Abstract: Substance abuse is a social problem, not in India alone, but the entire world. The use of substance has its own culture and history, which varies from country to country. Substance abuse among adolescents has become a global challenge and also an important public health concern and for the past two decades there has been a dramatic increase in the demand for interventions to address the substance abuse problem. This demand has led to the development of multiple primary, secondary and tertiary substance abuse prevention programmes. June 26, 1992 was declared by WHO as the International Day against Substance abuse and Illicit Trafficking.
