Clinton offered to allocate $ 7,5 billion to fight drug addiction

US presidential candidate from the Democratic Party, Hillary Clinton, in her article in the New Hampshire newspaper Manchester Union Leader presented a plan to combat drug and alcohol addiction in the United States.

Clinton listed five tasks, including: creating social mechanisms for preventing adolescent addiction among adolescents and ensuring access to treatment for addiction for all those in need.

To solve these problems, Clinton proposes to allocate billions of dollars from the federal budget 7,5.

“23 of a million Americans suffer from dependence, but only one out of ten receives treatment,” she wrote in an article that was published on the newspaper’s website on Tuesday.

The leading Democratic candidate in the 2016 election of the year said she wanted to make treatment the preferred option of punishment in cases of non-violent drug-related crimes in order to end the era of “mass imprisonment”.

In his plan, Clinton also proposes to improve the training of health care workers so that they can better recognize diseases caused by drug use, and require first aid services to carry naloxone, a drug that mitigates the effects of opiate overdose.

According to opinion polls, conducted by CNN in conjunction with the research agency ORC International, the support of the most likely Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton reaches the 51 percent.

At the same time, its Republican competitor Donald Trump is popular with 46 percent of voters.
