Research
Mayo Clinic's addiction programs have a long history of incorporating advances in the medical understanding of addiction and related medical and emotional problems.
Doctors and scientists are doing research to better understand how genetics relates to alcohol, drugs and other addictions. They concentrate on developing individualized strategies for addiction treatment.
Goals include identifying biomarkers, also called biological markers, which indicate a tendency to develop addictive disorders. Another goal is to identify biomarkers that reflect the ability to respond to specific treatment options. Mayo Clinic patients can participate in leading-edge research.
