People who are addicted to or abuse various chemical substances can benefit greatly from the services of a psychiatrist. The process of overcoming addiction and walking towards full independence from the substances requires a lot of support. A psychiatrist is trained to understand the different types of addiction, identify the factors that facilitate the habit and apply the appropriate therapeutic methods of treatment.

Alcohol
Alcohol addiction is a serious, crippling affliction. When a person is unable to control their drinking, they become unable to participate in important daily tasks. Alcohol addiction is also difficult for friends and family members to witness. Many people with an alcohol addiction start their day with a drink, feel guilty about their drinking, and although they may have the desire to cut down on their drinking, it is almost impossible to do so on their own.
At South Florida Psychiatry, we help guide patients who want to cut down on or completely quit drinking. We have programs that are designed to help people cut down on their drinking, without giving up alcohol altogether, as well as traditional programs designed to cut out alcohol entirely.
Drugs (Cocaine and Heroin)
South Florida Psychiatry has helped thousands of patients with drug abuse. Drugs like cocaine and heroin are highly addictive substances that are harmful to the users and their loved ones. There is a common misconception that drug and alcohol addiction only happens to people who lack moral values. In reality, drug abuse is a complex disease that requires more than just a strong will or a simple decision to stop.
Our highly skilled specialists know how to properly treat those suffering from drug addiction. With proper care and attention, drug addiction can be treated and managed life-long.
