          While I would some what agree with that statement, I read this as more of the people who were going to do the drugs, did them by themselves and not with people around the like they usually would.

          People used drugs and booze as a coping mechanism to deal with the isolation, some who in deed did not have a supportive community around the, like you said. But to point that out as a strictly “western” cultural issue is a little silly.
