European Federation of Addiction Societies (EUFAS) is an umbrella organisation for European societies of Addiction Medicine and Addiction Psychology founded in 2010. EUFAS works to promote education and advances in knowledge and understanding in the field of addiction in all European countries, for the non-profit protection of health. ‘Addiction’ comprises all mental disorders related to the use of psychoactive substances and non-substance habit-forming products (such as gambling).
Specifically, EUFAS intends to:
- Improve addiction care in European countries.
- Improve prevention measures both on a national as well as a European level.
- Support those European countries whose prevention and treatment systems may be less developed.
- Influence the allocation of financial resources for addiction research on a national as well as a European level.
Major goals:
- Reinforce addiction research in Europe
- Improve and harmonise prevention and treatment
- Suggest policies based on evidence
