Report To The Congress


OF THE UNITED STATES


Action Needed To Improve Management

And Effectiveness Of

Drug Abuse Treatment



Cutting across racial, cultural, social, and eco-
nomic lines, drug abuse is estimated to cost
society about $10 billion a year. An essential
part of the Federal strategy to prevent and
control this abuse is the treatment of abusers.
Nationwide, about $518 million is spent
annually to treat drug abusers, with over
$130 million coming from HEW's National
Institute on Drug Abuse.

This report identifies a number of program pol-
icies and management problems that operated
as disincentives to providing adequate treat-
ment to the greatest number of drug abusers.
GAO makes a number of recommendations to
HEW to improve program management.
