The Maryland-DC Society of Addiction Medicine (MDDCSAM) is a Chapter of the American Society of Addiction Medicine (ASAM.) ASAM, founded in 1954, is a professional medical society representing over 7,000 physicians, clinicians and associated professionals in the field of addiction medicine. ASAM is dedicated to increasing access and improving the quality of addiction treatment, educating physicians and the public, supporting research and prevention, and promoting the appropriate role of physicians in the care of patients with addiction.
Our partnership program provides addiction specialists with valuable personal and professional resources that help them thrive, while offering businesses opportunities to develop quality leads and strategic connections with decision-makers.
As a Chapter of the American Society of Addiction Medicine, MDDCSAM advocates as the voice of addiction medicine in Annapolis and Washington D.C. We are leading the movement to transform addiction treatment infrastructure and expand access to research-validated, results-based care.
Every effort is being made by MDDCSAM staff to keep this guidance up to date, but we recommend always referring to MDH, CDC, and ASAM guidance for the most recent information.
