Addiction Psychiatry is a specialized field that focuses on the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of substance use disorders and addictive behaviors. We know there are clear and specific biological underpinning to these problems, different from other mental health needs. Unlike general psychiatry, which addresses a broad range of mental health issues, Addiction Psychiatry is dedicated to understanding the complex interplay between addiction, mental health, and physical wellness. This unique service is crucial for individuals struggling with addiction, as it provides targeted interventions and therapies designed to address both the physical and psychological aspects of substance use. At our holistic psychiatric clinic, we integrate Addiction Psychiatry with other holistic practices to support comprehensive healing and recovery, ensuring that patients receive personalized care tailored to their specific needs.
Carencia starts with a thorough assessment to understand unique challenges and needs. Addressing any physical dependence first is a key step. From there, we create a unique and tailored plan for long-term recovery, incorporating psychotherapy, behavioral therapies, and referrals to support both the physical and psychological aspects of addiction. Often, medication-assisted treatment (MAT) (this could be hyperlinked to the Injection page and anchored to Vivitrol, Brixadi, and Sublocade) is considered to reduce cravings or reducing the reward of use when indicated and desired. Regular follow-ups ensure progress is monitored and adjustments are made as needed.
Addiction care at Carencia is designed to meet the unique needs of individuals struggling with substance use disorders. Our team has specialized education and training in addiction psychiatry, allowing us to understand the distinct differences required for effective treatment. We use evidence-based approaches that are both effective and empathetic, ensuring that each patient receives personalized care. At Carencia, we believe that addressing addiction requires more than just general psychiatric care; it demands a dedicated and specialized approach to truly support long-term recovery, understanding the specific and tailored treatment options, community resources, overall well-being.
Carencia treats a variety of addictions, including substance abuse (such as alcohol and drugs) and behavioral addictions (such as gambling and sex addiction).
Carencia utilizes therapy and medication together to treat addiction. Medications, such as Vivitrol, can help reduce cravings and manage withdrawal symptoms, while therapy can address the underlying psychological and emotional issues that contribute to addiction. Our team of healthcare providers will work with you to determine the best approach for your individual needs, including a combination of therapy and medication if deemed appropriate.
Vivitrol is an extended-release injectable medication used to treat addiction. It works by blocking the effects of opioids and reducing cravings. When taken as directed, Vivitrol can be an effective tool in the treatment of addiction, particularly for those struggling with opioid dependency.
