Relevant literature were reviewed on prior knowledge, perception, psychoactive substance abuse, psychoactive substance abuse information, research paradigm, social construction of reality, Chatman’s theory of normative behaviour, previous studies that adopted theory of normative behavior.In order to have answers to the research questions raised, qualitative research methodology was adopted to answer the research questions through Snowball sampling techniques and face – to – face in-depth interview with 10 ex-rehabilitated Drug addicts in Sabon Gari metropolitan area of Kaduna state.

Furthermore, some of the Drug addicts abuse were of the belief that the information was irrelevant to them because, there are instances in the data collected that indicates Drug addicts complains about how NDLEA officers treat them during their arrest and how they perceive NDLEA as corrupt agency which literally leads to negative perception about the information. The study concluded that there is a critical need for the management of NDLEA to be frequently and regularly train their staff on how to develop good relationship with the arrested and detained Drug Addicts under their custody.
