There are only "drug addicts".
There are no "drug victims" unless you are speaking about the family and friends of "drug addicts" or victims of the violence that surrounds the black-market of all criminalized or "prohibited" substances. The context of your question leads me to believe you are not speaking about these people.
"Drug addicts" actively made a choice to use a known addictive substance. Ignorance of the addictive qualities of certain drugs is no excuse.
If a "drug addict" can accept that they have made an error and want to seek help, then they have a chance of leading a normal life, but as long as they continue to blame an inanimate substance, there is little hope for "recovery".

Yeah. Stay away from people. Especially the ones who are still using. The problem is that so many people are using drugs in one form or another, that it really is hard to find people who are 100% drug & alcohol free! Those of us who have used have a heightened awareness of life & this makes living in the world without drugs in our systems a bit of a pain, to say the least! When people make a decision not to use, then nothing can take them back to drugs or alcohol except their own actions!

Drugs were always part of human society, and will always be a part of human civilization. There is no way to stop drug use, as the failed 'War on Drugs' has proved.
Some "drug victims" are just people who have taken drug use to the extreme. Most drugs are safe when used in reasonable amounts, but when taken daily or overdosed, can prove to be a problem.
Persons addicted to drugs can either go to a clinic for drug treatment or just gather the will power to fight through the withdrawal and the thoughts of using drugs. Drugs are very fun and pleasant, so even if the person isn't 'addicted', the urge to use drugs always remains. Basically, once you try a drug, it is so great and intense, you want to keep using it, but that is what seperates the addicts from the recreational users.
The recreational user knows a drug makes you feel great and uses the drug wisely. On the other hand, the addict is a person who felt the drug and let that extremely great feeling of the drug take his or her life over.
It comes down to accepting that the drug is pleasurable, but only when used correctly. You can't let the drug control you, you must control the drug. It is necessary to become self-aware and self-conscious and ask yourself if you want to live life dependant on drugs, or just live life responsibly with responsible drug use, not chronic drug use that ruins your life.

Drugs Victims?
Do you mean someone that is addicted to drugs or some one that has had their life affected by another's drug use?
Either way, their are in-patient and out-patient treatment centers for both. Their are also lots of support groups.
Look in your phone book for both.

I don't believe there is any ONE best solution for a "drug victim" to make their life better. It takes more than one avenue of approach to abstain from some drugs on the street.
Families need to pull together and provide comfort, strength, courage, and support!
Neighbors need to report suspicious activities that draw drug dealers to the area.
Churches need to reach out to the community to "raise the village."
Schools need to provide current and up to date information concerning illegal drug use and the effects of drug abuse.
The term "war on drugs" is outdated and should more appropriately be referred to as "a cancer on society."
Just my humble opinion!
