Addiction Psychiatrists
What type of addictions can psychiatrists treat?
Addiction is a general term used to describe a group of mental health conditions characterized by the engagement in compulsive behavior, the loss of control, and harmful impacts on one's life—such as disruptions to school, work, or familial commitments. Substance use disorders involving the use of alcohol and/or drugs are among the most common forms of addiction, but addictions can also be behavioral in nature, such as gambling or shopping. Psychiatrists who specialize in addiction help clients manage the influence of their addiction on their daily life, often through a combination of psychotherapy and, when indicated, medication.
How do psychiatrists approach addiction treatment?
When seeing a new client, a psychiatrist will often begin with an assessment to ensure that outpatient care is appropriate for the client and assess whether a higher level of care, such as an intensive outpatient program (IOP) or inpatient detox program, may be necessary. Once the current level of treatment has been determined, psychiatrists will work with clients to identify recovery goals and outline a treatment approach that is most appropriate. Psychiatrists will often support recovery through psychotherapy practices like motivational interviewing, as well as through medication, which for some conditions, like opioid use disorder, can help manage symptoms of withdrawal that make recovery from addiction more challenging. In other cases, medication may be used to treat co-occurring conditions, such as depression or anxiety.
How to find the right addiction psychiatrist?
The Psychology Today directory is a useful tool to find psychiatrists who specialize in addiction. Using the search filters, clients can search for professionals with expertise in addiction or related conditions, such as substance use, alcohol use, drug abuse, or dual diagnosis. If desired, clients can also narrow their search to providers who share their identity, such as identifying as a specific gender or practicing a given religion. When speaking with potential psychiatrists, it can be helpful to ask about their specific expertise in treating addiction and inquire about their approach to medication and behavioral interventions. Since not all psychiatrists treat every form of addiction, it is important to ensure that the psychiatrist has experience in the specific addiction that is relevant. It is also important to determine whether their office is accessible (either close-by or via telehealth) and if they accept your insurance.
