Abstract

The increase in substance abuse data among teenagers is alarming in today’s society. The current imbalance in the state of modernity and spirituality in the formation of identity among adolescents causes these groups to be involved in substance abuse. Lack of knowledge of the risk and protective factors in the use of substance abuse is also seen as a factor in society’s view of this issue as an insignificant social problem and is becoming more prevalent each year. In the context of primary and secondary schools, the Ministry of Education Malaysia and the National Anti-drug Agency should consider a holistic and effective approach to implementing various prevention and rehabilitation programs through the Drug and Public Safety Education Guidelines aimed at providing knowledge, awareness and understanding to school children, teenagers, parents, the community and the community on the risk of drug abuse and make it a “Drug Free State”. As such, this paper will provide insights into the modules of rehabilitation in substance abuse and spiritual therapy that need to be given to reduce substance abuse cases along with adding value to adolescents in particular.
