Substance Addiction Psychiatry

Substance Addiction Psychiatry is a branch of medicine focused on diagnosing and treating individuals who struggle with addiction to substances like alcohol, drugs, and prescription medications. Specialists in this field understand the complex interplay of psychological, biological, and social factors that contribute to addiction. They provide evidence-based therapies, support, and medication to help patients reduce their dependence, manage withdrawal symptoms, and maintain long-term recovery. The goal is to improve the individual’s overall well-being and quality of life while addressing any co-occurring mental health issues.
