Demand Reduction Strategy
.
UN Office on Drugs and Crime

United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC)

Tackling the Problem

  • Demand reduction programmes should cover all areas of prevention, from discouraging initial use to reducing the negative health and social consequences of drug abuse.

  • They should embrace information, education, public awareness, early intervention, counselling, treatment, rehabilitation, relapse prevention, aftercare and social reintegration.

  • Early help and access to services should be offered to those in need.

Focusing on Special Needs

  • Demand reduction programmes should be designed to address the needs of the population in general, as well as those of specific population groups, paying special attention to youth.

  • Programmes should be effective, relevant and accessible to those most at risk, taking into account differences in gender, culture and education.
