Drug addiction is an international issue that puts people's lives, societies, and the political stability and security of many nations in grave peril. The United Nations said in 2005 that the use of illicit drugs has increased globally and that the main global trend is the rising accessibility of various narcotics among an ever-widening range of consumers. The fact that young people attending school and colleges appear to be the new target market for the global pharma industry is quite concerning. The goal of this study is to comprehend the issues that respondents experience as a result of their drug addiction and how these issues directly impact their families, their social networks, and society, with particular emphasis on growing future generation. The study intended to comprehend the issues that respondents with drug addiction cause for their families, social networks, and society as a whole, with particular reference to young people from Tripura's west region. The kids and youngsters or adolescents from West District were the study's target group. The study area and each respondent were chosen through the use of purposeful sampling. Using systematic sampling, a total of 100 respondents from areas of Tripura's west district—have been chosen. Data collection involved the use of interview schedules.
