How can you tell the difference between recreational drinking or substance abuse? The truth is, often you can't—but your family and friends can.
If your loved ones have ever expressed concern about your substance use—or if you’ve ever lost important relationships over alcohol or drugs—it may be time to seek help.
If you have a substance abuse problem, or fear you might but are worried about seeking treatment due to stigma or shame, please call us. Our board-certified addiction psychiatrists are some of the best in the country, and we can help you find freedom from the substances damaging your life.
How We Help
Genetic Testing
Substance abuse often has roots in genetic predispositions. We use genetic testing to determine how your genes may play a role in drug-seeking behavior.
Talk Therapy
Sometimes substance abuse is a symptom of unresolved trauma. Talk therapy helps you let go of its damaging effects and make healthier choices.
Root Cause Psychiatry
Our Root Cause program helps to determine how your substance abuse relates to your larger mental health ecosystem and addresses its multiple sources.
