Biden administration releases drug policy priorities for year one
On April 1, the Biden administration released its drug policy priorities for its first year. The policy priorities emphasize racial equity and expanding access to prevention, harm reduction, treatment and recovery services while reducing the supply of illicit substances. As concern grows over the COVID-19 pandemic’s long-term impacts on substance use, the administration’s first year drug policy priorities provide an indication of how the federal government will approach the overdose and addiction epidemic moving forward. The administration’s drug policy is particularly significant for counties, who invest $100 billion annually in community health systems, including behavioral health services, and play a critical role in preventing and addressing substance use issues at the local level.
