The roles carried out by the Central Java BNNP so far are using three categories, namely Prevention, Eradication and Rehabilitation. The obstacles and constraints faced by the National Narcotics Agency of Central Java Province in dealing with drug abuse include the large number of black markets that distribute drugs.

Especially ordinary people, because the Central Java BNNP is the country's main weapon in breaking the chain of drug distribution. People should start to realize that using drugs is not very good for the body. Be it medication from a doctor's prescription or other medicines, people should start to realize the importance of a sense of shared responsibility, meaning that if there are friends or family who consume drugs, they should report it.
