Why Choose Newnan Family Medicine for Addiction Medicine?

Our addiction medicine services are tailored towards patients with substance disorders, such as alcohol use disorder, opioid use disorder, and tobacco use disorder. We also provide counseling to those patients who have been harmed by policies and practices that defame them.

Types of Addiction Treated

We treat a wide variety of addiction substance use disorders (SUD).

Alcohol Use Disorder
We first diagnose the problem, evaluate the severity, and then offer treatment. In alcohol use disorder, it's critical to determine whether the patient first requires acute medical stabilization and withdrawal services known as ‘detox’. In this case, we assist in arranging those services to be provided in an inpatient, monitored setting, if necessary.

Opioid Use Disorder
Similarly, we also diagnose the problem, evaluate the severity, and offer treatment in case of Opioid use disorder. Several life-saving and useful medications are available to treat opioid use disorder, withdrawal, reduce relapse, and reduce the risk of death. Methadone, Naltrexone, and Buprenorphine are the medication for opioid use disorder.
Tobacco Use Disorder
The treatment for tobacco use disorder contains cognitive behavioral therapy, nicotine replacement therapy, and counseling. Our team will help you determine the best treatment options available.

Treatments Available for Substance Use Disorder

We have various types of treatment available for addiction patients. These include:

Substance withdrawal management
This treatment is mainly for those suffering from withdrawal symptoms. We provide medical and psychological care to patients suffering from addiction.
Outpatient treatment
Outpatient treatment is mainly part-time programs, allowing patients to recover while they can do their normal daily activities. In this treatment, a patient is taught drug education, counseling, and how to cope without drugs.
Medical stabilization
This treatment is for adults experiencing acute withdrawal symptoms from either drugs or alcohol. Medical stabilization carefully manages the symptoms and paves the way for long-term success.

The various medications and treatments provided by us are integrated into the various levels of care. Our team of primary care providers have the knowledge and experience to provide systematic and comprehensive medical care that will meet your long-term medical needs.
