Opioid Addiction Prevention and Treatment Research Federal Funding to Nearly Double

April 6, 2018 by ATForum

“The National Institutes of Health will significantly boost research on addiction and opioid abuse through a near-doubling of funds, and will focus on treatment, prevention and the search for non-addictive therapies for pain.

NIH Director Dr. Francis Collins announced the initiative Wednesday morning at the National Rx Drug Abuse and Heroin Summit, which has drawn 3,000 experts in areas such as addiction, medicine, and law enforcement.
