Join Dr. John F. Kelly, Elizabeth R. Spallin Professor of Psychiatry in Addiction Medicine at Harvard Medical School. Founder and Director of the Recovery Research Institute at the Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH), Associate Director of the Center for Addiction Medicine (CAM) at MGH, and the Program Director of the Addiction Recovery Management Service (ARMS), for the next virtual IAS Speaker Series event. For the past 50 years since the declaration of the war on drugs, a great deal has been learned about the etiology, epidemiology, typology, phenomenology, and acute care treatment of substance use disorders. With greater recognition that it can take many years to achieve stable remission there has been a greater recent emphasis on understanding how individuals can achieve remission and stable recovery sooner. Much of the emphasis has shifted from addressing solely clinical pathology to understanding the social determinants of recovery - often referred to as recovery capital. This talk will describe where we have come from in the past 50 years since the birth of NIAAA and NIDA, describe the new science on addiction recovery, and discuss implications for a future national research agenda.
