I. Introduction to National Service Training Program

Introduction to NSTP

It is the policy of the State to safeguard the integrity of its territory

and the wellbeing of its citizenry particularly the youth, from the harmful effects of
dangerous drugs on their physical and mental well-being, and to defend the same
against acts or omissions detrimental to their development and preservation.
In view of the foregoing, the State needs to enhance further the efficacy of the
law against dangerous drugs, it being one of today's more serious social ills.

Toward this end, the government shall pursue an intensive and

unrelenting campaign against the trafficking and use of dangerous drugs and other
similar substances through an integrated system of planning,
implementation and enforcement of anti-drug abuse policies, programs, and
projects. The government shall however aim to achieve a balance in the
national drug control program so that people with legitimate medical needs are
not prevented from being treated with adequate amounts of appropriate
medications, which include the use of dangerous drugs.

It is further declared the policy of the State to provide effective

mechanisms or measures to re-integrate into society individuals who have fallen
victims to drug abuse or dangerous drug dependence through sustainable
programs of treatment and rehabilitation.
