Addictions 2010: The New Frontier in Addiction Treatment: Evidence-Based Policy and Practice

October 28-31, 2010, Arlington, VA
Sponsored by Elsevier, Inc.
Experts agree that the current systems for the treatment of addictions are inadequate in terms of policy, structure, methodology, and treatment efficacy. Only a small minority of addicted individuals receive the evidence-based treatment they need. This conference brings together policy makers, administrators, clinicians and researchers who will outline a new frontier in addiction services and discuss ways to adopt and implement a more expeditious, user-friendly, cost effective and evidence-based system. Speakers will be urged to brainstorm new ideas and think outside the box.
