Addiction Medicine:

Addiction is a medical condition — not a weakness. At Medicus Health Clinics, we understand that recovery is a journey, and we’re here to provide expert, compassionate care every step of the way. Our addiction medicine services focus on evidence-based treatments that support long-term healing and healthier living.

🌟 Why Addiction Medicine Matters

Substance use disorders can impact every part of life — physical health, relationships, work, and emotional wellbeing. Without treatment, addiction can lead to serious health complications such as liver disease, heart disease, infections, and mental health disorders.

Addiction medicine offers medical and behavioral strategies to help patients achieve recovery and regain control of their lives.

🚨 Common Conditions Treated in Addiction Medicine

Our specialists provide support for a range of substance-related conditions, including:

• Alcohol dependence
• Opioid use disorder
• Prescription medication misuse
• Stimulant addiction (cocaine, methamphetamines)
• Nicotine and tobacco dependence

💡 Supporting Recovery at Home
