Substance Use Disorders (SUDs) and Addictions are a major public health concern, affecting people’s health and well-being at all ages. The intention behind this collection was to publish original research articles on SUDs and related addictions. These articles would address genetic, neurobiological, psychological, and environmental risk factors for the development of these disorders, as well as approaches to diagnosis and treatment. Thirteen articles covering a wide range of topics related to different SUDs and behavioral addictions, as well as human and animal studies from basic and clinical research, were received and have been summarized in this editorial. Each of the articles has made a significant contribution to our scientific understanding of addiction, with the potential to inform clinical applications. We hope that the findings revealed by this collection of articles, along with the broader efforts of the scientific and clinical communities around the world, will lead to the development of better tools and methods for preventing, diagnosing, and treating substance use disorders (SUD) and behavioral addictions.
