UCLA Dual Diagnosis Providers
Meet the Doctors And Staff
In order for recovery from addiction to be successful, the treatment plan must meet the unique needs of each recovering addict. If the person also suffers from ADHD, depression or other mood disorders, and/or an anxiety disorder, the treatment plan must simultaneously address the symptoms, causes, and consequences of all conditions. This can be difficult to accomplish in an addiction-treatment environment that does not employ full-time psychiatrists.
The UCLA Dual Diagnosis Program has a staff of board-certified psychiatrists and other addiction medicine professionals. Trained at top institutions, our experts provide exceptional care to patients who are enrolled in the program. To set up an evaluation or get more information, contact the program administrator today.
