From fundamental research to industrial translation — WCAM 2027 invites original contributions across the full breadth of addiction medicine.
The fourth wave of the overdose crisis — driven by illicitly manufactured fentanyl, fentanyl analogs, and the veterinary sedative xylazine — has reshaped opioid use disorder care.
ExploreAlcohol use disorder remains the most prevalent substance use disorder yet the most undertreated, with fewer than ten percent of patients receiving evidence-based pharmacotherapy.
ExploreStimulant use disorder has surged alongside the opioid crisis, with methamphetamine and cocaine now frequently co-detected with fentanyl in overdose decedents.
ExploreBehavioral addictions occupy a contested but expanding diagnostic space, with gambling disorder formally classified in DSM-5-TR and ICD-11, internet gaming disorder under continued study, and compulsive sexual behavior disorder added to ICD-11.
ExploreHarm reduction has moved from the margins to the center of US addiction policy following the 2022 federal endorsement of syringe services and OTC naloxone (Narcan, RiVive) approval.
ExploreMedications for addiction treatment remain dramatically underutilized despite decades of evidence, with fewer than a quarter of patients with OUD receiving buprenorphine, methadone, or naltrexone.
ExploreWCAM 2027 is a global forum for pioneering research, clinical translation and cross-disciplinary dialogue across the full spectrum of addiction medicine and behavioral health.
