The present article provides a description of some of the principles that are considered by Baha'i communities in developing programmes for the prevention of drug abuse that target the individual, the family and society. The individual is helped to develop a sense of purpose, a feeling of self-esteem and respect for others, a state of maturity making it possible for him or her to evaluate circumstances objectively and to postpone immediate gratification for a future goal, a feeling of responsibility, and spiritual orientation, which can help the individual to develop positive attitudes towards himself or herself and the environment. Parents are encouraged to promote love and unity, as well as a drug-free lifestyle, so that children are provided with healthy models. The family experience is also intended to help children to cope with stress and other problems of daily life. By means of education, society at large is encouraged to adopt positive attitudes towards health and to promote activities that lead to the elimination of isolation.
本文介绍了巴哈伊社区在制定针对个人、家庭和社会的预防药物滥用计划时所考虑的一些原则。帮助个人培养目标感、自尊感和对他人的尊重，达到一种成熟状态，使他或她能够客观地评估情况，并为了未来目标推迟即时满足，培养责任感和精神导向，这有助于个人对自己和环境形成积极的态度。鼓励父母促进爱与团结以及无毒品的生活方式，以便为孩子提供健康的榜样。家庭体验还有助于孩子应对压力和日常生活中的其他问题。通过教育，鼓励整个社会对健康采取积极态度，并促进开展有助于消除孤立的活动。
