This book chapter discusses the causes of the rapid rise in
drug abuse and several strategies that may be used to control the rapid rise of
drug abuse among adolescents during the COVID-19 pandemic to date
(post-pandemic era). The suggested effective strategies are based on the
holistic approach model that engages all stakeholders to work collaboratively
to implement prevention and intervention strategies as posited by the PROSPER
Model. Prosper Model brings together schools, families, communities, and
Universities in partnerships that use positive approaches to strengthen
families and empower youths to make informed decisions. Keeping adolescents
engaged in fruitful activities, empowering them with life skills, and involving
the students in volunteer work for vulnerable children will help them resist
peer pressure and contribute meaningfully to society.
