WelcomeDear Colleagues and Friends, The choice of Geneva for the ISAM 2012 meeting, and the subject of Treatment Delivery Systems: asserting the future, is somewhat of a natural selection. Geneva, based on humanist foundation is the mirror of apluralistic world: capital of international human rights, headquarters of WHO. It is also a city of peace, knowledge and cultural exchanges around universal themes: respect and integration being the founding principles. The field of addictions is young and evolving, characterized by the rapid adaptability of its service providers to the needs of the clients hence directly impacting the Treatment Delivery Systems and challenging its mission. The field being in full effervescence with the multiplicity of treatment models, along with increasing economic constraints is facing the challenge of designing Treatment Delivery Systems where asserting the future with realistically achievable goals in different national working contexts around the world remains the main concern. This meeting aims to offer a platform of exchange and debates where the sharing of experiences and recent progresses will hopefully permit the delegates in an integrative manner to explore new paths to solution oriented outcomes and empower the participants to take home the choice of asserting their respective positions in their working contexts of national Treatment Delivery Systems.
