Addiction Treatment

About

At Mayo Clinic, a doctor with specific training in the treatment of addiction, called an addiction psychiatrist, coordinates the treatment programs and all of your care. The doctor leads a team of addiction specialists who provide comprehensive care for each person — from initial evaluation, to designing the treatment plan, to program follow-up. The ratio of one addiction staff person for every four patients ensures that you receive the individual attention necessary to accomplish your treatment goals.
