Policy

Effective substance use policies aim to reduce health and social harms, ensure access to prevention and treatment services, regulate controlled substances, and disrupt illicit drug markets. They are typically informed by scientific evidence, public health principles, and cross-sector collaboration to promote safer and healthier communities.
