Do You Really Know Who Is Delivering Your Alcoholism Or Addiction Treatment?

For those suffering from addiction to alcohol, pills or other drugs, professional treatment is often the best option. But there are so many different people calling themselves Addiction Specialists, many with unclear, questionable credentials and training. Do patients really know if they are getting the best treatment available?

Addictions and alcoholism are diseases that affect both the medical and psychological aspects of a person. It is not possible to give outstanding treatment unless the clinician deals with the entire nature of the disorder. Ignore one aspect over the other, and you have a sure set-up for poor treatment, states Stephen Gilman, M.D., a respected expert on alcoholism recovery and addiction treatment. General physicians are not experienced dealing with the psychological issues, and therapists have no ability to use the new medications for alcoholism and pill dependence. Even worse, there are people rendering treatment with no formal medical or psychological training, using recovery from their own addiction as their only credential.

Stephen is a powerful, informative interview. He will tell your audience:
The three questions you must ask before entering addiction treatment
The truth about the new medications for alcoholism and pill addiction
The only addiction specialist certification recognized by the American Board of Medical Specialists
How to find a qualified clinician in your area in less than 3 minutes.

Dr. Gilman is a board certified Addiction Psychiatrist in NYC, is on the faculty of a major NYC medical school, and consultant to numerous substance abuse rehabilitation facilities. He has been interviewed for the print and radio media, and is an author and speaker on addiction topics.

Dr. Gilman has written a fact-filled report: "The 7 Major Mistakes People Make In Alcohol And Addiction Treatment - And What You Must Do About Them Right Now!". Anyone who would like a copy can get it free by visiting http://www.alcoholism-treatment-recovery.com
