The Barrier Islands Philosophy - Addiction and other psychiatric disorders result from malfunction of the circuits of the brain due to genetics, adverse experiences, and distortion of purpose and connection with oneself. The best treatment is focused on restoring normal function to these circuits through a combination of medications, therapy, and a focus on total body health. Because mental health and physical health are interconnected, treatment should be comprehensive. At Barrier Islands, we believe in a compassionate and understanding approach. We use cutting-edge treatments that are based on research.
