Specializes in Psychiatry

Addiction medicine: There is a specialty in psychiatry called addiction medicine. These are medial doctors that are trained first in psychiatry and then have taken additional training in the diagnosis and treatment of addicting disorders. You can find them by going online with terms such as addiction medicine, or by calling the local state medical or psychiatric associations.

Absolutely: It is so important and courageous that you are addressing this addiction! :-) talk with your primary doctor about a plan, if needed she/he can recommend specialist near by that takes your insurance. If those options are not possible, there is a local community mental health center in your county that can provide services at low or no cost. Reach out today!
