Division of Therapeutics and Medical Consequences (DTMC)

Mission of DTMC

To use science as a vehicle for improving the treatment of Substance Use Disorders (SUDs) and their medical consequences, focusing on the identification, evaluation, and development of safe and effective therapeutics, such as medications, biologics. devices, digital, and behavioral interventions.

The DTMC achieves this mission by:

  • Supporting and conducting research on innovative pharmacological and non-pharmacological approaches for treating SUDs and facilitating recovery.
  • Collaborating with pharmaceutical companies and other federal agencies involved in therapeutic development.
  • Facilitating the regulatory approval process for new medications, devices, and digital therapeutics for SUDs.
  • Promoting the development of reliable methods to measure the safety and efficacy of SUD treatments in preclinical models and clinical trials.
  • Investigating the medical consequences of SUDs, including infections such as HIV and Hepatitis C, and developing treatments for SUDs comorbid with other health conditions.
  • Disseminating the knowledge gained from DTMC-supported research to improve the treatment outcomes of patients with SUDs.
