“The Great American Recovery Initiative will bring together federal, state, local and private sector resources to support addiction recovery, treatment and prevention, and it will help mobilize the full resources and authority of the federal government to help stop this tremendous plague,” the president said. According to a White House fact sheet, the order establishes a “White House Great American Recovery Initiative,” which will advise federal agencies on directing grants to support addiction recovery and increasing awareness around drug dependence, while guiding departments on integrating programmes focused on prevention, early intervention, treatment, recovery support and re-entry. The initiative will be co-chaired by Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Kathryn Burgum, the spouse of Interior Secretary Doug Burgum. A White House official said Kathryn Burgum, who has spoken publicly about her own recovery journey, was expected to attend Trump’s announcement of the programme. The administration said the initiative forms part of broader efforts to coordinate resources nationwide and strengthen public health responses, alongside a wider White House campaign targeting alleged drug trafficking networks in the Caribbean and eastern Pacific.
