Abstract | Substance abuse is a global challenge that affects not only the user but the greater society. South Africa is no exception, as it is reported that 15% of the population abuse substances. As a complex phenomenon, I believe it needs an integrated approach to ensure the maximum impact. Social workers are confronted with substance abuse and its effects daily and we are expected to deal with a plethora of problems associated it. There seem to be a misalignment/disjuncture between the increased intervention against drug abuse and the increasing prominence of the drug problem in South Africa. This calls for a multi sectoral approach in order to effectively deal with substance abuse in South Africa. An ecological approach guide by programme theory will best explain how the different systems can be coordinated to effectively deal with substance abuse. |
