The CTN mission is to conduct rigorous, multi-site clinical trials of behavioral and pharmacological treatment interventions for drug abuse, and to determine their effectiveness in a broad range of real- world treatment settings and with diverse patient populations. Through its Dissemination activities, the CTN hopes to transfer research results to addiction counselors and others to improve drug abuse treatment throughout the country, using science as the vehicle.
