Trump Launches White House-Led Initiative to Coordinate Federal Addiction and Recovery Efforts

Addressing Addiction through the Great American Recovery Initiative

about 2 months ago·View on White House

Key Points

  • Trump creates a White House-led group to better coordinate the federal response to addiction and recovery.
  • The effort is co-led by the Health and Human Services Secretary and a senior recovery advisor, with leaders from health, justice, housing, labor, education, and veterans agencies.
  • The group is told to push more awareness so more people recognize addiction as a treatable disease and seek help.
  • Agencies are encouraged to line up their programs—prevention, treatment, recovery support, and re-entry—so people don’t fall through gaps between systems.
  • The order also points agencies toward using grants to support prevention, treatment, and long-term recovery, working with states, tribes, and community groups.
