What is Addiction Psychiatry?

Addiction Psychiatry is a branch of behavioral health care that addresses the treatment of substance-related disorders caused by intoxication, substance withdrawal, misuse/abuse, and dependence upon legal and/or illegal substances. A relatively recent development in the branch of medicine, Addictionology combines evidenced-based treatment and involves multidisciplinary teams in the treatment of substance use disorders.
