Addiction Medicine incorporates solid, evidence-base treatment for all levels of substance abuse disorders (SUD). SUD is a complex condition that involves a problematic pattern of substance abuse. It can range from mild to severe (addiction) however, it is treatable. Our expert providers and clinical team can identify, diagnose, and treat the core issues that led to substance abuse and any co-occurring mental health issues that may be hindering a person’s ability to recover. Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) is offered as a form of treatment which involves the use of medications, in combination with counseling and Behavioral therapies, to provide a whole patient approach to the treatment of SUD. When used to treat opioid addiction, MAT stabilizes brain chemistry, blocks the euphoric effects of opioids, relieves physiological cravings, and normalizes body functions.
