He firmly believes that anyone brave enough to enter treatment in order to break free of addiction should be supported, assisted and encouraged to the greatest extent possible.

Dr. David Deyhimy Goes the Extra Step

Dr. Deyhimy also coordinates various aspects of care that go beyond detoxification, including follow-up care with psychiatrists and primary care physicians when necessary.

When appropriate, patients are also offered relapse prevention medications to help decrease cravings and improve the chances for sustained sobriety including Naltrexone and Vivitrol.
