Institute for Behavior and Health

The Institute for Behavior and Health (IBH) is a non-profit research and policy organization focused on reducing drug use and addiction. Established in 1978 by Dr. Robert L. DuPont, the first Director of the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), IBH develops and promotes innovative strategies for drug prevention, treatment, and recovery. The organization is well-known for its 'One Choice' initiative, which encourages youth to avoid all alcohol, nicotine, and other drugs for health. IBH also conducts significant work in the areas of drugged driving policy and the 'New Paradigm' for long-term recovery management. It serves as a resource for policymakers and healthcare leaders seeking evidence-based solutions to the drug epidemic.
