We were recently invited to the 1st Erada (erada.ae) international conference on addiction, a brain and social disease. The ground-breaking conference was the first of its kind in Dubai, the United Arab Emirates. There were speakers from all over the region and guest speakers from Harvard, presenting up to date research and findings in good clinical practice.
