The present work originates from a critical question regarding traditional and recent theories about the abuse of narcotic substances. Given this, we try to go through the premises adopted from the dopamine theory and the reward system, critically exposing some studies on its total veracity. The role of drug users in contemporary times as a determinant of a neurological system, which causes chemical dependency, is questioned. The notion of a new panorama of the theme of drugs is developed, considering the various vicissitudes regarding the infinity of issues related to drug use, understanding through scientific research that, human behavior and the singularity of these people's lives speak much more about the hypothesis of drug abuse than the descriptive and limited justification of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, or DSM, for the diagnosis of Substance-Related Disorders. It also seeks to defend the idea that a small portion of the population had a real problem with substance use. Finally, two clinical cases are presented, experienced in the mandatory stage to support the theoretical hypothesis developed throughout the work.
