When you have a President, Vice President and HHS Secretary that has been touched by addiction you have an Administration that cares.
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. says the Trump administration’s Great American Recovery Plan is built around a simple idea: addiction isn’t just a medical issue—it’s a disease of isolation. The plan includes a $100 million investment aimed at addressing opioid addiction, homelessness, and public safety through a new framework called STREETS, which focuses on recovery, community engagement, and evidence-based treatment. Kennedy criticized the current system as fragmented and incentive-driven, arguing that repeated relapse often benefits institutions more than patients. Instead, the new approach emphasizes reconnecting people to families, communities, and early intervention—especially for at-risk children—before addiction becomes entrenched. The goal, he said, is to shift recovery away from revolving-door treatment and toward long-term stability.
