About - Drug Free America Foundation

Our Vision

A world where all people live free of the burden and impact of drug use.

Drug Free America Foundation (DFAF) is dedicated to tackling the pervasive issue of substance use and its far-reaching impacts on individuals, families, and communities. Substance use leads to significant health, social, and economic problems, including substance use disorders, mental health disorders, crime, and reduced productivity. Despite various efforts, many communities lack the resources and education necessary to effectively prevent and treat substance use disorders. DFAF aims to fill this gap by providing comprehensive educational campaigns, professional development, and advocacy to promote prevention, treatment, and recovery at local and global levels. By addressing these critical issues, DFAF strives to build healthier, safer communities and influence sound drug policies worldwide.
