Medicina delle Dipendenze - Italian Journal of the Addictions (MDD), official journal of the Società Italiana Tossicodipendenze (SITD), is an Italian scientific journal published quarterly and established with the aim of becoming a preeminent communication tool on the biological basis of drug dependence. Its main goal is to spread correct information on the characteristics of psychotropic substances, on drug abuse and drug dependence case histories and available treatments and on the latest achievements in fundamental and clinical research in the field. Each monographic issue focuses on the debate and close examination of a single topic. The journal targets professionals working in the field of addiction throughout Italy; furthermore, in view of the periodic not strictly technical nature of articles, MDD may also prove useful for general practitioners, hospital doctors, psychiatrists and specialist consultants in various areas interested or involved in drug addiction, as well as students and professionals lacking a strictly medical background (social workers, psychologists, youth workers, teachers, penitentiary workers, etc.).
