The National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA)

The National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) is a U.S. government agency dedicated to researching drug use and addiction. It aims to understand how drugs affect the brain and behavior, which helps develop effective prevention and treatment strategies. NIDA also provides information and resources to the public, educators, and healthcare professionals to promote awareness about drug-related issues. By studying addiction's biological, psychological, and social aspects, NIDA plays a crucial role in addressing the challenges of substance abuse and improving public health outcomes related to drugs.
