Substance Use Disorders

Medical Treatment for Addiction That Respects the Whole Person
Addiction is not a failure of willpower. It’s a chronic, relapsing condition that affects brain chemistry, behavior, and emotional regulation. At MindHealth MD, we treat Substance Use Disorders with the respect, urgency, and medical expertise they deserve—offering fast-access psychiatric care designed to stabilize, support, and strengthen patients on the path to recovery.
Our approach combines evidence-based medication with short-term psychiatric oversight and referrals to long-term resources—so patients don’t fall through the cracks.
