A leading nonprofit research institute of Massachusetts General Hospital, an affiliate of Harvard Medical School, whose mission is to enhance the public health impact of addiction recovery science through the summary, synthesis, and dissemination of scientific findings and the conduct of novel research
Addiction is one of the greatest public health crises of our time, with staggeringly high rates of mortality, disease, and disability.
We need scientific research to improve the effectiveness of addiction treatment and recovery efforts, to find out what is and what is not working, and why certain pathways to recovery work for some individuals and not others.
At the Recovery Research Institute, they know that stable and long-term recovery from alcohol and other drug use disorders is possible. Rates of recovery can continue to be improved through focused scientific investigation and a commitment to public education.
