The Addictive Behaviors Research Group (GCA) belongs to the Department of Psychology, at the University of Oviedo (Spain). It is situated in the Addictive Behaviors Clinical Unity (UCCA) of the Psychology Faculty. This group started its journey in 1990 and since then, has developed many research projects in the field of addictive behaviors. Our major research lines include developing, implementing and evaluating programs for prevention and treatment of drug abuse and dependence.


Since its very beginning, the main labor of the GCA is to develop research projects in the field of drug addiction collaborating with public and private institutions and organisms. Additionally, professionals from the Research Group work give training seminars, provide clinical services and technical advice about drug addiction and related issues.
