Thank You to Our SponsorsThe White House Office of National Drug Control Policy (ONDCP), a component of the Executive Office of the President, was established by the Anti-Drug Abuse Act of 1988. The principal purpose of ONDCP is to establish policies, priorities, and objectives for the Nation's drug control program. The goals of the program are to reduce illicit drug use, manufacturing, and trafficking, drug-related crime and violence, and drug-related health consequences. To achieve these goals, the Director of ONDCP is charged with producing the National Drug Control Strategy. The Strategy directs the Nation's anti-drug efforts and establishes a program, a budget, and guidelines for cooperation among Federal, State, and local entities. NIDA's mission is to lead the Nation in bringing the power of science to bear on drug abuse and addiction. This charge has two critical components. The first is the strategic support and conduct of research across a broad range of disciplines. The second is ensuring the rapid and effective dissemination and use of the results of that research to significantly improve prevention, treatment and policy as it relates to drug abuse and addiction. National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) Phamatech was founded in 1991 by a small group of dedicated scientists and business executives. Combining clinical experience, technical expertise and sound business strategies, the company has grown steadily over the years to become a major provider of rapid medical diagnostic devices for home healthcare and clinical settings worldwide. Relying on sophisticated, state-of-the-art technologies, Phamatech has successfully developed easy-to-use test devices that provide valuable, reliable, medical information at truly affordable prices. Phamatech is committed to manufacturing products and providing services that enhance our customer's medical care, health awareness and quality of life by aiding in the early diagnosis of medical conditions in a cost-effective manner. The National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism is the primary U.S. agency for conducting and supporting research on the causes, consequences, prevention, and treatment of alcohol abuse, alcoholism, and alcohol problems and disseminates research findings to general, professional, and academic audiences. National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA) The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration's (SAMHSA's) vision as an agency of the Federal Government is "A Life in the Community for Everyone." This vision is based on the premise that people of all ages, with or at risk for mental or substance use disorders, should have the opportunity for a fulfilling life that includes a job/education, a home, and meaningful personal relationships with friends and family. SAMHSA works to achieve this vision through an action-oriented, measurable mission of "Building Resilience and Facilitating Recovery." Substanace Abuse & Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) CADCA's Mid-Year Training Institute is supported in part by several federal agencies.
