Published: 2019-04-24

Abstract

Addiction jeopardizes the health and well-being individuals, families, communities, even society itself. Yet there is no consensus within the addiction community about what constitutes good treatment. Perhaps this problem helps explain why 90% of individuals with addiction receive no treatment. How well do you understand the nature of addiction today; recognize the complexity of the addiction service system; employ evidenced-based treatment competencies; and care for individuals with addiction with compassion and commitment?
