Urban centers face daunting population challenges that have increased over the years, this cannot but be attached to the attractive opportunities for growth and revitalization that these centers provide. In addition, when nations have high level of crime, weak institutions, inadequate infrastructures and high instances of corruption, the propensity for people already on the brink of destitution to become completely incapable of sustaining themselves is significantly increased. These individuals and families rapidly migrate to cities for greater opportunities only to be employed most times in the informal sector with few rights and in some cases, without even the benefit of minimum wage protection.

Drugs and substances are tearing apart our society, sprawling crimes, spreading diseases and above all destroying our youths and our future, despite these well known risks, people continue to abuse drugs leading to destruction of individual lives and the society at large. In a strict medical sense, the word drug connotes a different meaning from that presumed by the public. To medical personnel, drug is any substance that can be used to ease or cure ill health through effective and proper use on some body tissues and organs. Since drugs have the innate ability and capacity to produce both positive and negative effects, its dosage must be carefully restricted and administered bearing in mind its consumption in high dosage that can be poisonous and detrimental to general well being.
