We are a virtual clinic licensed in Texas, New York, California, Washington, New Mexico, and Iowa, offering compassionate and confidential care for individuals struggling with substance use disorder across these states.
Addiction or substance use disorder is a complex and challenging condition that revolves around an individual’s profound struggle to regulate and control the consumption of a compulsive substance. This persistent pattern persists despite the recognition of its detrimental impact on physical health, mental well-being, and overall quality of life. The compelling nature of addiction often overrides rational decision-making, leading to a cycle of dependency that is difficult to break.
Substance use disorder occurs when the repeated use of alcohol or drugs causes clinically significant impairment, including health problems, disability, and failure to meet major responsibilities at work, school, or home. Addiction is not a lack of willpower—it is a treatable medical condition that affects decision-making, behavior, and emotional regulation. Whether you’re struggling with dependency, withdrawal, or relapse, support is available.
Recovery is possible with a personalized treatment plan and the right tools in place.
Symptoms may vary depending on the substance and severity, but often include:
If you or a loved one are experiencing any of these signs, early treatment can lead to better long-term outcomes.
Our virtual assessment begins with a confidential consultation to understand your substance use history, related symptoms, and personal challenges. We use clinical interviews and structured screening tools to evaluate the severity of the disorder and determine the appropriate level of care. We also assess for co-occurring mental health conditions like anxiety, depression, or trauma, which often occur alongside substance use.
At Polished Mind Psychiatry, we take an integrated and individualized approach to treatment. We work closely with you to develop a care plan that addresses both the physical and emotional aspects of addiction.
Your personalized treatment plan may include:
