This research paper: This is a 10 page paper discussing the social theories of Emile Durkheim and in relation to social theories of the social phenomenon of substance use and abuse. The social theories of Emile Durkheim relate to the important social factors of group cohesion, integration, interaction, limits and controls over its members. Without these aspects during times of rapid change and stress, group cohesion breaks down, called anomie by Durkheim, resulting in social deviance from groups members which may include substance use and abuse. Today’s studies on substance use and abuse take into account biological, psychological and social factors but group relationships are those which are considered as the “protective factors” for prevention of substance use and abuse. Those who are members of groups including families, schools, peers, social and religious which have higher cohesive, interactive and integration levels, are less likely to deviate from the morals and values of that group and interactive group programs are encouraged as preventative and supportive measures in communities considered at-risk for substance use and abuse and for those who are in addiction therapy. Bibliography lists 6 sources.
