Glue it back on with carpenters glue and clamp in place till dry, or take the drawer out and position with the face up and put some heavy cans on it until it dries.
Then you can add a couple small screws from behind to ensure it stays on.

If there is a front face and an internal drawer front, then you can just add a couple of wood screws through the drawer front and into the drawer face. Ensure the screws won't go through the front. Pilot holes will help the screws drive in easily. The front can be held in place before screwing by using double sided tape or use clamps.
If the drawer front is part of the drawer case, then you will need to glue and clamp it to the sides.

Wood glue, line it up, clamp or tape in place. Screw from the inside of the drawer.
Liquid nails might help you re-attach it.
Years ago when I was renting I used a hot glue gun to reattach the door. Not the best method but if was fast and cheap. Best of all it lasted the entire time I lived there. You could add a few finishing nails for added security.
Hi Sharon, this should hopefully help you out!
