The UCLA Integrated Substance Abuse Programs (ISAP) was established
in 1999 to consolidate research efforts in nearly all areas of drug abuse
research. During this time, ISAP has steadily established its presence
as a major entity in the drug abuse research community, both domestically
and internationally. The group continues to advance the knowledge base
on drug problems and to improve the delivery of drug abuse treatment
services through an array of projects, some ongoing and some new. The
problem of methamphetamine abuse is particularly challenging, and we
are at the forefront of research, training and treatment development
in this area.
