Introduction: Dependent behaviour 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 behaviour 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 behaviour.
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 behaviour.
