dc.description.abstract The researcher aimed at finding out the impact of rehabilitation measures on: reduction of criminal activities, promotion of vocational education and reduction of risky behaviours associated with youth who consume alcohol and other drugs. A sample size of 220 respondents was chosen randomly through convenience sampling technique. The study adopted descriptive research design and data was collected using self-administered questionnaires. The data was analysed using descriptive statistics. The study found out that rehabilitation measures lead to minimization of criminal activities among the youth while at the same time equipping them with skills to change their criminal behavior. Further, rehabilitation measures impacted positively on vocational education and employment related skills among the youth. Rehabilitation measures further led to reduction of drug related risks facing the youth such as health problems, infectious diseases, violence, and vandalism. The researcher recommended to the NACADA to implement projects that engaged the youth. Further, it was recommended that NACADA in collaboration with the Kenya Police needed to enhance their efforts in ensuring that the law was adhered to by all citizens. This is because the youth involved themselves in the use of drugs at the tender age of ten years, yet, rules restricted sale of alcohol and other drugs to youth under 18 years of age. en_US
