Depression, anxiety, trauma and sleep problems are treated alongside the substance use, not after it.

Good to know
More about substance use treatment
Substance use disorder is a medical condition, not a moral failing. It often appears alongside anxiety, depression, trauma or ADHD, and treating both at the same time gives the best chance of lasting recovery.
Dr. Tikum has years of experience caring for patients with substance use and addiction-related disorders. Care is confidential and built around your goals, whether that is cutting back, stopping, or staying in recovery.
Your privacy
Substance use treatment records can carry extra protections under federal law. We do not share them with an employer, school or anyone else without your written permission, except where the law requires it.
Common questions
Do I have to stop completely before I come in?
No. You can come in wherever you are. We will talk about your goals and what is safe for you.
What should I do in an overdose emergency?
Call 911. Naloxone (Narcan) reverses opioid overdoses and is sold without a prescription. Keeping it at home is a good idea if anyone in the household uses opioids.
