The National Alliance for Model State Drug Laws (NAMSDL) is a United States–based nonprofit organization focused on developing and promoting comprehensive, integrative model laws, policies, and programs addressing drug and alcohol issues. Established as a 501(c)(3) entity, it serves as a resource for states seeking effective legal frameworks and policy approaches in the areas of substance use and related services. With a small organizational footprint, NAMSDL operates within the broader individual and family services sector, aiming to influence state-level decision making through model legislation and policy guidance.

NAMSDL’s work targets policymakers, practitioners, and stakeholders involved in substance use and prevention efforts, offering policy models and program concepts designed to improve outcomes in state systems. The organization is positioned within the policy and advocacy segment of the substance use field, seeking to standardize and enhance state responses to drug and alcohol challenges. A recent development noted in news indicates that NAMSDL was acquired by Better Addiction Care, reflecting a notable change in its organizational alignment while continuing to address its core mission in model state laws and policies.
