Sharjah 24: Coinciding with the International Day Against Drug Abuse and Illicit Trafficking, which is observed annually on 26 June, Major Saud Al Shaiba, Head of the Awareness Section at the Security Media Department of Sharjah Police, emphasised the importance of the family's role in combating the scourge of drugs under the slogan "A Conscious Family... A Safe Society," which aims to raise community awareness of the dangers of drug abuse and support families in protecting their children.

In an awareness video published on Sharjah 24, Al Shaiba outlined the basic steps for treating addiction:

1. Recognising the problem and seeking help from the relevant authorities;

2. Evaluation and diagnosis to develop a comprehensive treatment plan;

3. Detoxification;

4. Psychotherapy and rehabilitation for social reintegration;

5. and Family support as a crucial factor in the success of treatment.

The video aims to highlight the need for collaboration between institutions and families to build a safe society through prevention and treatment.
