The strategy of the Ministry of Interior and its strategic partners to combat the dangers of the drug scourge is based on a comprehensive approach that integrates awareness, prevention, and care. It is imperative to build a preventative family culture, raise public awareness using innovative interactive methods, instill values of belonging and national identity, and enhance the benefits of local and international experiences and expertise in the field of drug prevention, as the family is the first line of defense for its members against the scourge of drugs.

Efforts continue to raise public awareness of the dangers of drugs and highlight their negative effects on individuals and society. The relevant authorities in the country are committed to a proactive, integrated approach that focuses on prevention and rehabilitation, fostering a safe environment that protects our youth and families from this dangerous scourge.

 There are ongoing efforts to enhance families' awareness of their responsibilities and highlight their role as the primary source of protection. This is achieved by empowering them with the knowledge and skills necessary for early detection of risk indicators and timely, positive intervention, while emphasizing the importance of prevention as a fundamental pillar of the anti-drug system.
