According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, more than 46 million Americans experienced a substance use disorder in the past year. Addiction treatment, also known as addiction medicine, diagnoses and treats substance use disorder (SUD) related to alcohol, prescription medications, and other substances.
At Andrew’s Compassionate Legacy, addiction treatment centers on understanding your experiences and helping you build a path to recovery. Care focuses on personalized treatment that supports your health, goals, and long-term well-being.
Dr. Hardage-Athetis combines medical care with evidence-based therapies, including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and person-centered therapy (PCT).
Through compassionate care, medical guidance, and practical support, addiction treatment can help you manage cravings, address withdrawal symptoms, and build healthier coping strategies. The goal is to help you feel more stable, informed, and supported as you work toward lasting recovery.
When you begin addiction treatment, Dr. Hardage-Athetis focuses on getting to know you as a whole person, discussing your substance use history, overall health, and challenges at a secure telehealth visit.
After a comprehensive evaluation to better understand your needs, she creates a personalized care plan. If needed, your plan can include referrals for counseling or additional support services.
Many treatment plans incorporate CBT to help identify triggers, manage cravings, and develop healthier coping skills. PCT ensures that your treatment environment is supportive, respectful, and tailored to your personal goals.
Throughout treatment, Dr. Hardage-Athetis schedules follow-up visits to monitor your progress and adjusts your care plan as needed, supporting you through each stage of recovery.
If you feel stuck, out of control, or concerned about your health, you deserve support and clear solutions. Many people seek addiction medicine care when substance use begins affecting their relationships, work, emotional well-being, or overall quality of life.
At Andrew’s Compassionate Legacy, you don’t have to face these challenges alone. Dr. Hardage-Athetis provides compassionate addiction care that combines medical expertise with evidence-based therapies like CBT and PCT to support meaningful, lasting change.
No matter how many times you’ve sought recovery, or if this is the first time you’re taking this step, it’s possible with empathy and support.
