Psychologists & Psychiatrists

Psychologists (also called therapists or counselors) and psychiatrists can play a vital role in your recovery.

Psychologists are mental health professionals who help patients explore emotional and psychological issues that may have been at the root of their addiction. They also help patients develop healthy coping skills in order to get rid of the triggers often present among substance abusers.

Psychiatrists are physicians specialized in mental health. They are trained to diagnose and treat behavior health problems such as depression, anxiety, attention deficit disorders, bipolar disorders and other conditions commonly found in patients suffering from substance abuse.

Our addiction medicine physicians encourage communication between the various mental health professionals and believe that team work leads to a better outcome in your care. They will discuss with you the optimal way to work on developing coping skills and techniques to handle stress. They will also provide material on Cognitive Behavior Therapy and the best way to find the clinical psychologist that will guide you in that process.
