You awaken every morning, not knowing what the day holds. Thinking, if today was my last, I wouldn’t have to feel pain, feel lost, or feel empty. You start to feel alone, trapped, sad, burdened with everything in your life. If you could, you would close the door to life and reality. You're attempting to climb out of that deep dark hole that exist within you. You struggle as you walk out of your door. Then an alarming sense of fear overtakes you. You feel paralyzed in that moment and now must decide to hide or go to therapy. Is more help needed? Has your therapist mentioned reaching a roadblock and considering medication?

I believe when it comes to mental health there is not a “one size fits all solution” and that looking at the patients whole picture- not just mentally and physically- but also what is going on in their lives and what they have been through is essential to helping them move toward a meaningful life. I appreciate the challenges my clients have faced and recognize their resilience, I want them to know that I am here for them and there is hope.

Substance Use Psychiatrists

How do substance and drug recovery or rehabilitation programs work?

In inpatient programs, individuals live in a facility with other clients in recovery; in outpatient programs, individuals reside at home. These facilities are staffed with healthcare professionals including physicians, nurses, psychologists, counselors, and psychotherapists. Staff often also includes people who have recovered themselves, serving as mentors and guides. These programs may use abstinence, harm reduction, detoxification, psychotherapy, and other methods.

How do 12-step programs combined with psychotherapy work?

Members of 12-step programs help each other reach abstinence and work to maintain it. These programs promote complete change in the individual’s emotional, mental, physical, and even spiritual perspectives. Some programs require that new members attend 90 meetings in 90 days. Many people do attend these programs in conjunction with their work in psychotherapy; the combination of therapy along with 12-step can be extremely effective.

How does harm reduction combined with psychotherapy work?

According to the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, harm reduction prevents death, injury, disease, overdose, and substance misuse. People who choose harm reduction for substance use reduce the amount of drugs they consume. It is not abstinence-based like a 12-step program, but combining harm reduction with psychotherapy proves to be effective for many people.

Are there specific medications for substance and drug use?

There are medications approved to treat substance use disorder—such as buprenorphine, methadone, naltrexone, and acamprosate. These medications do help people cope with substance use as well as avoid the problem of relapse. Naltrexone can help reduce cravings, methadone is an opioid medication used to treat severe pain, and acamprosate may help ease symptoms like poor sleep and anxious feelings.
