Drug Addiction Links

The Addiction Medicine Forum	Addiction Medicine Forum Interactive medical question and answer format about addiction, emphasis on smoking, drug, alcohol. Patient question is replied to by online doctors from HVMA. Extensive library and archive of articles.
	Addiction Treatment Forum Since 1992, Addiction Treatment Forum has reported on substance abuse and addiction research, therapies, news, and events of interest to both healthcare professionals and patients. Our focus has been on the science of methadone used in opioid addiction treatment, although many other treatment options and topics of concern are regularly presented.
	Addiction Recovery Institute Get & share information about heroin, other addictions & methadone maintenance. The Addiction Recovery Institute opened in Pawtucket, Rhode Island, on August 1, 1993, as a private methadone program. From the beginning, the agency's goal has been to provide a high-quality program for our patients in an environment of dignity and respect. Michael N. Hoff, M.A., who has an extensive background in both methadone and drug-free treatment, founded Addiction Recovery Institute (ARI) to combine the intensive drug-free treatment with medical intervention associated with opiate substitution therapy.
	Addiction Science Research forum & resources on the neurobiology of addiction. AddictionScience.org is a project supported by the Wheeler Center for the Neurobiology of Addiction at UCSF. Our plan is to leverage the ease of publication and communication provided by the internet to facilitate collaborative science. The field of the Neurobiology of Addiction is particularly amenable to cross-disciplinary analyses - molecular, cellular and systems neuroscientists at one end, clinicians and clinical researchers at the other. We hope that by bringing discussions and opinions from a variety of sources to an open forum, further discussions and brainstorming will ensue. Again, by bringing together a variety of resources on methods and technologies, a database of people in the field, and various learning tools we can aid in lowering the barrier to the initiation of meaningful research. Finally, a major impediment in the development of treatment for substance abuse is the lack of communication between clinicians and basic science researchers. We hope to help bridge this gap, again by facilitating communication through an open forum.
	Addiction Treatment Forum Since 1992, Addiction Treatment Forum has reported on substance abuse and addiction research, therapies, news, and events of interest to both healthcare professionals and patients. Our focus has been on the science of methadone used in opioid addiction treatment, although many other treatment options and topics of concern are regularly presented.  This Web site features the current and past issues of A.T. Forum newsletters, plus regularly updated news reports and other information, and notices of upcoming events.

	Alcohol & Drug Abuse Institute Conducting & supporting alcohol & drug abuse research & research disbursement.  Recognizing the need to address the enormous problems caused by alcohol and drug abuse, the University of Washington established the Alcohol and Drug Abuse Institute in October of 1973 as an interdisciplinary research center in the Warren G. Magnuson Health Sciences Center. From its beginning, ADAI's mission has been to conduct and support research and disseminate research findings in substance abuse.
	Alcohol & Substance Abuse MedValet/Community Outreach Health Information System (COHIS) is a project with two main goals; to promote health and disease prevention using the World-Wide-Web of the Internet and to actively involve the under-served communities around Boston in accessing this information by educating them on how to use the Web. The COHIS Committee was formed to make these goals reachable.  MedValet/COHIS can be described as a central resource for health promotion and disease prevention on the Web. It makes use of the most current technology, including, hypertext, graphics, videos, and virtual reality 3D animations, to make learning more interactive. Our primary focus is on children in their pre-teen or teenage years and by using such technology, we intend to stimulate interest in this group for education and learning. However, we are not limited to this age group since we provide information on health topics that are very important to everyone. The topics include; AIDS/HIV, Alcohol and Substance Abuse, Cancer, Cardiovascular Diseases, Environmental Hazards, Infectious Diseases, Nutrition, Partner Violence, Sexually Transmitted Diseases, Smoking and Tobacco Abuse, Teen Pregnancy/Maternal & Neonatal Health, and a special feature, Trauma and Emergency Medicine.
	Alliance Project The Alliance Project is an effort by a broad cross-section of organizations that share common concerns about the devastating disease of alcohol and drug addiction and the dramatic lack of proper public response to this growing health crisis. Despite the fact that researchers learn more each day about the strong biological and genetic roots of alcohol and drug addiction, stigma and discrimination are still very real, public policy that treats addiction equal to other major diseases is far off, and jails remain the collecting spot for many with addiction. The organizations supporting The Alliance Project believe that a stronger constituency, including an active recovery community united around a common strategy and theme, is essential to achieve enlightened understanding of alcohol and drug addiction as the health care issue it is. Public policy must also change to bring America's response to alcohol and drug addiction to a level equal to its incidence and effect on society.
	A Life Worth Living Personal story of recovery; message board; information on drugs of abuse & self-injury.

	Betty Ford Center The history of the Betty Ford Center is part of the life story of our founder, former First Lady Betty Ford. After completing her own treatment for chemical dependency at the U.S. Naval Hospital in Long Beach, Mrs. Ford talked to her friends about the need for a treatment center that emphasized the special needs of women. Her good friend, Ambassador Leonard Firestone, encouraged Mrs. Ford to pursue her dream and in 1982, they co-founded the nonprofit Betty Ford Center in Rancho Mirage, California. From its earliest days, the Betty Ford Center has treated women and men suffering from chemical dependency. The Center has always saved 50% of its space for women and 50% for men. Women and men reside in separate halls. The program lasts between 28 to 32 days. All family members are deeply affected when one family member is chemically dependent. Family members are offered support and education through our five-day Family Program. The Children's Program is for children ages 7 to 12 who are not themselves addicted, but are living with chemically dependent family members. Visit our Kids' Corner to find out more.

It was the first such Center funded by NIDA. The Center was re-funded in September of 1992 for years 6 through 8 and again in 1995 for years 9 through 11.  The overall aim of the Center for Prevention Research is to examine the interaction of biological, psychological, and social factors as they relate to the initiation and continuation of drug use and abuse, and to develop and test communication and other intervention strategies for drug abuse prevention.

	Common Sense Use of alcohol and other drugs among young people is a growing concern. Fortunately, parents can take an active role in lowering their children's risk and helping them grow up alcohol- and drug-free. To help parents learn what they can do, the National PTA has created: Common Sense: Strategies for Raising Alcohol- and Drug-Free Children.  This new area of the Children First Web site was launched in 1998 as an extension of a substance abuse prevention program sponsored by the National PTA in 1990. Since then, Common Sense has reached thousands of parents across the country. Designed primarily for parents with children in grades 3 to 6, it also offers resources for parents of younger and older children and practical ways for PTA and community leaders to share the program with parents. Common Sense focuses on four specific parenting strategies: learning the facts about alcohol and other drugs, setting clear limits for children, providing positive role models and building strong bonds within the family and school.
	Community Anti-Drug Coalitions of America CADCA's mission is to build and strengthen the capacity of community coalitions to create safe, healthy and drug-free communities.

Community coalitions-more than any other entity-are poised to connect multiple sectors of the community, including businesses, parents, media, law enforcement, schools, faith organizations, health providers, social service agencies, and the government. By acting in concert through the coalition, all of the partners gain a more complete understanding of the community's problems.
