This project is designed to analyse and compare legal approaches to addiction to alcohol and other drugs (AOD), identifying the strengths and weaknesses of different approaches. Harms associated with AOD cost Australia over $25 billion per year. The law plays a central role in managing these harms. Yet legal responses to AOD and the key concept of ‘addiction’ are often inconsistent. These variations have unintended and often adverse economic, social and health implications. The expected project outcomes will inform new, more productive approaches to AOD-related harms in Australian law, contributing to improved economic, social and health outcomes.

该项目旨在分析和比较处理酒精和其他药物成瘾的法律的方法，确定不同方法的优缺点。与AOD相关的危害每年使澳大利亚损失超过250亿美元。法律在管理这些伤害方面发挥着核心作用。然而，对AOD的法律的反应和“成瘾”的关键概念往往是不一致的。这些变化会产生意想不到且往往不利的经济、社会和健康影响。预期的项目成果将为澳大利亚法律中与AOD相关的危害提供新的、更有成效的方法，有助于改善经济、社会和健康成果。
