| Abstract | ||
| The problem of substance abuse is a serious psycho-social problem that affects society in general and the individual in particular, with its negative psychological, social and economic consequences. The problem lies in the fact that it is spread out among children who represent a basic human force in society. The danger of this problem is also that the individual no longer has a single drug, but he is taking more than one drug at the same time. The dependence between children and young people is one of the most widespread among all social strata of different cultures and beliefs. A father can in no way assert the fact that his son is one of those who cannot fall into the trap of relying on psychological materials. The current study relied on the following tools: Initial data form, social skills scale for the addressees and the actual sample: After verifying the validity and stability of the measuring instrument, the tools were applied to the sample of the study. This current study drives at identifying the psycho-social dimensions associated with development of social skills in addiction-targeted adolescents. The researchers use in this study the descriptive method. The sample is selected randomly from out-visitors on the Hot Line clinics associate to the Combat and Therapy Fund of Addiction. The sample consists of (50) male adolescents dependent on psychological drug-abuse, aged (13-18 years old). The present study uses these tools: primary data form – scale of social skills for addicts. After checking validity and reliability of measurement tool, it is applied on the study ample individuals, as researchers have administered (50) scales as the total number of the study sample individuals. The most important results show and prove validity of the first hypothesis as: there are significant statistical differences between average scores of the study sample of (preparatory students) and the study ample of secondary students regarding the skill of anger control. The second hypothesis's validity is not proved as: there are significant statistical differences between average scores of the study sample of (preparatory) students and the study sample of (secondary) students regarding the skill of solving problems. The third hypothesis's validity is not also proved as: there are significant statistical differences between average scores of the study sample of (preparatory) students and the study sample of (secondary) students regarding the skill of self-actualization and guiding the adolescent indirectly to preferable activities and suitable for his sustenance when he fulfills them actively. The researchers recommend the necessity for training for the adolescent-addict to express his feeling towards any problem he meets not fall as a victim to that problem; working as well on establishing a counseling collective programs that collect the addicts' families to guide them for the critical role a family plays in treating addiction. | ||
