Addiction Treatment at Mayo Clinic

Addiction Treatment Staff

A physician with specific training in addictions, called an addiction psychiatrist, coordinates all patient care and the treatment programs. The physician leads a team of addiction specialists who provide comprehensive care for each patient — from initial evaluation, to designing the treatment plan, to program follow-up
