Meeting Summary

2004 Meeting Overview:

The Blending Clinical Practice and Research: Forging Partnerships in the Great Lakes Region to Enhance Drug Addiction Treatment Meeting, held on September 27-28, 2004 in Detroit, Michigan, was presented by the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) and the Great Lakes Regional Node of the Clinical Trials Network (CTN) at Wayne State University, in conjunction with:

  • University of Michigan Addiction Research Center and Substance Abuse Section, Department of Psychiatry
  • Michigan State University
  • Michigan Office of Drug Control Policy, Department of Community Health
  • The City of Detroit
  • Great Lakes Addiction Technology Transfer Center
  • Psychiatry and Behavioral Medicine Professionals
  • Gateway Community Health

The conference brought together a variety of professionals and practitioners interested in the field of drug abuse and addiction medicine. It presented a great forum for individuals to discuss and explore current research, both through plenary presentations and interactive workshops.

The format consisted of two plenary presentations, covering the following topics:

  • Progress in Translating Drug Abuse Research into Clinical Practice - Nora D. Volkow, Ph.D.
  • Disease Management: Addiction as a Chronic Relapsing Disease - Thomas Carli, M.D.

The Eileen Pencer Memorial Lecture was delivered by Lawrence S. Brown, Jr., M.D., M.P.H., FASAM. The goal was to examine the application of science to clinical care, by reviewing what we have learned from current research, considerations for putting research to actual use, and steps for future research in the field.

This year also featured a panel discussion on Issues of Race and Ethnicity in Substance Abuse Treatment, which discussed the challenge of bringing empirically supported interventions to racial/ethnic minority clients in drug abuse treatment practice settings.
