His illustrious career spans decades, covering groundbreaking research into the treatment of opioid, cocaine, and methamphetamine use disorders. His work has expanded to 15 countries to advance addiction medicine and research. The much-deserved award was presented on June 18 at the annual College on Problems of Drug Dependence conference.
