Description
Drug abuse prevalence in Indonesia is increasing every year with most of the victims being school and university students. Based on the data, drug users in Indonesia reached 4 million in 2011, about one third of the users were introduced to drugs through smoking. To our alarm, a high number of students in Indonesia, including Yogya, are active smokers. Drugs abuse may lead to the spread of HIV-AIDS through free sex behaviour. The National Drug Beureu had rehabiltated as many as 34.467 drug users through medical and social rehabilitation at both government and non government-run rehabilitation centers. Therefore, through PIKO, UAD takes an active part in the campaign against drug abuse by socializing harmful effect of drug consumption.
