Mothers with addiction diseases, in addition to facing the demands of parenthood, which in themselves demand a lot, face enormous obstacles brought by addiction, and especially the addiction of women, and they require a multidisciplinary approach from experts. The aim of this research is to gain an understanding of the circumstances, from the perspective of young mothers, that led to their addiction to drugs. A qualitative research method was used in the research, and the method of conducting the research is a semi-structured interview with five young mothers who have undergone or are currently undergoing addiction treatment. The results of the research were analyzed in accordance with the prescribed methodology for the analysis of qualitative data, in order to identify key patterns and themes. The results show that many respondents started using substances in adolescence due to various factors; family, personal and external factors. Likewise, the results show that they mostly did not have the opportunity to talk to people from their environment about their addiction, but when they did, they felt ashamed and distrustful of asking for help. Furthermore, the respondents of the research cited the poor physical condition of pregnant women who are dependent and the difficulties of regaining trust on the part of the social welfare system as the main difficulties of pregnant women and mothers. On the issue of discrimination from society and family, all respondents report feeling rejected in one of those two aspects.
