Addiction Medicine: A Primer
Addiction is defined as a treatable, progressive medical disease which can be chronic or relapsing in nature. It involves complex interactions among neural pathways, genetic predispositions, environmental factors, and an individual’s life experiences. People with this disorder misuse drugs or alcohol in a way that is compulsive, and they continue to do so in spite of significant, harmful consequences.
The category of addiction medicine has been formally recognized since 1990. Professionals in this field seek to aid patients in the identification and treatment of substance use disorders. In order to practice the subspecialty of addiction medicine, providers must meet three significant standards. They must possess an unrestricted, valid medical license, they must have graduated from an accredited medical school, and they must hold primary board certification from the American Board of Medical Specialties.
Our Integrative Approach
At Recovery Without Walls, our specialists have extensive experience and advanced training for the evaluation, diagnosis, and treatment of people with substance use disorders. This specialized knowledge has enabled Dr. Kornfeld and our other team members to develop highly effective addiction treatment modalities.
Because addiction is a disease which affects all areas of one’s life, it is crucial for treatment to address biological, psychological, and social factors which may contribute to ongoing substance use. Through nutritional support, psychotherapy, meditation, massage, exercise programming, and other modalities, our approach to addiction medicine truly heals the whole patient.
