As always, the emphasis is on medical or pharmacological
interventions but that’s not because we don’t think psychological or
social interventions are important.

It’s obvious that medical treatments are usually just one component
of a comprehensive treatment package and it’s equally obvious that
many patients need psycho-social help even if their pharmacological
addiction is halted or controlled.

It’s simply that there are many conferences largely or totally
concerned with psycho-social treatments and very few that are
concerned primarily with medical ones.

And as always, our focus is on treatments, techniques and research
that seem to offer something that is both useful and relatively new
orthat involve important arguments about how best to apply these
treatments in real life.
