Service Description
Our remote psychiatric evaluations for addiction provide a confidential, compassionate environment to explore your substance use or behavioural addictions. Our psychiatrists specialize in understanding your unique situation, including the history and current impacts of addiction in your life.
These comprehensive assessments serve as the cornerstone for designing personalized treatment and action plans, potentially incorporating medication, therapy, and other supportive interventions.
