Penyalahgunaan narkoba menjadi ancaman serius di Kabupaten Bireuen karena letak geografisnya berada di jalur strategis Trans-Sumatera dan lintas pantai utara Aceh. Guna menekan angka kasus tersebut, Badan Narkotika Nasional Kabupaten (BNNK) Bireuen mengimplementasikan program Rencana Aksi Nasional Pencegahan dan Pemberantasan Penyalahgunaan dan Peredaran Gelap Narkotika (P4GN). Penelitian kualitatif deskriptif ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis strategi pencegahan, serta mengidentifikasi hambatan operasional pelaksanaannya di lapangan. Sediaan data riset dihimpun melalui teknik wawancara mendalam bersama pihak Kasubbag BNNK Bireuen, pelaksana petugas lapangan, Duta Anti Narkoba, mantan pengguna, dan pemuda gampong, serta didukung metode observasi direktif dan dokumentasi instansi. Pisau analisis penelitian ini murni menggunakan indikator Teori Manajemen Strategis dari Hunger dan Wheelen yang membedah empat tahapan kerja, meliputi pengamatan lingkungan, perumusan strategi, penerapan strategi, dan evaluasi strategi, serta didukung instrumen konseptual matriks SWOT. Hasil penelitian menyingkap bahwa perumusan program kerja demand reduction sudah diupayakan berjalan adaptif melalui sosialisasi gampong dan kerja sama lintas sektor. Namun, penemuan penting di lapangan menunjukkan bahwa fungsi penerapan strategi belum berjalan optimal akibat keterbatasan kuantitas personel penyuluh serta minimnya dana operasional dinas, sehingga memicu kesenjangan jangkauan program ke desa pinggiran. Selain itu, proses pengawasan juga terjebak pada formalitas administratif tanpa mengukur dampak perubahan perilaku riil masyarakat secara berkelanjutan. Oleh karena itu, sebagai saran perbaikan untuk mengantisipasi masalah sosiologis-kultural warga yang apatis dan takut melapor, BNNK Bireuen direkomendasikan melakukan reposisi strategi ke arah model pemberdayaan komunitas lokal dari bawah (bottom-up) secara konsisten dengan mengoptimalkan media sosial interaktif serta melibatkan para mantan pengguna narkoba sebagai perpanjangan tangan penyuluhan yang lebih persuasif.

Drug abuse poses a serious threat in Bireuen Regency due to its geographical location along the strategic Trans-Sumatra corridor and the northern coast of Aceh. To reduce the number of cases, the Bireuen Regency National Narcotics Agency (BNNK) is implementing the National Action Plan for the Prevention and Eradication of Drug Abuse and Illicit Drug Trafficking (P4GN). This descriptive qualitative study aims to analyze prevention strategies and identify operational barriers to their implementation in the field. Research data were collected through in-depth interviews with the Head of the Subdivision of the Bireuen BNNK, field officers, Anti-Drug Ambassadors, former users, and village youth, supplemented by directed observation and institutional documentation. The analytical framework of this study exclusively utilized the Strategic Management Theory indicators proposed by Hunger and Wheelen, which break down the process into four stages: environmental analysis, strategy formulation, strategy implementation, and strategy evaluation, supported by the SWOT matrix as a conceptual tool. The findings revealed that efforts to formulate demand reduction programs have been made to be adaptive through village outreach and cross-sectoral collaboration. However, key findings in the field indicate that the strategy implementation phase has not been optimized due to a shortage of extension workers and insufficient operational funding for the agency, resulting in gaps in program reach to outlying villages. Furthermore, the monitoring process is mired in administrative formalities without measuring the sustainable impact of real behavioral changes among the community. Therefore, as a recommendation for improvement to address the sociocultural issues of residents who are apathetic and afraid to report drug use, the Bireuen Regional Narcotics Agency (BNNK) is advised to reposition its strategy toward a consistent, bottom-up model of local community empowerment by optimizing interactive social media and involving former drug users as more persuasive extensions of the outreach efforts.
