In 2013, the joint Global Addiction and Europad conference focussed considerably on all aspects of Opioid addiction. For 2014, in Europe, Global Addiction will retain its focus on the impact on society of addiction, including policy initiatives targeted at dealing with the difficulties associated with addictions.
In addition, it will also include a considerable focus on the problems caused by alcohol addiction to the individual, and how to treat these. We have also seen a considerable rise in recognition and prominence of a number of so-called ‘novel’ addictions such as video game addictions, sex addiction, designer/club drugs, prescription drug addictions (eg. Opioid pain killers, sleeping pills, NSAIDS etc), gambling, cosmetic addictions (eg. amphetamine for weight loss, cosmetic surgery etc) … and submissions on these topics will be well regarded for the conference.
