FAQ
Q: What is an addiction medicine physician?
A:
Addiction medicine physicians prevent, evaluate, diagnose, treat, and support recovery of persons with substance use disorders and their loved ones. Like in other chronic disease management (e.g diabetes, high blood pressure), addiction medicine physicians use evidence based medical therapies in combination with behavioral interventions to treat this complex, relapsing brain illness.
Q: Do you do therapy?
A:
While talk therapy is a component of our sessions, I collaborate with various therapists throughout the Atlanta Metro and surrounding areas. While seeing me, I encourage patients to also see someone for counseling. We will usually meet less frequently and for less time than you will with a psychologist or therapist.
Q: What are your fees?
A:
If I am not on your insurance plan or for self-pay patients, I charge $350.00 for initial visits and $150.00 for follow up visits.
