Abstract: In Juárez City, substance abuse, particularly of methamphetamine, has recently become a serious mental health problem, impacting both individuals and society. Circumstances such as poverty, which has forced mothers to work long hours in the maquiladora industry alongside their fathers, neglecting childcare, and the violence resulting from turf wars between drug cartels, along with the loss of identity caused by its border location and status as a destination for both Mexicans and foreigners, make Ciudad Juárez a city of stark contrasts. In this context, the workload of psychiatrists in this border city, as in the rest of the country, is overwhelming, both in public institutions and in private practice. It is difficult for individuals in rehabilitation centers to access psychiatric evaluations. These types of places are generally not well regulated by health institutions, due to the same saturated system; these places are run by non-professional people where human rights violations may be occurring; there are others where an empirical effort is made to provide treatment that can help people with addictive disorders.
