug addiction greatly increases family conflict, decreases trust, and hinders communication and emotional bonding. Affecting everyday practices including personal routines, financial management, hygiene and performance at work or school. Family members faced severe psychological stress, and coping strategies included obtaining emotional support from family members and professional counseling as well as getting involved with the community, although low access to counselor service and government assistance persisted. Their research provides a compelling argument for the adoption of comprehensive approaches that include family-based support systems, rehabilitation frameworks, awareness-driven programs, and bolstered social services to counter the adverse effects of drug addiction and improve recovery pathways.
