The high level of danger and the negative consequences of drug prevention programs make all the stakeholders must find an innovative ways of working all the time, the whole time by considering multi-layered aspects of the drug abuse impacts namely health, socio-economic and socio-culture approaches interconnectedly.Most of the time, the ability to seize the opportunity working in this area is needed. The opportunity to create a join-up programs involving private and social community groups in providing rehabilitation services is vital.Also, all the stakeholders need to exercise certain level of discretion working in this area.
