Introduction. Dependent behavior represents a strong homeostasis of the
family of an addict. Objective. The aim of our research is to record and
explore irregularities during the addicts’ growth, as well as the specific
type of family relations in the addicts’ family. Methods. For research
purposes a general questionnaire was used on growth and development, and
GRADIR questionnaire on the assessment of family relationships. Results. Our
results indicate that delinquent behavior is often found with the addicts
before the occurrence of abuse. A significant dysfunctional family of addicts
was detected. Families with an addict were not substantially damaged or
altered in terms of emotional exchange, but in their structure that enhanced
dysfunction leading to addictive behavior. Conclusion. Emotional investments
without control, prohibitions and penalties, contribute to a lack of
consciousness that disturbs the process of socialization. Due to the apparent
control and the apparent support, the addicts do not have structured
organization and socialization. Emotional stimuli without obligation for
polytoxicomanes to maintain a reciprocal relationship with their parents
influence the parental support of egoistic style of behavior.
