Addiction Treatment

If you or a loved one is ready to take the first step in tackling addiction, Professional Psychiatric Services is here for you. 

​

We offer medications as well as psychotherapy options to treat many forms of addiction. Whether the addiction is to alcohol, opioids, gambling, or anything else, we can customize a treatment plan that meets your intended goals. 

​

Medication assisted programs are useful for treating addictions to alcohol, pain killers, heroin, and cocaine. The primary medicines used to control these addictions include the following:

​

• Suboxone

• Naltrexone

• Campral

​

Additional medicines are used to help with craving and impulsivity, and to prevent relapses.

​

Psychotherapy treatments include the following:

​

• Education and Support. A good understanding of addiction helps to empower the individual to work around the disease and to minimize its damage.

• Relapse Prevention. By identifying triggers and exploring emotional memory, the recovering patient develops strategies to prevent relapse.

• Sobriety Maintenance. This part of treatment focuses on correcting the dysfunctional cognitive model for stress intolerance and helps the individual make adjustments to the decision making process.

• Sponsorship and Advocacy. Participation in sponsorship and advocacy programs help to maintain motivation for patients and affirmation of progress.
