A report on the first ever Substance Use and Addiction Conference of the Association for Behavior Analysis International. This unique conference applied the concepts of behavior analysis to one of our most damaging social problems. After years of failed attempts to reduce the problem of addiction, a new perspective is badly needed. Show highlights: - The different lectures addressing substance use from a behavioral analytic lens. - The poster session and the many different kinds of professionals interested in this area. - A new perspective on the problem of addiction and a Ted Talk about an interesting change of strategy against the drug problem used in Canada.
