<p>Website Outlines Details of New U.S. Drug Policy Strategy;
Features Interactive Content Highlighting Unprecedented Actions Proposed
by Administration to Treat Drug Addiction as Public Health Issue, Not
Just a Criminal Justice Issue </p>
<p>(Washington, DC) - Today, the Office of National Drug Control Policy
(ONDCP) launched a new Spanish language website detailing information
regarding the 2013 National Drug Control Strategy, the Obama
Administration’s primary blueprint for drug policy in the United States.
The new web site is modeled on an innovative, vertical storytelling
platform that features compelling visual content, interactive features
and fully integrated social media sharing components. </p>
<p> “Drug use and its consequences touch every sector of our society,”
said Gil Kerlikowske National Drug Control Policy Director Gil
Kerlikowske. “As part of our commitment to being the most open and
transparent Administration in history we are pleased to be able to offer
details of President Obama’s drug policy reform plan in Spanish to
ensure accessibility to Spanish speaking Americans and our partners
throughout the hemisphere.” </p>
<p>The Obama Administration’s science-based plan for reform contains a
series of over 100 specific actions to reduce drug use and its
consequences and expand prevention, treatment, and alternatives to
incarceration. The programs and policy reforms set forth in the 2013
Strategy are built upon decades of scientific research demonstrating
that addiction is a chronic disease of the brain that can be
successfully prevented and treated, not a moral failure on the part of
the individual. The Strategy directs Federal agencies to expand
community-based efforts to prevent drug use before it begins, empower
healthcare workers to intervene early at the first signs of a substance
use disorder, expand access to treatment for those who need it, support
the millions of Americans in recovery, and the expansion of “smart on
crime” approaches to drug enforcement.</p>
