Textbook of Addiction Treatment: International Perspectives

Abstract

The demand for drug treatment remains largely unmet. According to the World Health Organization, only 1 in 5 people who need drug treatment receives it, and there are only 1.7 treatment beds per 100,000 people. The American Academy of Psychiatrists in Alcoholism and Addictions and the Association for Medical Education and Research in Substance Abuse Consensus Standards for Postgraduate Medical Fellowships in Alcoholism and Drug Abuse call for training opportunities that help physicians learn to design, conduct, and interpret drug abuse research studies and introduce addiction specialists to the principal drug abuse research organizations. The National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) International Program fellowships are reviewed, including details about the research training and professional development opportunities provided and the career levels and citizenship requirements for applicants. The professional advantages of NIDA International Program fellowships include a global network of drug abuse scientists working collaboratively to develop, validate, and implement evidence-based treatment and prevention programs around the world.
