12 May 2016

By João Pedro Augusto

The aim of this document is to provide an orderly and systematic approach towards the history of addiction treatment in Portugal over the past five decades (1958-2014). It contains a rigorous and detailed compilation of events relating to the sector's emergence and development based on data from different sources and a substantial amount of scattered information that is not easy to understand even for specialists although laymen are also able to express their critical views, based on published facts.
