What is addiction, really? It is a sign, a signal, a symptom of distress. It is a language that tells us about a plight that must be understood.

We are a small private practice in the foothills of the Catskills specializing in the treatment of substance use disorders. Our office provides a warm, welcoming, and non-judgmental environment dedicated to the sobriety and recovery of our patients. Although our primary focus is on the opioid crisis, which is ravaging the country at large, we also treat addictions to other substances including alcohol.
Both of us are Members of the American Society of Addiction Medicine and have been Board Certified in Addiction Medicine since 2009. We have been involved in Addiction Medicine for over 20 years and have worked in acute detox, traditional 28-day rehabilitation, and long-term therapeutic community settings. Our practice is committed to providing continuity of care in a personalized manner in order to achieve a deeper appreciation and understanding of our patients. There are many portals through which addictions develop and multiple pathways to recovery. As traumatic adverse life events frequently are the gateway to substance use and dependency, we maintain a treatment environment that is conducive to the healing of trauma. This requires a safe and trusted connection with one’s health care provider as the healing process unfolds.
We recognize that one’s personal pathway to recovery may include Medication Assisted Treatment (MAT). In addition to individual counseling we offer MAT. For the opioid dependent patient, we provide Medications for Opioid Use Disorder (MOUD) in the form of Suboxone, Buprenorphine, and Zubsolv. Additionally, we offer Long-Acting Injectable Buprenorphine (LAIB) in the form of Sublocade and Brixadi. We also provide Vivitrol (monthly injection of extended-release Naltrexone) for both Opioid Use and Alcohol Use Disorders.
We are well-versed in treating our patient's mental and behavioral health comorbidities along with their primary substance use disorders. Together with the patient we determine which option best suits the individual's needs. We also offer adjunct treatment and recovery modalities. There is a labyrinth (a walking meditation) at our Kerhonkson site and patients are encouraged to use it before/after each counseling session to help achieve and maintain focus. We welcome you to exercise the psychological and physiological practice ofshinrin yoku (“forest bathing” or “taking in the forest atmosphere”) along our many nature trails that meander along ponds, pastures, streams, and waterfalls. We also have a sensory deprivation tank (magnesium float tank) that many of our patients have found to be beneficial in calming their minds and stilling their anxieties.
In addition to our Kerhonkson site in Ulster County, we have an office in Margaretville for the convenience of our patients in Delaware County.
The many steps in the journey to recovery are both very personal, yet shared experiences. The need for mutual commitment by both patient and physician on that journey
can not be overstated.
