According to World Health Organization (WHO), substance abuse refers to the harmful or hazardous use of psychoactive substances, including alcohol and illicit drugs. Psychoactive substance use can lead to dependence syndrome which is a continuous, repeated and persistent use of the substance despite its harmful consequences; leading to a high priority being given to the use of the substance to the deterrent of other activities and obligations (WHO, 2014). the study aims to examine the illicit use of toxic drugs amongyouths in the fct abuja.One hundred (100) questionnaires were distributed to ten (10) purposively sampled areas using purposive  sampling  technique  and the finding was analyzed using the simple percentage (%) method. The findings from this study reveal that certain social factors are involved in why youths abuse drugs. These factors include environmental factors such as peer group influence, lack of good home trainings, family influence among others.
