'Drogenabhängig' (drug-dependent) consists of 'Drogen' (drugs) and 'abhängig' (dependent). The first component directly specifies what the dependence relates to, so an additional phrase with 'von' (on) is normally unnecessary.
Ihr Bruder ist seit mehreren Jahren drogenabhängig.
Her brother has been drug-dependent for several years.
Typical collocations are 'drogenabhängig sein' (to be drug-dependent) for an existing state and 'drogenabhängig werden' (to become drug-dependent) for the development of a dependency.
Sie ist drogenabhängig und nimmt an einer Therapie teil.
She is drug-dependent and is undergoing therapy.
Er hat Angst, wieder drogenabhängig zu werden.
He is afraid of becoming drug-dependent again.
Before a noun, 'drogenabhängig' (drug-dependent) is often used with words referring to people, such as 'Menschen' (people), 'Jugendliche' (young people), or 'Patienten' (patients). You will encounter these combinations especially in texts about counseling, treatment, and social support.
Die Einrichtung bietet drogenabhängigen Jugendlichen Beratung und Unterstützung an.
