Addiction Psychiatry: Substance Use Disorders 

An American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology (ABPN) subspecialty, addiction psychiatry focuses on the evaluation and treatment of individuals with alcohol, drug, or other substance-related disorder, which may co-occur with a psychiatric disorder. Addiction psychiatrists often use a combination of medication and psychotherapy in treatment. They also conduct research on the process of addiction and how it can be prevented. The habitual or compulsive use of psychoactive substances, ranging from tobacco and alcohol to methamphetamine and "club drugs," affects millions of adolescents and adults every year.
