Addiction Psychiatrist :

An addiction psychiatrist is a mental health doctor who specialises in treating patients who are addicted to various substances or behaviours. Addiction psychiatrists are best known for treating problems like alcohol and smoking addictions. However, they can also manage problems with other drugs and substances, and also help patients become free of negative behaviours.

The qualifications of an addiction psychiatrist include an MBBS and an MD in Psychiatry. Some addiction psychiatrist may pursue further qualifications such as DM or do a fellowship to hone their skills.

Addiction psychiatrists can use a number of techniques to analyze an individual and identify the type of addiction they have. The treatment provided by these specialists usually involves therapies and medications. However, if an addiction is severe, then these doctors may recommend inpatient treatment (rehabilitation). It is important to consult these specialists when symptoms like uncontrollable urges and withdrawal symptoms occur.
