Purpose of the study is to identify objective indicators and advantages of various calculation methods applied to analyze of foreign and national practice of estimating social and economic losses of society from drug consumption. The analytical method was applied to analyze various approaches to estimating social economic losses of society because of drug consumption in various countries. The sampling of articles was implemented in accordance with the PRISMA guidelines in the PubMed, Google Scholar and eLibrary databases. It is established that in various studies assessing value of social cost of drug consumption, different methodological approaches are applied, which affects the results of assessment. The magnitude of social cost of drug addiction in the studies ranged from 0.00023% to 4.7% of the Gross Domestic (National) Product (GNP). The large part of social cost of drug abuse in GNP is mostly conditioned by estimating number of hidden drug users during the study, as well as by optimal approach in calculating expenditure categories. The assessment of amount of economic losses of society because of drug traffic is needed to make correct management decisions within the framework of implementation of state drug policy at various levels. This approach can help to better use of the public financial resources.</abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>review</kwd><kwd>social cost</kwd><kwd>drug addiction</kwd><kwd>damage assessment</kwd><kwd>economic losses</kwd><kwd>drug consumption</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>обзор</kwd><kwd>социальная стоимость наркомании</kwd><kwd>оценка ущерба</kwd><kwd>экономические потери</kwd><kwd>потребление наркотиков</kwd></kwd-group></article-meta></front><body></body><back><ref-list><ref id="B1"><label>1.</label><mixed-citation>Single E. et al.
