Government has intensified its efforts to combat substance and alcohol abuse through intervention programmes in all provinces.
There are Provincial Substance Abuse Forums and Local Drug Action Committees at municipalities to enhance existing community initiatives with knowledge and skills to manage their own prevention work at grassroots level.
The committees are supported by the Central Drug Authority (CDA), which is a government body that consists of experts in medicine, law enforcement and community mobilisation.
The Department of Social Development has rehabilitation centers that are equipped with qualified professionals and resources that help alcohol and substance abuse addicts to recover and provide families much needed support.
