The ScattergoodEthics Program will hold a conference on Alternative Strategies for Alcoholism Treatment on Wednesday, May 21st, 2008 on the University of Pennsylvania campus in Philadelphia. The conference is organized by the ScattergoodEthics Program in cooperation with the University of Pennsylvania Center for the Study of Addictions, directed by Dr. Charles O’Brien.

The aim of the conference is to examine the role and ethical implications of comprehensive treatment for alcohol dependency. The conference intends to bring together various elements of the alcohol dependency treatment community to explore different treatment strategies, raise relevant ethical and social questions, consider the empirical research and clinical experience that points to advantages and disadvantages of different methods, offer policy-oriented directions for action, and look for new collaborations in the field. The conference will air differences in treatment philosophy within the alcohol dependency treatment community, discuss empirical findings, and compare evidence-based treatment strategies.
