About Addiction Treatment

Addiction treatment by an Internal Medicine specialist is a comprehensive, medically supervised approach to managing substance use disorders. This procedure involves a thorough assessment, detoxification management, medication-assisted treatment (MAT), and long-term relapse prevention planning. The internist addresses the complex interplay between addiction and co-occurring medical conditions like liver disease, cardiovascular issues, or mental health disorders. Treatment is personalized, combining FDA-approved medications (such as buprenorphine, naltrexone, or disulfiram) with behavioral counseling and lifestyle modifications. The goal is to achieve stable recovery, improve overall health, and restore functionality through a continuum of care that prioritizes patient safety and holistic well-being.
