The Institute for Research, Education and Training in Addictions (IRETA), which houses the Northeast ATTC, announces the creation of a Recovery Research Center, located in Pittsburgh, whose mission is “to build a science of recovery from addiction.” Under the leadership of Alexandre Laudet, Ph.D., an internationally-recognized addiction recovery researcher, the Center will examine how people attain and sustain recovery from addiction, a topic still in need of scientific scrutiny and better understanding. Says Laudet, “We know how to get people to stop drugs or alcohol for a short time to satisfy a legal or immediate requirement; what we need to learn is how to sustain an individual in recovery and give him or her tools to heal.” Through the Center, Laudet and IRETA will conduct and disseminate the science of recovery with the goal of changing available treatment services into a more recovery-focused system of care.
