Alexandre Laudet is a social psychologist and the director of the Center for the Study of Addictions and Recovery at the New York City-based National Development and Research Institutes. NDRI, a nongovernmental research agency, works to advance scientific knowledge of substance abuse, mental health, HIV/AIDS and related social and health concerns in order to contribute to their prevention and solution. Laudet was the principal investigator of a study exploring social supports, spirituality, religiousness, life meaning and 12-step program participation in the recovery process from addiction. She studied more than 300 recovering addicts from New York City, many of whom were inner-city ethnic minorities formerly addicted to crack cocaine or heroine and who had used multiple substances for more than 20 years.
