Men's Issues

I believe addiction is a medical illness: a chronic biological disease of the brain that causes drug abuse and that recovery is a process, not simply a single event. I recognize and embrace the need for a complete approach to treating addiction, employing a combination of both the medical and psychosocial. My support services compliment the medical treatment my clients receive from their physicians.

I believe lengthy inpatient stays are rarely the answer and in many cases effective change is best achieved within the community rather than a hospital setting. Hospitalization provides an intervention to crisis, but rarely provides treatment with lasting effects towards maintaining sobriety - this comes from the work we do outside of the hospital setting; in our day to day lives.

The culture and construct of addiction treatment is evolving, and "one size fits all" treatment is simply not that effective. Together we build a recovery maintenance plan tailored to your needs and life situation.
