The existing system of primary prevention of the spread of drug addiction is based on informing the population about the inevitable negative consequences of the use of psychoactive substances and (to a lesser extent) the basics of safe behavior that prevents involvement in the consumption of psychoactive substances (surfactants). In this article, a study was conducted on the relationship between the level of psychological health and the consumption of psychoactive substances. The following psychological factors – goals are defined, dividing them into a constructive vector and a destructive vector: factors of basic trustdistrust, factors of autonomy – dependence, confidence factor – doubts (guilt, shame), initiative factor – feelings of inferiority, stiffness, diligence factor – avoiding loads and difficulties, responsibility – irresponsibility factor, factor of sociability – closeness. The study was conducted in three major cities using a sociological survey method. In general, 623 respondents aged 14-17 years, who are students of secondary educational institutions, took part in the study. The data obtained suggest that the higher the level of psychological health development of an individual student, the lower the probability that he/she will start using alcohol or drugs
