The theme of this new format of addictionLEADER (AL) issue reflects new program developments at NAATP in terms of treatment research and education. In this ever-changing and ever-challenging field, there is no such thing as resting on laurels. Nowhere is this more evident than in the area of addiction treatment outcomes and measures research.
