N2  - The National Drug Control Strategy is designed to address all aspects of drug abuse: drug use, drug trafficking, and drug-related crimes. The nine-pronged program encompasses efforts at the federal, state, and local levels, forming a partnership between government and the private and public sectors. The strategy includes prevention initiatives that reduce the demand for drugs; individualized treatment programs for high-risk groups; greater community policing efforts to reduce violent crimes by drug users and pushers; and education aimed at children and adults. It is a national strategy that strives to find solutions at the local level.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>
