the office of national drug control policy

The 2024 National Drug Control Strategy outlines the federal government’s current approach to addressing substance use and the overdose crisis. Developed by the Office of National Drug Control Policy (ONDCP), the strategy emphasizes prevention, treatment, harm reduction, recovery support, and supply reduction.

Local governments may find this document useful for understanding how federal priorities are shaping funding opportunities, program design, and interagency coordination.
