To combat the devastating impact of substance misuse, the Kahlert Institute for Addiction Medicine is leveraging the most advanced research and clinical care with the goal of overcoming addiction. In confronting this generational challenge, our work seeks to transform addiction research, prevention, treatment and education across Maryland.
The Kahlert Institute for Addiction Medicine brings together leading addiction experts to collaborate and create the synergy necessary for systemic change. University of Maryland School of Medicine faculty scientists serve as an integral part of the Institute. They include neuroscientists studying the brain mechanisms underlying addictions and physician educators working to train a new generation of medical students and residents. They also include clinicians providing a continuum of addiction care with evidence-based harm reduction measures that minimize the negative consequences of drug use on a patient’s overall health.
