First, each individual must increase their knowledge especially religious knowledge. In every religious, there are teachings which people to avoid things that can harm themselves especially drugs. Drug can destroy every human if they are misused. For example, in Islam there teachings that explains that all believers avoid things that can damage themselves.

After that, individuals are encouraged to participate in anti-drug associations. For examples, they can join associations or clubs like Drug Prevention Association Malaysia (PEMADAM), National Anti-Drug Agency (AADK) and others. They can also obtain counseling services if they face the drug problem. According to Humphrey, Traxler and North, counseling means ‘a relationship between two individuals with the counselor and counselee which the main objective is to improve the welfare counselee and solve the problem’. In counseling, the individual can find any ways and get whatever guidance to avoid drugs from their lives.

Family is also an important factor to solve drugs problem. Parents are considered as role model to their children and youth. First, parents should be responsible for creating harmony in their family. Family chaos can lead to disunity within the family and this will cause their children to do something that is not good as drugs. They also need to take care of their children so as not to get stuck with the drug problem.

Second, parents can also collaborate with school. School is second home for children. So that, parents must together with school activities so that their children can be monitored. In addition, parents must also provide a complete education to their children since they were young.
