Addiction Medicine

Addiction Medicine is devoted to the prevention, evaluation, and treatment of substance use disorders and addictive behaviors. Specialists in this field employ a range of interventions, including medication-assisted therapies, counseling, and psychosocial support.

They address addictions to alcohol, opioids, tobacco, and other substances. Addiction medicine physicians often collaborate with psychiatrists, psychologists, social workers, and community resources to provide integrated care.

Emphasis is placed on harm reduction, relapse prevention, and long-term recovery.
