Naltrexone maintenance therapy
We help people who have problems with addictions, substance abuse, chemical dependency, drug abuse, alcoholism, overeating, excessive drinking,
substance misuse, overuse, and cravings. As physicians, we take a medical approach:
- Suboxone for agonist maintenance therapy or
- Medical detoxification and maintenance with naltrexone, an antagonists and/or anti-craving medication and
- A psychological approach based on self help or 12 step recovery programs.
Although we are a treatment facility, we are a private medical practice specializing in addiction medicine.
We provide the compassion and understanding that you'd expect from your personal physician.
We also assist the criminial justice system. Dr. Gooberman has extensive experience in providing
expert testimony in both civil and criminal cases, including possession with intent to distribute, DWI and dram shop cases.
Our treatment methods have been used by courts as alternative sentences. This creates a win-win situation:
it generates financial savings to the criminal justice system, and reduces the terrible impact of the
disease of addiction on people's lives.
