Results: The findings can be categorized in the four main categories of family members (with four subgroups: softness in speech, family apathy toward the individual and addiction, covering with the hope of self-understanding and struggling with addicted), social relations of family members (with four subgroups: shrinking relationships because of shame and embarrassment, shrinking relationships because of acquaintances blaming, shrinking relationships because of acquaintances questioning and acquaintances attitude), the type of behavior of acquaintances with family (with three subgroup: acquaintances blaming, acquaintances irony and pity) and social stigma (with three subgroup: community rejection of addiction, stigma of susceptibility of addiction and stigma of disease).
Conclusion: Due to the research findings, stigma and its consequences can be considered as one of the critical issues for the families of addicts.
