ASAM, the American Society of Addiction Medicine, is a nonprofit professional society based in Rockville, Maryland, with a membership that exceeds seven thousand. It aims to expand access to addiction treatment and raise its quality while supporting research, prevention, and education for physicians and the public, and clarifying the physician’s role in caring for patients with addiction. In early 2026 ASAM released a second volume of its Fourth Edition to address individualized care for adolescents and transition-aged youth. It also published an Implementation Guide for Hospital and Emergency Department Substance Use Disorder Care to help hospitals meet nationally recognized standards of care. The organization maintains an active program of recognition and leadership in the field through awards that honor notable contributions to addiction medicine.
