teams. Teams elected reputable people as their heads who are
responsible for knowing well local social security and order and then informing
them to households. Together with team members, they visit each family to talk
about the harmful effects of drugs and encourage drug addicts to undergo
rehabilitation or use methadone as an alternative treatment.

people stay united to safeguard national security”, "All people stay united to
build cultural lives” are closely combined together. As drug prevention and
