To achieve the goals of the study, an intentional sample of 150 individuals from the drug users and the convicts was chosen from Swaqa Center. The study data were collected through a questionnaire. To answer the study questions, the researcher adopted the means, standard deviations, and One-Way and Three-Way AOVA. The study found that the most important social effects resulting from using drugs are: the unemployment, harassment of women, poverty, the addicted person loses the ability to interact with others, the addiction forfeits the societies from self-dependence and causes to poor adaptation in marital relationships, and weakens the conscience of the addicted person.
