First International Addiction Symposium
On February 28 and 29, the First International Symposium of Addiction Medicine, Neurobiology of Drug Addiction, will be held in Escazú, Costa Rica. The subject will be "The Neurobiology of Addiction to Alcohol and Other Drugs."
All presentations will be simultaneously translated in English and Spanish.
The Symposium is a collaborative project between the University of Virginia, Universidad de Ciencias Médicas (UCIMED) and Asociación Centro de Rehabilitación para el Adicto (ACERPA), as an answer to a growing concern in the health system and in society, about the prevalence of abuse and addiction to alcohol and other drugs.
The main goal of this Symposium is to transfer first line information and obtain treatment techniques for the disease of addiction, given by medical and psychology experts from the University of Virginia, University of Texas at Houston, Wake Forest University, NIDA, and NIAAA.
We will have lectures on the results of the latest research in neurobiology of alcohol and drug addiction, genetics of nicotine addiction, pharmacology and psychosocial treatment techniques based on scientific evidence.
Also, on the second day, we will have practical workshops to train the delegates on the latest treatment techniques developed and proved by experts in the addiction field.

"A study by Forrest Tennant MD selected a number of regular methadone patients who were all taking 80 mg daily and were considered unstable by clinic staff. All were found to have low or undetectable levels of methadone 24 hours after supervised dosing. Consistent with increasing blood levels, drug use outcomes improved substantially after a graduated dose increase to 100 mg/d.
This same study could apply to any patient who is using supplementary drugs. If the trough plasma level is low then a dose increase may be indicated. Doctors are familiar with a similar rationale with other drug therapies such as digoxin, lithium, or phenytoin. In these cases, what might be a lethal dose in one patient may be an inadequate dose in another.

The social transformations stemming from the development of the drug economy reveal a growth in the sectors of illegal activity and their interpenetration with the official sectors of society. They involve the law and the norms and elementary rules of economic and social organization, and they seem to be causing a far-reaching shift in the pattern of development of our societies.\
