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.
