Chemical Dependency

Chemical Dependency Services



Alcoholism and drug addiction are debilitating disorders affecting the body, mind and spirit. With timely intervention and a comprehensive plan, the chemical dependency diseases can be successfully managed using medical detoxification and 12-step programs for recovery and relapse prevention.

Medically-managed detoxification balances concern for patient comfort with patient safety. A health history interview and physical examination are conducted by an addiction medicine specialist who designs a comprehensive individualized plan, taking into account substance abuse patterns, co-occurring diseases, and risk factors.
