What Is Addiction Medicine?
Addiction medicine is a medical specialty focused on the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of substance use disorders. It addresses the complex ways addiction affects both the body and mind, offering evidence-based treatments to help individuals regain control of their health and lives.
As an addiction medicine physician, I provide comprehensive care that may include medications to ease withdrawal and cravings, behavioral therapy support, and treatment for coexisting medical or mental health conditions. My approach is compassionate and nonjudgmental, recognizing addiction as a chronic medical condition rather than a personal failure.
Whether you’re struggling with alcohol, opioids, or other substances, effective treatment is available. My goal is to help you safely navigate recovery, improve your overall well-being, and support long-term success.
