Educational Needs in the Sphere of Addictology in Georgia


Publisher: Altgeorgia, Georgia

Volume: 10 pages , pdf

Description


The field of addictology has been developing in Georgia since the early ’nineties, since the country became independent. In 1992 addictology (known at that time as “Narcology”) was separated from psychiatry as an independent multidisciplinary field, and a separate scientific institute and clinic were founded as justifiers and symbols of separation. Starting from the end of the ’nineties, drug-focused NGOs started to appear on the professional stage, focusing on drug primary prevention, harm reduction and policies. The relevant legislation was developed and adopted by the Parliament of Georgia at the beginning of the new millennium (in 2002-2003).
