Alcohol and Substance Abuse Treatment
Our addiction psychiatrists, physicians and trauma therapists can treat the underlying causes and present day behaviors connected to alcohol and substance misuse.
01
Substance and Alcohol Disorder Treatment
People with trauma often use substances to calm their overactive nervous systems, which can lead to misuse. We utilize harm reduction, motivational interviewing, and EMDR to get to the root of the problem and reduce or eliminate problematic substance use.
