Abstract

Drug abuse can happen to anyone. For most people, it is of course cunning and the illicit circulation of drugs has high business value. Adolescence is a developmental phase between childhood and adulthood. Drugs refer to a group of compounds that have the impact and risk of addiction for their users. The actual purpose of using drugs containing psychotropic compounds is as an anesthetic, namely to anesthetize the patient during surgery or as a drug for a certain disease. A person's development during childhood and adolescence will shape that person's personal development in adulthood. That's why if children and teenagers are damaged by drugs, their future will be bleak or even destroyed. Narcotics is an abbreviation of Psychotropic Narcotics and other addictive substances, which are drugs or substances which, if entered into the body, affect bodily functions, especially the brain. Drugs are addictive substances because they cause dependence and are classified as psychoactive substances, meaning they affect the functioning of the brain and change the behavior of the user. Seeing the development of prevention of drug abuse and illicit trafficking in the country which is worrying and poses a serious threat to the survival of the nation and the future of the nation, serious attention and action is needed from all parties in an integrated and sustainable manner. BNNK is a non- structural government institution that is responsible and under the President whose task is to carry out drug prevention and eradication by forming a task force consisting of elements of related government agencies. The existence of BNNK is the right step to tackle disease in society due to drug abuse in a more complex way. Prevention or efforts are made, among other things, by counseling/socialization both among pupils and students. This program was carried out to improve coordination in the implementation of prevention, eradication, abuse and illicit trafficking of drugs. Preventing and eradicating drugs certainly requires support from all levels of society starting from the bureaucracy, educators, religious leaders/wide community. All of this is in accordance with the existence of Presidential Instruction 12 of 2011 concerning the Implementation of National Policies and Strategies for Preventing and Eradicating Drug Abuse and Illegal Trafficking.
