Abstract
Even though narcotic-relatedcrimes have been classified as extreme crimes, narcotics abuse in Indonesia continues to increase. Distribution of narcotics increasingly implements varied methods and there is a large circulation network.The impact of narcotics abuse not only threatens users but also threatens the hinges of socio-economic life and future of the Indonesian people.Various efforts have been made by the government of the Republic of Indonesia to overcome narcotics abuse through legislation, i.e., establishing a National Narcotics Agency (BNN), establishing bilateral cooperation with other countries, education for public awareness and other efforts.The invlovement of the community, educational institutions and social institutions is needed to help the government overcome narcotics abuse. The spiritual approach is an important part of preventing the abuse of narcotics. The role of the church is very important to provide guidance for the congregation to avoid narcotics abuse through the values found in the Bible.
