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.

In 2018, 83 percent of households in Mai Ha won the title of civilized families while four out of five hamlets became cultural residential areas.
