Owing to a unique concentration of researchers with diverse expertise, the Sussex Addiction Research & Intervention Centre (SARIC) encompasses all aspects of drug and alcohol misuse, and behavioural addictions. Our researchers specialise in all elements of addiction science, including theoretical models, neuroscience, human psychopharmacology, clinical psychology, clinical trials, epidemiology, and policy issues.
Another vital aspect of SARIC strategy is to develop international collaborations with research groups, clinical facilities, and institutions concerned with addiction.
We also recruit talented addiction-focused students to work with us.
SARIC aims to improve our understanding of addiction and pursue translational approaches extending into clinical interventions to make meaningful impacts on the daily lives of individuals with addictions and their families.
