The Role of Social Policy in Combating Substance Addiction
Abstract
In this article, the role of social policy in the fight against substance abuse is discussed from a very broad approach. Substance abuse is seen as a problem that negatively affects people's physical and psychological health and threatens society as a whole. It is emphasized that social policy offers effective data in the fight against addiction through preventive education programs, family support services, youth policies and rehabilitation programs. Institutional struggle mechanisms in Türkiye have been examined and the importance of cooperation between the Green Crescent, AMATEM and social service organizations has been revealed. As a result of the research, it is concluded that effective fight against substance addiction can only be possible through holistic, rights-based and sustainable social policy.
