Abstract:

According to the World Drug Report (2018) the scope of drugs
and drug markets are increasing and spreading globally. The
international community needs to step up its responses to
cope with these challenges. Members of IntNSA, representing
Australia, England, Portugal, and the United States, will
come together to share their experience of the similarities
and differences between their countries that impact on the
successes/failures related to substance use disorders. Topics
covered will include historical perspectives, access to care, harm
reduction approaches, treatment modalities, impact of COVID
19, among others. As this workshop will be online topics will be
divided into ‘learning units’ of 1.5 hours in duration. An opportunity
for participants to take “comfort breaks” of 30 mins in between
each unit of learning will be provided.
