ABSTRACT Many adolescents are involved in drug abuse, this is marked by the rise of apprehension by officers against adolescents who commit drug abuse, even this is also supported by data (Kanwil Menkumham Sumbar 2020) which states that at the nowadays, the Association of Suppliers and Institutions is inhabited by most by teens and two-thirds is caused by drug abuse. This condition, if left unchecked, will certainly be worrying because adolescents are the hope of a nation that will later become leaders. To overcome this problem, it is certainly not enough to be left to the authorities, government agencies, community leaders starting from the village level to the central level.
