Abstract

Addiction medicine is confronting challenges brought about by changes in our modern world, including shifts in the drug market and the increasing digitalization of our environments. This article highlights some of these challenges and explores potential strategies to address them. The field is also advancing through robust research momentum in psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy. Additionally, the rapid growth of non-invasive brain stimulation techniques and artificial intelligence-driven research demonstrates the integration of cutting-edge technologies into addiction medicine, with the potential to transform clinical practice in the years ahead.
