Drugs are a major problem in today's society, however it would be clear carelessness to simply sit back and hope for the best. Effective measures have to be taken to counter the growing interest in drugs and their treacherous effects. Drug prevention increases awareness; a first step to recognizing how drugs aren't all about party and fun.

A quick fact about drugs: they are all toxic substances. By letting misinterpretations and lack of knowledge roam around our communities, we allow the drugs to make their way and settle themselves in the lives of those around us. Knowledge and adequate education of the seriousness and dangerous effects of drugs can help so many people understand the dark and vicious cycle they enter when using drugs. Their lives are in peril and, unfortunately, they too many times come to the brink of death before realizing the gravity of their situation. Drug prevention campaigns are an effective way to let the general public know how drugs affect the mind and body, how their effects are only temporary and eventually urge you into addiction, by a constant will to obtain more. When resorting to various different types of media, such as television, brochures and Internet, the real facts about drugs can finally be said aloud, breaking the myths usually roaming around due to the drug dealers.

Narconon is a non-profit organization present in the community through various types of activities and informational conferences. It's most acclaimed conference, All the Truth about Drugs, properly informs its audience on the simple facts of drugs.

A unique approach has been developed by Narconon to reach and inform most of its audience. The conference itself isn't based on the usual scare tactics used in many drug prevention campaigns, but rather on real life circumstances and situations. It is an interactive conference involving the audience, through several question periods and sharing of ideas. Instead of constantly pushing a message, the drug prevention animator encourages the audience to create their own opinion on the facts that they have been presented, and to realize how seriously drugs affect the body and mind.

Furthermore, Narconon also offers a free brochure, 10 Things Your Friends May Not Know About Drugs, which presents drugs in an innovative, easy-to-understand manner, that encourages prevention and refusal to peer pressure concerning drugs.
