New research hub led by University of Queensland researchers has received $2.5 million to investigate better ways to help people suffering with drug and alcohol addiction.
The funding, provided by the National Health and Medical Research Council (NHMRC), will be used to turn the existing partnership between UQ researchers and addiction support provider Lives Lived Well into a national Centre of Research Excellence (CRE).
UQ clinical psychologist Leanne Hides says the funding injection would allow them to expand their operations and do thorough investigations into how well their programs were working.
