# National Drug Control Strategy

The National Drug Control Strategy outlines our efforts to reduce illicit drug use and its consequences in the United States. Science has shown that a substance use disorder is not a moral failing but rather a disease of the brain that can be prevented and treated. Informed by this basic understanding, the annual *Strategies* that followed have promoted a balance of evidence-based public health and safety initiatives, including:
            - 		Preventing drug use in our communities;
            - 		Seeking early intervention opportunities in health care;
            - 		Integrating treatment for substance use disorders into health care and supporting recovery;
            - 		Breaking the cycle of drug use, crime, and incarceration;
            - 		Disrupting domestic drug trafficking and production;
            - 		Strengthening international partnerships; and
            - 		Improving information systems to better address drug use and its consequences.

The *Strategy* emphasizes the Administration’s commitment to confronting the prescription drug misuse and heroin epidemic. Beyond its function as a guide for shaping drug policy, the *Strategy* is a useful resource for anyone interested in learning what is being done—and what other work can be done— to stop drug production and trafficking, prevent drug use, and provide care for those with substance use disorders. For parents, teachers, community leaders, law enforcement officers, elected officials, ordinary citizens, and others concerned about the health and safety of our young people, the *Strategy* is a valuable tool that not only informs but also can serve as a catalyst to spark positive change.
