Today, the misuse and abuse of drugs is one of the world's most widespread and critical problems.
Abstract
Medical treatment has been our main answer to date. But, considering the high rate of relapse, the expense and the lack of an adequate number of professionals, compounded by the easy availability of drugs, treatment has not been an effective answer to the problem. This paper explores the various prevention strategies on drug abuse education which could be adopted in our fight for a drug-free society. 15 references. (Author abstract)
