The challenge is to write an essay of no more than 1,200 words on any one of these topics:

• Addiction to drugs is a brain disease and the real hope for future treatment lies only in medicine. Discuss.




• Discuss your knowledge and experience of primary care drug and alcohol treatment; and reflect on what can be improved.
