Based on the result of FGD is was found that they able to to improve team capacity in preventing drug abuse, assessment drug abuse problems, made  of prevention drugs abuse problems to solve their problems and implementation of monitoring and  evaluating of their programme.    But on other hand,   they need to improve regularly their knowledge of  the kind of drugs, how to prevent and how the impact of drugs influence to the health.
