Hillary Clinton Unveils Ambitious Plan To Combat Substance Abuse

On Wednesday, New Hampshire’s Manchester Union Leader published an op-ed by Democratic presidential front-runner Hillary Clinton that outlines her policy plan to combat the epidemic of drug and alcohol addiction:

Today I’m releasing a strategy to confront the drug and alcohol addiction crisis. My plan sets five goals: empower communities to prevent drug use among teenagers; ensure every person suffering from addiction can obtain comprehensive treatment; ensure that all first responders carry naloxone, which can stop overdoses from becoming fatal; require health care providers to receive training in recognizing substance use disorders and to consult a prescription drug monitoring program before prescribing controlled substances; and prioritize treatment over prison for low-level and nonviolent drug offenders, so we can end the era of mass incarceration.

Achieving these goals won’t be easy. It will take commitment from all corners — law enforcement, doctors, insurance companies and government at every level. That’s why my plan starts by partnering with states and communities across America to meet these goals and substantially expand access to treatment. We’ll ask states to design ambitious plans using the programs that make most sense for their communities’ needs. In return for strong proposals to address the substance abuse crisis, the federal government will draw on a new $7.5 billion fund to help states meet their goals.

Congratulations to Clinton for addressing and recognizing a big problem in America. We look forward to hearing from other candidates about how they will contest this issue. What about you? Sound off in the comments…
