The disease of addiction is complex and painful. It is characterized by shame and guilt which contributes to a delay in seeking treatment. Many people use substances to function each day and fear what will happen if the don’t have it. As a psychiatrist trained in addictions I have developed my private practice with this in mind by providing outpatient detoxification and aftercare services in a private and confidential setting that is medically safe. Outpatient detoxification is for people who do not need inpatient but still need supervised medical attention to get through withdrawal. We do this with a team of professionals skilled in addictions. Our goal is to provide a safe withdrawal and teach the skills needed to prevent relapse. I am also the Medical Director of the Maternal Addiction Unit at Plantation General Hospital, the outpatient program at University Pavilion Hospital in Tamarac and the rehabilitation program at Challenges in Margate. While in Charleston, SC., I ran case studies on smoking cessation. A new medication called Chantix has proven to be effective along with behavior modification to prevent relapse. We can develop individualized programs to help pregnant women with psychological and homeopathic treatment. Earlier in my career I practiced as a family physician in the West Indies for 12 years where I treated many alcoholics on a daily basis. At that time treatment was very limited and frustrating for the physician as well as the patient. I am proud to say that medicine has made substantial progress in the field of addictions. Research now supports that addiction is a medical disease and pharmacotherapy measures have been developed.Medications such as Campral, Vivitrol, Revia, and Suboxone are options available along with therapy and self help groups. In a private and confidential setting there is no need to delay seeking help any longer.

Our helpline, 800.960.5041, features addiction counselors who can assist you with any information about our programs, locations, and help for a family member or friend. We welcome calls from anyone whos life has been afflicted by addiction. Please call today.

Some twenty years back our founder was caught in the hopeless cycle of extreme narcotic addiction. When he finally kicked his monstrous habit it was in a cold generic hospital-type environment with limited narcotics and a staff that did not understand his chronic discomfort. The experience was very harsh consisting of over thirty days of sleeplessness and constant anxiety. He dreamed then of one day creating a haven where addicts and alcoholics could withdraw in comfort and avoid the kicking phenomena that he found so indescribably miserable. He felt that no addict deserved to suffer a ruthless cold turkey and Summer House is this dream realized.
