The ORS program exemplifies public health and public safety collaboration at the federal level. This is demonstrated by the continued investment and support of the program from our core partners: CDC, ONDCP, the HIDTA Program and the CDC Foundation.
These four partners serve as the backbone of the ORS program. Their investments have been critical in creating the program structure and governance needed to achieve long-term success and sustainability.
Partners at the federal, state, local, tribal and territorial levels focus on reducing fatal and non-fatal drug overdoses and related harms. These efforts are accomplished through:
who we are
Public health’s unique population-level approach necessitates working across sectors to effectively leverage data, prevent illness and injury, and address cultural, social and environmental factors driving health crises. CDC continues to build multidisciplinary partnerships through public health and public safety collaborations to reduce drug overdoses. These collaborations enable effective implementation of evidence-based, overdose prevention strategies and advance promising practices in community settings. Public safety collaborations can provide overdose prevention services and resources throughout the criminal-legal system and, by partnering with local community organizations, enhance outreach and link individuals to substance use disorder treatment and recovery support services.
who we are
ONDCP leads and coordinates the nation’s drug policy so that it improves the health and lives of the American people. ONDCP is responsible for the development and implementation of the National Drug Control Strategy and Budget. ONDCP coordinates across federal agencies and oversees a $41 billion budget as part of a whole-of-government approach to addressing addiction and the overdose epidemic. ONDCP also provides hundreds of millions of dollars to help communities stay healthy and safe through the High Intensity Drug Trafficking Areas Program and the Drug-Free Communities Program.
