Commitment to Patient-Centered Care
“I am committed to making sure you or your loved one receive the best addiction care available; care that is grounded in science with no judgement, moralizing, or unnecessary steps.”
Clinical Expertise
The addictive diseases are the largest preventable cause of death in the world. Like other chronic diseases such as diabetes and hypertension, treatment of addictions requires a wide range of tools including life-style change, behavioral counseling, and life-saving medications. Recent medical advances have brought to the forefront new tools with which to treat addictions. The Addiction Medicine program at Hennepin Healthcare provides the best available treatments for the addictive diseases. Through our ongoing commitment to patient care and research, we combine medical innovation with outstanding clinical skills and have become leaders in addiction treatment.
