I have mentioned on this blog a little bit about "Old World" Charity in Moscow, Russia. It is one of the leading addiction treatment programs in Russia.
They have very kindly asked me and another friend of this blog, Fr. Iulian Negru, to talk on alcoholism and addictions at the conference they are sponsoring in cooperation with the Moscow Municipal Psychological and Pedagogical University.
Here is the link to the official announcement. Just open the document and you'll see the full announcement. Here's an excerpt:
We are glad to invite you for taking part in Third International Scientific-Practical Conference
"Addictive behavior: prevention and rehabilitation", which will take
place on 6-7 November - 2013 in Moscow, at

University.
The Purpose of our
Conference is consolidation of national
and international scientist's efforts of their researches and practices in
field of addictive behavior, so as to model preventive interventions, construct
