Introduction. The current situation in the Russian Federation in the field of illicit trafficking and illegal consumption of narcotic drugs, as well as psychotropic substances, poses a serious threat to public health, the country’s economy, law and order, and state security. To date, there are problems both in the legislative framework related to the fight against drugs, and in the educational process of institutions of learning. In this regard, it is necessary to name the purpose of the study, which is to take urgent measures aimed at improving preventive work with young people. Methods. The study is based on such methods as logical, systematic, formal-legal, as well as the methods of analysis, synthesis and other methods of scientific knowledge. Results. On the basis of the study, it is revealed that to combat drug addiction among young people, it is necessary to form strategic directions for the prevention both in the legislative framework related to the fight against drugs and in the bringing-up process of educational organizations.
