Addiction is somewhat normal among men, in contrast to the tendency towards narcotics among abnormal women.

A woman s addiction can have more harmful effects on other family members. Accordingly, in this research, social factors affecting women s addiction have been tried. Theories used in this research are the theory of pressure, Sutherland s theory of learning, subculture theory, social control theory of humor, the theory of moron, and rational choice theory. The most important hypotheses used in this research are the study of the effect of independent variables (peer group, reference group, economic and social base, material availability, family disruption) on the dependent variable (drug use tendency).Methods : Survey research method, the data needed to test the hypotheses were obtained through a researcher-made questionnaire along with an interview. The statistical population is a case study of all addicted women in addiction treatment camps in Babol city. Data analysis was performed using one-variable and multi-variable regression using SPSS software.Results : The results of the test of hypotheses in one-variable regression show that all hypotheses pass the test except for the peer group and have a meaningful relationship with drug use. Conclusion : In the multi-variable regression, the coefficient of determination is 0.64. That is, these independent variables account for 0.64% of the dependent variable, and other factors are unknown
