The World Addiction Conference not only offered good ground for addiction treatment but also achieved the goal of being networked globally and introducing new ideas. This energy keeps us going into 2025, and we are driven to make significant changes in the fight against addiction. We are creating an environment where knowledge, kindness, and research build connections to the effect. Come again at AWC 2025 to move further with this noble goal of lighting hope and change worldwide.
