Appalachia HIDTA

HIDTA Programs across the country focus on reducing drug trafficking and its harmful consequences, particularly drug abuse and drug-related crime. HIDTA programs invest in federal, state, and local partnerships to build safe and healthy communities. Each HIDTA serves as a force-multiplier in their region, leveraging resources and joining agencies toward a common goal. Five HIDTAs spanning Appalachia, the Mid-Atlantic, and the Northeast developed the Heroin Response Strategy (HRS) to address the severe heroin threat in their communities.
