The Society for the Study of Addiction (SSA) is a British society with charitable status that promotes the cause of research, public policy and treatment of addiction. The SSA was originally named The Society for the Study and Cure of Inebriety and was founded in 1884 by Dr Norman Kerr who was the first president. It was originally restricted to qualified practitioners and was established in response to the 1879 Habitual Drunkards Act. The word "Cure" was dropped from the title in 1887, and it was renamed the Society for the Study of Addiction to Alcohol and other Drugs in 1946. The organisation lifted the restriction on membership in 1959. More information...
