The agreement highlights the collaboration between the Ministry of Health and regional administrations.
The funds are divided into five key areas: Prevention (4.67 million euros), Rehabilitation and Reintegration (1.47 million euros) for individuals with legal-penal issues, the Spanish Observatory on Drugs and Addictions (1.66 million euros) for data analysis, National Strategy Development (3.86 million euros) for general expenses, and the Application of Law 17/2003 (9.6 million euros) for activities involving confiscated assets.
