Based on the information find out, which way they interpret their experience of drug addiction and what significance they have in their lives. The secondary goal is to try to find key moments in life, where there was space for change and to these moments focus the prevention. Therefore, the target group is individuals with experience in grug addiction. In the theoretical part, drug addiction is comprehensively developed, from onset to treatment. The practical part consists of qualitative research, which is carried out by a method of narrative analysis of four respondents, who have experience of drug addiction. The information was obtained using half-structured conversation. Research shows that the experience of drug addiction has a significant role in the lives of the investigated individuals. Although we can find some similarities in people in relation to drug addiction, it is not possible to generalize the importance of drug addiction in the life of a person, because the processing of this experiance is subjective. A major influence on the interpretation of the relationship to drug experince is whether it is still a drug user or abstinent. Not least, research shows that prevention can not target only on one source of the problem, so it is necessary to apply non-specific prevention in this respect
