What Is Addiction Psychiatry?
Most addiction programs focus on the substance. We focus on the person.
Addiction rarely develops in isolation. It often begins as a way to manage anxiety, trauma, depression, chronic stress, or pain. Addressing the substance without addressing what’s underneath it rarely leads to lasting recovery.
Addiction psychiatry takes a medical and psychological approach, diagnosing and treating both the substance use disorder and any co-occurring mental health conditions. At BNI Clinics, that means a psychiatrist and therapist working together on your care.
What We Treat
We Work With Adults and Adolescents Struggling With:
Alcohol Opioids Stimulants and cannabis Anxiety, depression, or trauma alongside substance use ADHD and impulse dysregulation Adolescent substance use Family impact and recovery supportHow It Works
Psychiatry and therapy, working together from day one.
Start with an evaluation: Your first visit includes a thorough psychiatric assessment covering your substance use history, mental health, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Get a diagnosis that accounts for the full picture: Many people with substance use disorders also have anxiety, depression, trauma, or ADHD that has never been properly identified. We name what we find. Psychodynamic Therapy: You are matched with an addiction psychiatrist and a therapist whose specialties align with your needs, including demographic fit and spiritual background.Treatment addresses both layers: Your psychiatrist and therapist collaborate on a plan that treats the substance use and the underlying conditions driving it.Our Treatment Approach
Evidence-Based Therapies Tailored to You
Therapy at BNI Clinics is individualized. Depending on your needs, your therapist may use:
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT)
Builds skills for managing intense emotions without turning to substances
Psychodynamic Therapy
Explores past experiences and subconscious patterns that influence current behavior
Family Therapy

When Medication Is Part of the Plan
Not everyone needs medication, but for some it is an important part of recovery. Our psychiatrists prescribe and manage:
Psychiatric medication for co-occurring conditions like depression, anxiety, or ADHD. Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT)for opioid use disorder, which reduces cravings and withdrawal symptoms so you can focus on the therapeutic work.Medication decisions are always collaborative. Nothing is prescribed without your understanding and agreement.
