The Importance of Psychiatric Services in Treating Addiction

As you begin the journey toward your recovery from substance use disorder, it is important for you to receive help and guidance from those who have experience and knowledge about the condition. Victory Recovery Partners is staffed by experienced psychiatrists, psychiatric nurse practitioners, licensed clinical social workers, and credentialed alcohol and substance use counselors, all working together to ensure proper treatment for our patients. Receiving proper psychiatric care is key for having a successful recovery from addiction. 

Frequently, those who suffer from substance use disorder often have other underlying conditions that contribute to the use. For example, common conditions that co-exist include stress, anxiety, depression, and bipolar disorder. These conditions often lead to substance use, as a means for patients to self-medicate and obtain relief from the symptoms associated with these mental health conditions. 

Psychiatric services, such as those offered by Victory Recovery Partners, help you to identify the underlying issues associated with your addiction, allowing you to develop the tools needed to overcome addiction. 

Victory Recovery Partners offers many types of psychiatric services. This includes psychiatric evaluations, medication management, one-on-one counseling sessions, group therapy, cognitive-behavioral therapy, family therapy, and anger management.  

Psychiatric evaluations act as the first “destination” on your road to recovery from addiction. These evaluations assess your mental well-being, while allowing the provider to determine what types of treatment are best suited to help you recover.  

Upon receiving your psychiatric evaluation, it will be determined if medications will be needed to help you with your treatment. Medication management is a service that ensures that patients are only taking medications that they need, and that the doses are correct. Additionally, medication management ensures that patients’ side effects are being closely and actively monitored.  

As part of your treatment, our individual counseling sessions allow for a safe and comfortable way for patients to receive non-judgmental therapy from licensed mental health professionals. By continually having these one-on-one sessions, patients will learn methods for managing their addictions, allowing them to succeed and recover.  

In addition to individual counseling, our group counseling acts as a form of therapy that gives you the opportunity to interact with others who share similar struggles with addiction. By sharing your experiences with each other, it helps you to realize you are not alone – allowing you to feel supported and accepted. 

Receiving proper psychiatric services is key for a successful recovery from addiction. At Victory Recovery Partners, we offer a number of different services that when combined, provide exceptional results for our patients. Our unique model of having total and complete care under one roof (including behavioral health, wellness, psychiatric, and medication-assisted treatment services), allows our patients to thrive and successfully recover.
