Substance Use Disorders
What are substance use disorders?
We specialize in comprehensive treatment for substance use disorders, recognizing the crucial link between substance abuse and mental health. At Philadelphia Integrative Psychiatry, we go beyond conventional approaches, addressing the entire individual in our efforts to combat substance abuse and addiction. It's essential to acknowledge that underlying mental health issues often drive substance abuse. Unfortunately, the failure to integrate mental health treatments with substance abuse interventions is a common shortcoming in our field. Our commitment lies in bridging this gap by providing holistic care.
What do substance use disorders look like?
Treatment for substance abuse will reflect the needs of the patient we work with, by recommending helpful treatments that may help discontinue or decrease substance abuse. We aim to meet the client where they are in their desire to decrease substances, and work on bolstering internal motivation for change. Our evidence-based treatment for substance use disorders in Pennsylvania is tailored to meet the unique needs of each patient.

“There are many different evidence-based therapeutic modalities that I have used as an Individual, Couples, and Families Therapist. Over time I have found the key to sustaining progress in therapy is helping the individual(s) calm their nervous system. Anything “said” or “done” in traiditional talk therapy cannot be retained unless a person is in a relaxed, regulated, safe space. I find profound change occurs for individuals, couples, and families using the mind-body-soul approach.” - Kristen Ott, MA, LMFT
