Numerose ricerche rilevano l’impatto che esperienze sfavorevoli infantili possono avere sulla dipendenza da sostanze. 32 tossicodipendenti maschi in trattamento presso comunità e 32 soggetti appartenenti a un gruppo non clinico sono stati intervistati attraverso la Childhood Experience of Care and Abuse (CECA). La maggior parte dei soggetti del gruppo clinico ha esperito maggiori esperienze (p < 0.05) di negligenza, abuso fisico e psicologico, e ha ricevuto forme più inadeguate di supervisione e disciplina. Inoltre, i soggetti del gruppo clinico sono stati esposti a un numero più elevato (p = 0.01) di esperienze sfavorevoli. I risultati suggeriscono la presenza di specifiche forme di abuso e maltrattamento legate allo sviluppo di dipendenza da sostanze.;
