Then dived into two groups as thirty (n=30) individuals with alcohol dependence and another thirty (n=30) individuals with opioid dependence and their caring spouses. The patient's age was between 25-50 years and spouses age 20-50 years, wives must living with the patients in the same household were included in the study.

This study examines the psychosocial correlates of SUD in youth, focusing on aspects such as family dynamics, peer relationships, socioeconomic status, and mental health. Through a mixed-methods approach, the findings reveal that adverse childhood experiences, parental substance use, and peer pressure significantly elevate the risk of developing SUD. Conversely, nurturing family environments and supportive peer relationships act as protective factors. These insights emphasize the need for targeted interventions that consider both individual and environmental influences to effectively reduce substance use among young people. By enhancing resilience and providing essential resources, communities can play a vital role in preventing SUD and fostering healthier developmental pathways.
