Just like diabetes, heart disease, and other progressive, chronic conditions, addiction must be diagnosed and treated with both a short term and long-term treatment plan. Your IAC specialist will work with you to identify the treatment that best suits your needs, and initiate that therapy, as quickly as possible.  Most of our patients have taken multiple agents such as opioids with methamphetamine, crack/cocaine, benzodiazepines and alcohol. We treat all of our patients with the idea that multiple substances may be involved.

Our treatment embraces the whole individual.  We understand that emotional and social problems often converge at the time difficulties due to addiction have reached an unbearable level.  Your team of medical professionals, therapists, and social workers are seasoned experts in the field of addiction medicine and will help you devise a plan and help guide you towards a  durable recovery. 

• Your physicians will work with you on your physical health, withdrawal symptoms, medication assisted treatment, and manage your overall plan of care.  
• Your therapist will work with on behavioral treatments that may include motivational enhancement therapy, cognitive-behavioral therapy, and contingency management, as well as family-based treatments. 
• Your social worker will help identify social issues that interfere with your desire to change your life. These issues will be explored and a plan made to address each of them.  We especially focus of housing, workforce preparedness/job placement, family and legal issues, transportation, and benefits eligibility.
• Your social worker will help identify and carefully select with you the appropriate peer support groups, 12-step programs, online chat rooms, and/or other approaches to help sustain a path to a durable recovery.
