WASHINGTON — The White House is putting more resources into drug-use prevention and treatment, part of President Barack Obama’s pledge to treat illegal drug use more as a public-health issue than a criminal-justice problem.
The new drug-control strategy to be released today boosts community-based anti-drug programs, encourages health care providers to screen for drug problems before addiction sets in and expands treatment beyond specialty centers to mainstream health care facilities.
