drug prevention

Drug prevention involves strategies and actions aimed at reducing the likelihood of individuals starting to use or abusing drugs. It includes education about the risks, developing personal and social skills, strengthening family and community support, and creating environments that discourage drug use. The goal is to help people make informed choices and build resilience against peer pressure and social influences that may lead to drug misuse. Effective prevention programs focus on awareness, early intervention, and fostering healthy lifestyles to reduce the overall incidence of substance abuse.
