ADDICTION TREATMENT IN MANLIUS, NY

Integrative support for lasting recovery and a meaningful life.

You are here because of a quiet realization: this is no longer working

From the outside, your life may look intact. You show up to work, meet expectations, and keep things moving. Inside, substance use has become a way to manage pressure, quiet anxiety, achieve sleep, or get through another demanding day.

You may tell yourself it’s “under control” because nothing has completely fallen apart. Yet the mental math, self-monitoring, and quiet worry are exhausting.

You’ve begun to notice subtle shifts. Needing more to get the same effect. Thinking about cutting back and not following through. Getting angry when others notice your use. Feeling increasingly disconnected from yourself and the people you care about. The fear isn’t always about addiction itself, but about what it would mean to admit you need help—loss of privacy, professional consequences, or being seen as weak.

You’re tired of feeling caught in this cycle:

Performing at a high level while quietly relying on substances to get through the day
Spending more energy managing the problem than living your life
Telling yourself it’s not serious yet, and hoping nothing happens that forces the issue

how i can help

Addiction treatment that goes beyond just managing use to address what’s truly driving it.

Imagine addressing substance use with a clinician who understands both the psychology and the physiology of addiction. As a board-certified addiction medicine physician and integrative psychiatrist, I bring medical, psychiatric, and relational depth to addiction treatment for high-functioning professionals. This allows us to look beyond surface behaviors and address what substances are doing for you, what they are costing you, and what your mind and body actually need to heal.

Treatment includes thoughtful use of medication-assisted treatment when appropriate, alongside psychotherapy that explores patterns, stressors, and the personal meaning behind substance use. At the same time, we attend to physical health factors that are often overlooked in standard care, including sleep, nutrition, exercise, and the physiologic effects of substances on your body.

The goal is not simply abstinence, but recovery that is sustainable.

Together, we work toward a life that no longer requires substances to function. One grounded in clarity, connection, and a renewed sense of purpose that fits the realities of a demanding personal and professional life.

imagine if you…

Understood the psychological and biological drivers behind your substance use

✓

Together, we look beneath the behavior to the emotional, physical, and situational factors that made substances necessary, so change is thoughtful, sustainable, and grounded in insight rather than willpower.

Could use medication-assisted treatment safely and strategically to support recovery

✓

As a board-certified addiction medicine physician and psychiatrist, I use medication-assisted treatment thoughtfully as part of a broader plan that also addresses meaning, patterns, and whole-body health.

Felt connected, purposeful and engaged in your life

✓

Our work focuses not just on stopping a behavior, but on building a life that feels steady, rooted, and worth staying present for.

I want you to know:

You don’t have to navigate this alone.

My approach to addiction treatment is relational, unhurried, and deeply personalized. This is care designed for people who are used to functioning at a high level—and who deserve support that meets them with respect, discretion, and clinical depth.

Common questions about addiction treatment

I provide ongoing outpatient psychiatric care, psychotherapy, and medication-assisted treatment (MAT) using medications such as naltrexone, acamprosate, disulfiram and buprenorphine (Suboxone). Treatment focuses on both the psychological and biological aspects of addiction, helping you rebuild a sustainable, meaningful life.
For carefully screened individuals with limited medical concerns, a home detox with daily physician visits can be an option. You would need to identify a sober support person and may also need to secure home nursing support, but I can guide you through whether this approach is safe and appropriate for your situation. Reach out to discuss if this is a good fit for you.
If higher-level care becomes necessary, I support transitions to inpatient or residential programs and help you reintegrate into outpatient treatment when you’re ready.
MAT can help reduce cravings, prevent relapse, and support a smoother recovery journey. I use medications strategically and safely, integrated with therapy, to address both the biological and psychological drivers of substance use.
I create personalized relapse-prevention strategies that fit real professional demands and schedules. Our work includes understanding stressors unique to high-functioning individuals and helping you maintain recovery while continuing to thrive in your career.
Relapse-prevention is a key part of my approach. We develop practical strategies that fit the demands of your personal and professional life, combining therapy, medication, and lifestyle supports. The goal is to anticipate challenges, reduce risk, and build confidence in sustaining your recovery long-term.
Participation in 12-step programs or other support groups is optional but can be a helpful complement to individualized care. My approach is flexible and collaborative, focusing on what will most effectively support your long-term recovery and personal goals. My own experience supporting patients and loved ones in recovery is that some aspect of peer support is essential to long-term success.
Treatment length varies based on your goals, history, and professional demands. Some patients need short-term support during critical transitions, while others benefit from ongoing medication management and therapy to maintain long-term recovery. My approach is flexible and individualized, so we design a plan that fits your life while giving you the tools to sustain meaningful, lasting change.
