Addiction psychiatry is an ABMS-approved certified subspecialty of psychiatry that prepares physicians, who are already board certified in general psychiatry, to provide comprehensive care for substance use disorders and related conditions. Addiction medicine physicians are board-certified in another medical specialty (e.g. internal medicine, family medicine, psychiatry and others), prior to meeting requirements for board certification by the American Board of Addiction Medicine. The addiction medicine physician provides medical care within the bio-psycho-social framework for persons with addiction, for the individual with substance-related health conditions, for persons who manifest unhealthy substance use, and for family members whose health and functioning are affected by another’s substance use or addiction.
