Psychotherapeutic Addiction Psychiatry

Psychotherapeutic Addiction Psychiatry focuses on treating people with substance use disorders through a combination of therapy and medication. It recognizes that addiction is a complex illness involving the brain, emotions, and behavior. Psychiatrists in this field use various psychotherapeutic techniques, like cognitive-behavioral therapy, to help individuals understand their triggers, develop coping strategies, and change harmful habits. Medications may also be prescribed to reduce cravings or withdrawal symptoms. The goal is to support recovery by addressing both the psychological and physical aspects of addiction, helping individuals lead healthier, more fulfilling lives.
