Through its varied activities, it has become a major influence in both the delivery of substance-abuse treatment services and of good working practices within those services. It has been, and continues to be, instrumental in the harmonization of different therapeutic treatment approaches which have traditionally generated a polarisation of views and a lack of cooperation among proponents of those approaches. There are a variety of information sources available on Addiction Today website such as articles, treatment directory, training, book reviews, job online, events listings, and more….
