The College on Problems of Drug Dependence (CPDD) is the oldest and largest organization in the US dedicated to advancing a scientific approach to substance use and addictive disorders. We actively promote basic scientific research in all aspects of substance abuse, and we facilitate the sharing of knowledge and new discoveries among scientists of diverse backgrounds, both nationally and internationally. We also encourage the application of scientific knowledge to developing new behavioral and pharmacological treatment therapies through collaboration among academia, private industry, and government agencies, and we help shape sensible and effective public policy by providing information and outreach to lawmakers at local, state, and national levels.
