title: Treatment failure one step removed: the loss of researchers in the addictions.
abstract: Contemporary substance use intervention failure is a multi-faceted problem not restricted to consideration of treatment program approaches and poor outcomes in those affected. In the current environment, the steady erosion of funding and funding mechanisms that have led to our understanding of and treatments for substance use disorders will lead to a loss of experienced researchers. With them will go many important areas of discovery and a foundation for training and mentoring that will be challenging to replace.
