Psychosocial Treatment Drug addiction exacts a
tremendous toll on individuals and society. Our scientists are
engaged in the development and evaluation of approaches to
increase entry and engagement in addiction treatment and to
improve outcomes for patients enrolled in such treatment.
Typically, the effectiveness of different psychosocial
strategies is determined through the use of randomized clinical
trials. Additionally, our scientists conduct longitudinal
outcome studies using both quantitative and ethnographic
approaches in order to discover ways of improving existing
treatments. These two methods provide insight into what works
and why it works and enable treatment providers and policymakers
to improve treatment systems and to reduce the harmful impact
addiction has on individuals, families and society.
