NH Governor’s Commission on Alcohol and Other Drugs
YOUR VOICE MATTERS: Give Your Thoughts on NH Alcohol & Drug Use Priorities
The Governor’s Commission on Alcohol and Other Drugs (the Commission) is seeking input from NH residents to help inform funding decisions and priorities within the State Action Plan to address alcohol and other substance use disorder (SUD) issues in NH. The Commission is providing NH citizens with four opportunities to let their voices be heard.
The Commission advises the Governor and the Legislature on policies and funding related to the substance use disorder Continuum of Care: Prevention, Harm Reduction, Treatment, and Recovery. Working alongside the NH DHHS/Bureau for Alcohol and Drugs (BDAS), the Commission also makes recommendations on and oversees the investment of “the Alcohol Fund,” 5% of gross profits from NH liquor sales, which supports critical work across the state to help support youth, adults, and families who are struggling with and/or at risk for substance use disorders.
Help prioritize funding for the strategies in the State Action Plan through one of the following:

The mission of the NH Governor’s Commission on Alcohol and Other Drugs is to significantly reduce alcohol and other drug problems and their behavioral, health and social consequences for the citizens of New Hampshire by advising the Governor and Legislature regarding the delivery of effective and coordinated substance misuse prevention, treatment, and recovery services throughout the state.
