Trump's visit was also part of her "Be Best" initiative which, according to the White House, concentrates on "three main pillars: well-being, online safety and opioid abuse."
Trump and the Director of the Office of National Drug Control Policy Director Jim Carroll are also holding a roundtable discussion on Thursday about the treatment program at the hospital.
