    Abstract
    There have been numerous efforts by the government to bring to an end the phenomenon of drug abuse. Nonetheless, it has been growing and is becoming economically and socially horrendous. The study sets apart the dependence stages that women drug users go through in their living, categorizes the outcomes of drug abuse and addiction on women, and investigates how government and other organizations take measures to help these pitiable victims to recover and come back to healthy situation and normal habit. The study employed documentary review, interview and questionnaire survey to collect data. Purposive sampling, random sampling and snowball sampling techniques were used to get a sample of women living within and without the sober houses. The study revealed that, demographic factors such as age, marital status and low educational level have an influence on young women drug abuse. Other factors of influence include peer pressure, availability and affordability of drugs and sex working activity. The study recommends that all stakeholders should do their best to contribute to the prevention and enhancement of protective factors through family-based intervention and provision of nation-wide meaningful youth employment.
