Trump's new addiction toolkit promotes faith and abstinence, drops harm reduction
The Trump administration unveiled a new "treatment-first" framework for addressing addiction and homelessness, boosting faith-based interventions and setting abstinence as the ultimate goal. The strategy rejects the harm reduction principles and "housing first" approach that defined the Biden administration's policy. While the toolkit allows for medicalised treatment methods, it explicitly deprioritises approaches that celebrate reduced drug use without full abstinence.
