The good news is that no matter how severe the alcohol or drug problem may seem, most people with a substance use disorder can benefit from some form of treatment. In the past, society viewed alcoholism and drug addiction as a moral flaw: popular ?treatments? involved imprisonment, sentencing to asylums, and church-guided prayer. Not surprisingly, these methods were generally ineffective. Today, we understand that addiction is a brain disease characterized by fundamental and long-lasting changes in the brain. Like other chronic diseases, addiction can be managed successfully, and modern treatments are based on scientific research, enabling people to counteract addiction's powerful disruptive effects on the brain and behavior and to regain control of their lives. Today's methods are very effective, with 40-70% of patients getting treatment for drug abuse remaining drug-free and about one-third of those who are treated for alcohol problems having no further symptoms one year later. Many others substantially reduce their drinking and report fewer alcohol-related problems. All patients accepted to participate in our Treatment Program must agree to adhere to the Policies and Protocols of the program strictly and be genuinely interested in sobriety from addictive substances. I earned my Doctor of Medicine degree from the University of Missouri, Kansas City, which has provided me with a strong foundation to understand and treat substance use disorders with compassion and evidence-based care.
