The realism of Drug Addiction and the Behaviour of Family Members • The average rate of drug addiction is one alcohol or drug addict per family arrangement. There are some families with a series of addictions within the same system. For spouses who are addicted, they occur in two ways, mostly in the case of alcoholism. One of the occurrences is that a spouse can be intensely into drugs that it is clear to all individuals it is an addiction, while for the other the addiction is not as apparent and obvious.

This generally makes drug addiction less serious but more favourable. An example is family unions and celebrations that are characterized by taking alcohol. • In addition, there is a notion of expectation among the family members that a sober addict will become the kind of individual the members of the family are used to or want him or her to be. What happens is that the family members can identify some undesirable traits of the personality of drug addiction and develop the notion that an absence of the chemicals will let the addict's real personality and self-emerge. The family members might see some preview of the wanted changes they might be looking for in a person during the recovery period but sustained behaviour changes and traits occur after a period.
