Consultation for the National Drug Control Strategy The Office of National Drug Control Policy is statutorily required to consult with and solicit input for the National Drug Control Strategy from a variety of parties affected by federal drug policy, including federal agencies and departments charged with carrying out these policies, members of Congress and congressional committees, states, local, Tribal, and territorial governments, nongovernmental organizations and community activists, and foreign governments, among others. « « « « « « 16 NATIONAL DRUG CONTROL STRATEGY The consultation process for the 2022 National Drug Control Strategy began in May 2021 and ONDCP received significant input from a wide range of interested parties. While the COVID-19 pandemic prevented in-person consultation in communities across the Nation as was done in years past, ONDCP held virtual meetings and received written input from the individual National Drug Control Program agencies while developing this Strategy. Following publication, ONDCP will lead the interagency process to implement this Strategy. Thank you to all partners who provided input for the Biden-Harris Administration’s inaugural Strategy, and thank you for your commitment to addressing addiction and the overdose epidemic. *** Addiction and the overdose epidemic are urgent issues facing the Nation. Our country has never seen substance use disorder cause such devastation, and the Biden-Harris Administration is determined to stop it. An overdose is a cry for help and for too many people that cry goes unanswered. With this National Drug Control Strategy, the Biden-Harris Administration is working to ensure these cries are not just heard but answered as well. This vision for the United States’ drug policy is based on science, evidence, and the best data available. Saving lives is our North Star, and this Strategy supports this goal on every page. « « « « « « NATIONAL DRUG CONTROL STRATEGY 17 Prevention and Early Intervention Adolescence is a critical risk period for substance use initiation and adverse outcomes related to substance use.
