ADDICTION

Addiction is a chronic, relapsing condition marked by compulsive substance use despite harmful consequences. It can have profound effects on health, relationships, and quality of life. At Interventional Psychiatry Group, we understand addiction is a treatable medical condition, not a moral failing, and we stand ready to provide compassionate, evidence-based care.
 
What is addiction?
Addiction, or Substance Use Disorder (SUD), involves the problematic use of alcohol, prescription medications, or illicit substances leading to significant distress or impairment. DSM-5-TR criteria include cravings, inability to cut down, using more or for longer than intended, withdrawal symptoms, tolerance, and continued use despite social, occupational, or health consequences.
 
What treatments help manage addiction?
Treatment for addiction is individualized and may include medication-assisted treatment (MAT), psychiatric management of co-occurring mental health conditions, and psychotherapy. Interventional Psychiatry Group can support you with comprehensive evaluations, medication management, and referrals to trusted therapy partners specializing in addiction treatment.
