Can Drug Addiction Be Inherited? Yes. The risk for developing drug and alcohol problems is higher in children whose parents abuse alcohol or drugs—but it is NOT a guarantee that those children will either use drugs or become addicted. In fact, most children of parents who abuse alcohol or drugs do not develop alcoholism or addiction themselves. But, research shows that children with parents who abuse alcohol or drugs are more likely to try these substances and develop alcoholism or drug addiction. Why? Because children whose parents abuse alcohol and drugs: Are more likely to have behavioral problems, which increase the risk for trying alcohol or drugs. Have more opportunities to try these substances. Children may inherit a genetic predisposition (or greater likelihood) for addiction—having an “addictive personality,” so to speak. But, again most children of parents who abuse alcohol or drugs do not develop alcoholism or addiction themselves. This means that even if you inherited a risk for addiction, it does not mean that it is your destiny to become addicted to drugs. To avoid that risk entirely, it’s best not to start using, and if you’ve already tried drugs or alcohol, the sooner you stop or get help, the better.
