Addiction Studies
Addiction Studies is a multidisciplinary field that explores the causes, consequences, prevention, and treatment of substance use disorders and behavioral addictions. Drawing from psychology, psychiatry, neuroscience, public health, and sociology, this area of study examines how genetic, environmental, and psychological factors contribute to the development of addiction. It also addresses the profound impact of addiction on individuals, families, and society. Through clinical research and evidence-based interventions, Addiction Studies aims to improve diagnostic accuracy, enhance treatment strategies, and support long-term recovery. With the global rise in substance misuse and the emergence of new addictive behaviors, continued research in this field is critical to inform policy, reduce stigma, and promote effective rehabilitation and prevention efforts.
