Know the Issues

Learn more about how the Foundation tackles addiction every day by promoting policies and strategies that make population-level change—and save lives.

Promoting a life free from the chains of addiction

We’re committed to promoting big ideas that make big changes. The time for small strategies has come and gone—today’s addiction epidemic demands we do more. Our work includes civic and family engagement, systematically building and reworking existing America’s addiction policy ecosystem, and supporting institutions that prioritize ending addiction, not promoting it.

We’re promoting solutions that can make a big change.

Evidence-Based Prevention

If you don’t use drugs by age 21, you are unlikely ever to do so. That’s the power of prevention.

Treatment and Recovery for All

We need a fair, effective, and robust treatment system to help everyone who needs it- upwards of 20M Americans

International Cooperation

We can no longer ignore the role of global collaboration in disrupting drug flows.

Smart Law Enforcement

Smart criminal justice reform ensures an equitable, effective approach to dealing with the drug trade.
