Austin FraktI need to keep track of the following so I can come back to it. Maybe it is of use to others.
I asked the U.S. Office of National Drug Control Policy (ONDCP) for information on public spending for drug use treatment and prevention. Here is the (slightly edited) reply:
You can view information about the amount of Federal funds allotted for drug treatment programs in the ONDCP annual Budget Summary report. The most recent Budget Summary reports are available at http://www.whitehousedrugpolicy.gov/policy/budget.html.
The following reports provide information about the amount of money spent on treatment:
Inventory of State Substance Abuse Prevention and Treatment Activities and Expenditures Office of National Drug Control Policy, 2006: http://www.ncjrs.gov/ondcppubs/publications/inventory/index.html
