Understanding Addiction as a Medical Condition
Addiction is a complex medical condition rooted in changes to brain structure and function, not a reflection of character or willpower. At Tresna Psychiatry, we apply a deep understanding of how substances impact neurotransmitters, reward systems, and cognitive processes. This scientific insight guides every step of care, including medication choices and therapeutic strategies.
About Addiction Treatment
At Tresna Psychiatry, addiction treatment is a collaborative and personalized journey rooted in whole-person care. We partner with you to develop a recovery plan that aligns with your goals, values, and lived experience. This approach looks beyond substance use to consider how addiction has affected your relationships, work, sense of purpose, and overall quality of life.
Our Philosophy
At Tresna Psychiatry, we treat addiction as a medical condition that requires a personalized and evidence-based approach. Our philosophy combines Medication-Assisted Treatment using FDA-approved medications like buprenorphine and naltrexone with therapy methods such as cognitive-behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing, and relapse prevention. With expertise in psychopharmacology and co-occurring disorders, our team provides safe, effective care tailored to each individual. We also recognize the importance of family support and offer resources to help loved ones heal alongside the recovery process.

Our Services Include
We recognize that meaningful progress in substance or behavioral addiction recovery often requires multiple forms of support working together. While psychotherapy and medication are essential for many, additional layers of care may be necessary depending on the individual’s needs.
This can include participation in structured recovery groups such as 12-Step programs or SMART Recovery with the guidance of a sponsor, support from a sober companion in your daily environment, or short-term stays in therapeutic communities, detox programs, or residential treatment facilities. Our team will help you determine which combination of resources best supports your recovery journey.

Your answers to
popular questions
We understand this concern. The medications we use in treatment are non-habit-forming and clinically proven to reduce cravings and withdrawal symptoms. When used correctly, they support recovery rather than replace one substance with another.
Not necessarily. Medication-Assisted Treatment is highly individualized. Some patients benefit from long-term use, while others taper to lower doses or eventually discontinue. The decision is made collaboratively, based on what works best for your recovery and well-being
Suboxone is a sublingual medication used to treat opioid use disorder. It is a modern alternative to methadone and typically has fewer side effects. Suboxone helps prevent relapse and supports recovery by stabilizing brain chemistry without the same level of dependency risk
For patients who have difficulty sticking to a daily regimen, we offer long-acting monthly injection options like Sublocade or Vivitrol. These medications provide consistent coverage and reduce the risk of relapse due to missed doses
Outpatient detox is a medically supervised withdrawal process done outside of a hospital setting. It may be right for individuals who cannot take time off work or who do not need inpatient care. These regimens are highly customized and monitored closely by our team
Yes. We specialize in safe tapering of controlled substances, including benzodiazepines and stimulants. Whether you are overmedicated or on a subtherapeutic dose, we evaluate your needs and adjust your regimen with care and precision
Absolutely. Behavioral addictions activate the same reward pathways in the brain as substance use. We provide therapy, medication when appropriate, and structured support for conditions such as gambling addiction, compulsive sexual behavior, and video game overuse
We often recommend additional supports such as recovery groups like 12-Step or SMART Recovery, sober companions, or referrals to therapeutic communities when appropriate. Recovery is most successful when approached from multiple angles tailored to your needs.
