Difficult to treat cases and ADDICTION CARE
WHY CALL US? My team and I are available and will help you if we possibly can! 949 4899898
Mark Kosins, M.D. We specialize in innovative diagnosis and treatment planning. Our approach is to combine conventional and alternative medicine using the modality that will work best for you. When appropriate (and when you are comfortable with this approach), we use supplements to augment or replace the need for high doses of medication. At the same time we will combine medications and or supplements based upon your symptoms. We do not believe that you must comply with my plan for care. Instead, our approach is to partner with you regarding a plan of action that makes sense. We specialize in a wide variety of behavioral, learning and emotional problems for children, teenagers and adults. I have a reputation for evaluating and treating difficult diagnoses and chemical imbalances that may cause underachievement, school failure, depression, obsessive-compulsive disorders, bi-polar disorders, panic and anxiety, aggressiveness and brain toxicity from drugs and/or alcohol abuse.
Serving all of Southern California for Addiction Care.Tlhis is just a part of what we do. It is included in the care we provide for people with ADHD, Bi polar disorder, depression, anxiety, and other conditions that lead them to use drugs and alcohol to self medicate.
We specialize in dealing with the addict to help the individual detox and get clean off all opiates, uppers, downers, benzo's, and alcohol. We use the latest techniques and treatments to make you comfortable and successful. One of the special things we do is to utilize Suboxone for a opiate detox. This is a sublingual opiate that makes a detox very safe and comfortable. Most people can function from the second day on. FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
- "What is the best aftercare plan?"
- The best plan is one that is designed specifically for your needs. The things to consider include:
- Who is involved in your support group?
- Are you employed?
- Do you have special needs?
- The list could go on to include things such as: do you have pets, are you married, do you have children, do you have legal problems, etc. Any and all of these should be taken into consideration in your treatment plan.
- "What if I have a dual-diagnosis, such as depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, etc.?"
- A dual-diagnosis should not be taken lightly/many people in the initial stages of recovery look depresses, feel anxious or have strange thoughts or dreams.
- A dual-diagnosis should not be established to accommodate your insurance plan. It should only be made after a careful evaluation and history is taken. Rarely does one develop a new mental problem after they become clean and sober (after detox).
- We know that many people have the illness of substance abuse. if we look at the medical model it becomes apparent that many individuals become involved in substance abuse because of underlying depression or anxiety. If this is the case, then it too should be treated during recovery.
- An astute psychiatrist and his/her team should be ready and able to handle almost any situation or emotional condition in a non-hospital setting. Only the most serious situation need an expensive/restrictive hospital setting. If this occurs, it should be for the least time possible.
- "Everyone says their plan is the best. What questions should I ask?"
- Does the treatment plan fit my needs?
- Where will I live?
- What will happen to me?
- Does the physician specialize in substance abuse?
- How are my relatives and loved ones involved in my care?
- How are my legal and job related issues taken into account and so on...
- Any other questions? Call now! The only dumb questions are the ones not asked!
