Addiction Psychiatry


Addiction, the characteristic behaviors that accompany repetitive substance use, is such a commonly-occurring malady that virtually all physicians are called upon to treat addicted individuals.

Addiction treatment may therefore be performed by physicians of all backgrounds.

Psychiatrists are commonly consulted for addiction treatment, and addiction treatment is part of every psychiatrist’s clinical training and experience.

There are those psychiatrists who elect to undergo additional training in addiction treatment in order to specialize in addiction psychiatry.

Dr. Lord elected to undergo that extra training in order to become an addiction specialist.

Additionally, I am pleased to have served patients in or seeking recovery for over two decades.

That service includes both initiating and discontinuing medications when clinically appropriate.

I have developed a set of skills over the years in an effort to assist patients to accomplish their goals of successfully discontinuing medications even when previous attempts could not be completed or were otherwise unsuccessful.
