State Of The Science: Extending The Benefits Of Addiction Treatment

BY: James R. McKay, Ph.D. and Deni Carise, Ph.D.

SUMMARY: The second Betty Ford Institute conference took place on October 3 and 4, 2007. The topic of this conference was continuing care and recovery management for substance use disorders. The goals of the conference were to review evidence for the effectiveness of various approaches to continuing care, discuss new approaches to the long-term management of these disorders, and develop an agenda for future research. As was the case in the first Betty Ford Institute conference, the overarching purpose of this conference was for the participants to arrive at agreement about position statements-this time regarding what is known about effective continuing care and where additional research is needed.
