Long-term use of alcohol or drugs can lead to addiction, a chronic condition that interferes with everyday activities and the ability to function. People with addictions may not be aware that their behavior is causing problems for themselves and others.
ÃÛÌÒ´«Ã½ Langone doctors diagnose addiction after performing a physical examination, taking a medical history, and conducting a toxicology screening. Based on the results of this diagnostic evaluation, the person and his or her family decide if they’d like to schedule a consultation with an ÃÛÌÒ´«Ã½ Langone specialist to discuss treatment.
ÃÛÌÒ´«Ã½ Langone specialists refer people addicted to alcohol or drugs to a local treatment program. After the person completes treatment, ÃÛÌÒ´«Ã½ Langone psychiatrists provide counseling to help the person recover.
