Addiction Medicine

Addiction medicine is a medical specialty focused on the prevention, evaluation, diagnosis, and treatment of substance use disorders and addictive behaviors. Patients managing chronic pain are particularly vulnerable to developing dependence on prescription medications, making addiction medicine an essential part of comprehensive pain care. Substance use disorders are medical conditions, not moral failings. They involve complex changes in brain chemistry and function that require professional treatment. Our approach combines medication-assisted treatment (MAT), behavioral counseling, and ongoing support to help patients achieve and maintain recovery. At Spinal Interventions, our providers are experienced in treating opioid use disorder and other substance use conditions alongside chronic pain. We offer individualized treatment plans that address both pain management and recovery, helping patients regain control of their lives through safe, evidence-based care.
