The new programme will be implemented in the following fields:

Prevention
The primary objective will be the reduction of drug demand. Although survey results show stabilization of the trend or even a drop in drug use prevalence among youth there is still a lot of young people who decide to use drugs for the first time in their lives.

Treatment, rehabilitation, harm reduction and social reintegration
In treatment the main objective will be the improvement of the quality of life of harmful drug users and drug dependent individuals. One of the major tasks will be the professionalization of drug treatment programmes, better access to treatment, development of harm reduction programmes, reducing homelessness and unemployment among harmful drug users and drug dependent individuals. The programme also involves in these actions local governments: communes and Marshal Offices.

Supply reduction
The primary objective will be the reduction of manufacture, trade and availability of narcotic drugs and psychotropic substances. Poland is one of the chief manufacturers of amphetamine. Our country is also crisscrossed by major drug trafficking routes. The Programme will aim at detecting illegal cannabis plantations grown by organized crime groups and combating money laundering. Actions will be taken to reduce drug-related crime on the Internet.

International cooperation
Strengthening the position of Poland on the international arena will serve domestic actions. Our country will participate in the works of EU institutions concerned with the reduction of drug supply and demand. We also plan bilateral cooperation with third countries. Poland will provide support for Russia, the Ukraine and Belarus so that their actions to combat drug supply and demand will be more effective.

Research and monitoring
The main aim is the support for the implementation of the programme. The Programme includes monitoring the epidemiological situation; assessment of institutional and social attitudes towards drugs and drug addiction; development and consolidation of the information system on psychoactive substances and substitute drugs. The implementation of these tasks will provide room for planning effective and rational actions, e.g. social campaigns and modifying the existing policy. It will also be possible to evaluate the effectiveness of spending. Monitoring will also cover the market of new psychoactive substances, including legal highs.

The total of PLN 293 627 808 will be allocated from the state budget for the programme implementation in the years 2011-2016.
