This report contains the proceedings of the 1995 ONDCP (Office of National Drug Control Policy) International Workshop on Drug Abuse Treatment Technology, held in Baltimore, MD, August 15-16, 1995.
Abstract
The workshop was organized to promote the exchange of technical information on current issues and developing opportunities in advancing technologies for drug abuse treatment and prevention. Attendees were drawn from the demand reduction, drug abuse treatment, and associated law enforcement communities. An Innovative Treatment Approaches panel focused on current and emerging developments in drug immunization and treatment research and applications within the criminal justice processes, and also discussed related medical, legal, and ethical issues. The Drug Testing/Monitoring Technology panel considered current and emerging developments for the noninvasive detection of illicit drug use through analysis of hair, sweat, urine and saliva, and reviewed several field testing activities. These proceedings contain the record of the technical presentations. Figures, references, appendixes
