In which decade did the models of supervision begin to focus on biochemistry and pharmacology?

The 1990s marked a significant shift in the field of supervision, especially in substance abuse treatment, as models began to incorporate a more detailed understanding of biochemistry and pharmacology. During this decade, there was a growing recognition of how biological factors, including the neurochemical processes related to addiction, could affect treatment outcomes. This led to an increased emphasis on pharmacological approaches and the importance of understanding how different substances interact with the brain and body. Consequently, this period saw advancements in the development of medications to assist in treatment and a more nuanced view of how these medical interventions could be integrated with behavioral therapies. As a result, the focus on biochemistry and pharmacology in supervision models became more pronounced during the 1990s, setting the stage for ongoing developments in both treatment methodologies and supervision practices in the years to follow.
