Carolyn Ann Schuman
Medical Doctor, MD
Verified
Berkeley, CA 94704
I specialize in the confidential, individualized treatment of alcohol and other drug use disorders, including prescription painkillers, other opoids, and alcohol, in the privacy of a medical office. My primary emphasis is working to change often dangerous and destructive patterns of alcohol and drug use. Addiction is a complex, chronic relapsing medical disorder with biological, psychological and social components. Successful treatment strategies may combine strong and supportive therapeutic engagement, medication assistance, psychopharmacologic intervention, psychotherapy, and peer support. Patients advance from addiction to recovery at their own pace. Early progress may be uneven and inconsistent, although it may still be ultimately successful.
