But the announcement of the Great American Recovery Initiative, as the program is known, was light on details. During an Oval Office signing ceremony, Trump unveiled an executive order that frames addiction as a chronic, treatable disease and pledged to coordinate the federal government’s addiction efforts. “This initiative represents a fundamental shift from reaction to prevention, from fragmentation to coordination, from stigma to science, from short-term fixes to long-term recovery,” Burgum said. The Office of National Drug Control Policy, an office within the White House established in 1989, already has a mandate almost identical to the one Burgum articulated. This initiative fixes that.”Kennedy said more “major announcements” on addiction and recovery were coming next week.
