The International Society of Addiction Medicine welcomes both individual memberships and Affiliation with National Societies in the field with the listed advantages below.

1. The Affiliate Society is composed of a majority of physicians.
2. Members either practice or have an interest in Addiction Medicine.
3. The aims and objectives of the Affiliate Society are compatible with those of ISAM

The society should send an informal application letter to the ISAM President and head office stating the general information on the society (aims, objectives), the main profession of members, number of members, contact persons, web pages of the society and declare any support from alcohol or tobacco industry to the society.

Upon Board approval of the affiliation:

• A contact for the Society Head Office or Secretariat will be the one to receive ISAM information/notices.
• A copy of the ISAM Bytes and other information will be funneled through the Society contact person/email.
• Affiliate Society members will be entitled to a reduction in registration fees for the annual ISAM meetings as set by the Local Organizing Committee of that event as well as a reduced fee for the Certification Examination.

ISAM also has several Organizational Affiliates: The European Opiate Addiction Treatment Association (EUROPAD), the Maltese Foundation of Social Welfare Services (FSWS), the Organization Against Drugs of Greece (OKANA), the National Addictions Management Service of Singapore (NAMS) and the National Rehabilitation Center (NRC), UAE

As well the Canadian Journal of Addiction (CJA) is an affiliate journal.

The Affiliation fees will be determined in consultation with the Regional Representative to take into account the World Bank economic categories
