A socio-psychological survey and clinical-psycholo­gical research were conducted (level of alexithymia; intensity of internet addiction; individual-charactero­logical personality traits; individual style of coping strategies, behavioral patterns and resources of per­sonality) in the cohort of 150 people at the age of 15-24, average age: 18.9±1.64, M:F= 87:63). As a result of the randomization of subjects, 3 groups were detected: themain group (people with traces of deve­loping anaddiction from “new psychoactive substan­ces” (NPS)) (MG, 50 people); a comparison group (people with “non-chemical” forms of addiction (in­ternet addiction) (CG, 50 people) and a reference group (50 people, without addictions and deviant be­havior). The research of coping behavior methods, in the category “Search for social support” groups MG and RG significantly differ statistically (probability of passing similarity p = 0.016, t =2.45, df = 147) has shown the significance of asocial network support as in the case of NPS addiction. The total score of the Toronto Alexithymia Scale-26-R showed that peo­ple from MG (average number 67.66±8.01) and RG (average number 58.92±8.36) statistically differ si­gnificantly, with a probability of passing similarity being p<0.001, t=5.3, df=147. Indicators of expres­sed alexithymia noticeably prevailed in MG and CG, in comparison with the RG. While researching in­ternet addiction using a subject oriented scale, there was a statistically significant difference between CG and RG. The probability of a passing similarity is p = 0.006, t=2.82, df =147. The received and analyzed study materials are the basis for the development of acombined preventive and rehabilitation program for those with “NPS” addiction and “internet addiction” among teenagers and youth.
