Summary:Today, the conditions for moving from one country to another, from one region to another, are more complex. The stress level experienced by the person who migrates can represent a vulnerable situation. The way to deal with this emotional distress can lead to two alternatives; facilitate their adaptation to the destination or put in a situation of risk, such as illicit drug use.
