The 2012 National Drug Control Strategy builds on the foundation laid down by the Administration’s previous two Strategies and serves as the Nation’s blueprint for reducing drug use and its consequences. Continuing the collaborative, balanced, and science-based approach, the new Strategy provides a review of the progress made over the past three years. It also looks ahead to continuing efforts to reform, rebalance, and renew the national drug control policy to address the public health and safety challenges of the 21st century.
Beyond its function as a guide for shaping Federal policy, the National Drug Control 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 who are addicted. For parents, teachers, community leaders, law enforcement officers, elected officials, ordinary citizens, and others concerned about the health and safety of young people, the Strategy is a valuable tool that not only informs but also can serve as a catalyst to spark positive change.
