One way to treat addiction is through medication therapy. With proper guidance from therapists and the primary physician, patients can be subjected to this type of treatment especially when their addiction involves opioids, alcohol, or tobacco consumption. From the start, we always consider addiction as a treatable disease. However, before we prescribe any medication to treat addiction, a series of psychiatric evaluations and substance abuse assessments must take place. The goal is to ensure that the patient meets the diagnostic criteria that makes them eligible for medication therapy to address addiction or addictive behavioral disorders. - Patient Education
