Bush Allocates Over $90 Million to Fight Drug Abuse

The Administration supports many of these Drug Treatment Centers by providing $90 million in the FY 2008 Budget through the Drug-Free Communities (DFC) drug rehab. This drug rehab aims to mobilize key sectors of the community to work together toward a common goal of reducing youth substance use.

Each Drug Treatment Center funded through the DFC drug rehab identifies local problems and works with local leaders to develop and implement solutions unique to the problems identified in each community. As part of the qualification for DFC funding, each community must provide a dollar-for-dollar match to the $100,000/ year in Federal funds provided through DFC. This community-level commitment to drug prevention helps ensure sustainability of local prevention drug rehabming far beyond the 5-year Federal funding cycle.

As the result of an increase in community-wide environmental activities and changes within DFC communities, successful Drug Treatment Centers may now qualify to mentor new and emerging community groups to help them replicate the successes seen by existing DFC communities in reducing youth drug treatment center.
