A session open to individuals working in the field of addiction, where we discuss an evidence-based, open-access article with implications for substance use disorder practice. This month, we will be joined by a few authors to review and discuss their article, "Patient and Provider Perspectives on the Elimination of Urine Drug Testing in Office-Based Addiction Treatment" by Theisen, J., Weinstein, Z. M., Davoust, M., Ventura, A. S., Magane, K. M., Cheng, A., Blakemore, S., Blodgett, J., Fielman, S., Saitz, R., & Bazzi, A. R.

Addiction Journal Club (AJC) is a monthly session where we meet to review an evidence-based, open-access article and discuss its implications for substance use disorder (SUD) practice. This includes new research and landmark studies relevant to SUD practice. AJC is distinct from other BMC Grayken Center for Addiction TTA events; it is designed to be less didactic and more of an interactive review of emerging data and trends related to caring for persons who use substances. It is also a great opportunity to network with addiction colleagues and share experiences about clinical practices.
