The Office of National Drug Control Policy (ONDCP) seeks to "restore balance to U.S. drug-control efforts" through "a renewed emphasis on community-based prevention programs" and "early intervention programs in healthcare settings." With the recent press coverage of historically high incarceration rates, especially for non-violent drug offenders, the center seems especially relevant, and its site is loaded with resources for readers interested in the government's role in combatting drug use and addiction. The site is divided into sections on Policy & Research, Treatment & Recovery, Enforcement, and other topics. Readers may want to begin with the Blog, which breaks complex issues into readable pieces. Recent entries have discussed drug policy reform, alternatives to incarceration for drug offenders, and community policing.
