The most common addictions are tobacco, alcohol and opioid addiction. Paradise Family Healthcare provides medication-assisted treatment. We put you on a medicine that cuts out the cravings, makes you feel normal again, and reduces the chances of a relapse. 

It used to be thought that addictions were purely a behavioral problem. Not so. Many addictions respond well to medication-assisted treatment. Medications plus behavior intervention (counseling) is usually the best approach.

Addiction Medicine, according to the American Board of Preventive Medicine (ABPM), is the prevention, evaluation, diagnosis, treatment, and recovery of persons with the disease of addiction, of those with substance-related health conditions, and of people who show unhealthy use of substances including nicotine, alcohol, prescription medications, and other licit and illicit drugs.

Physicians in this subspecialty also help family members whose health and functioning are affected by a loved one’s substance use or addiction.
