Substance Use Disorder (SUD) Treatment

Substance abuse (or substance use disorder) refers to the misuse of alcohol, drugs, or prescription medication. A person with substance use disorder may have an addiction that makes it difficult for them to control their use of drugs or alcohol. Over time this addiction can change their brain chemistry and behaviors, leading to psychological or physical harm. We'll start with an initial psychiatric evaluation and diagnosis. We'll ask about your substance use and how it has affected your relationships, home life, work, and more. We may also order blood tests or other lab work to help us get a better understanding of your overall health. Substance abuse treatments typically involve interventional, peer counseling or behavioral therapy, and prescription medication to curb cravings and withdrawal symptoms.

We provide comprehensive treatment programs encompassing both detoxification and rehabilitation for individuals facing addiction challenges with opiates/opioids (such as Heroin, Percocet, Oxycodone, Fentanyl), benzodiazepines (including Xanax Ativan), and stimulants (such as Adderall and Ritalin).

Alcohol Abuse
