National drug strategy addresses themes that include social factors

Last month's release of the 2024 National Drug Control Strategy appears to have created barely a murmur so far in the policy community — there isn't even a formal media announcement about the strategy's availability on the Office of National Drug Control Policy (ONDCP) website. Besides its usual focus on past progress and future priorities in interdiction, prevention, treatment, harm reduction and data collection, the newly published strategy addresses the broader social initiatives that can have an impact on the trajectory of addiction and recovery, from housing policy reform to job creation.
