Addiction Psychiatry
At Serene Sound Wellness, our addiction psychiatry services combine evidence-based medication-assisted treatment (MAT) with compassionate psychiatric care. We understand that addiction rarely exists in isolation; it often goes hand in hand with depression, anxiety, trauma, ADHD, or chronic stress. That’s why we take a dual-diagnosis approach, treating both the substance use disorder and any underlying mental health conditions at the same time. Treating one without the other often leads to relapses. Treating both gives you the strongest foundation for lasting recovery.
Your treatment may include FDA-approved medications to reduce cravings and withdrawal symptoms, psychiatric medication management for co-occurring conditions, relapse-prevention planning, and coordinated referrals to counseling, therapy, and community support programs. Every plan is confidential, individualized, and built around your readiness and goals.
Wherever you are in your journey, whether you’re considering changing for the first time or rebuilding after a setback, we will meet you there without judgment.
Frequently Asked Questions
Addiction Psychiatry
MAT uses FDA-approved medications, combined with counseling and psychiatric support, to treat substance use disorders. These medications can reduce cravings and withdrawal symptoms, making it easier to focus on recovery and rebuild your life.

No. You can begin treatment wherever you are in your journey. We’ll work with you to set realistic, achievable goals whether that’s reducing use, achieving abstinence, or preventing relapse.
Yes. Your privacy is protected by federal and state confidentiality laws, and we take it seriously. What you share with us stays with us, with very limited legal exceptions that we’re happy to explain.
