INEBRIA in partnership with the Program on Substance Abuse of The Generalitat of Catalonia and SANGATH have organized the 17th annual INEBRIA Conference. This conference will focus on setting new directions for brief interventions. The organizers anticipate that the conference will provide an opportunity for practitioners, implementers, academics, policy-makers, and various other state actors to influence the agenda for brief interventions. The ultimate goal is to change the way addictions care is conceptualized particularly in low resource settings.
