Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Substance use disorders (SUDs) have posed significant public health challenges for many years. Over time, approaches to addressing these disorders have evolved from punitive measures to more compassionate, evidence-based treatments. Recognizing SUDs as chronic, treatable conditions has led to the development of more effective prevention and personalized treatment strategies.
This Special Issue seeks to explore innovative methods for preventing SUDs and tailoring treatments to individual needs. This includes evaluating the effectiveness of various prevention programs, early intervention techniques, and personalized treatment plans that consider unique circumstances and history.
Current research in this field focuses on combining behavioral therapies with pharmacological treatments, leveraging technology for remote monitoring and support, and creating personalized care plans based on genetic, psychological, and social factors, in addition to neuro-modulation techniques and the impact of community-based interventions.
In this Special Issue of the Journal of Personalized Medicine, we invite you to contribute original research articles and reviews on all aspects related to the topic at hand. Research areas of interest include (but are not limited to) the following: the use of artificial intelligence to predict relapse, the effectiveness of telehealth in delivering personalized care, and the development of new medications to manage withdrawal symptoms and cravings.
