Substance abuse and addiction is one of the most prevalent healthcare crises effecting the United States right now. According to the National Survey on Drug Use and Health (NSDUH), 19.7 million American adults (aged 12 and older) battled a substance use disorder in 2017. The opioid crisis alone is responsible for 130 overdose deaths every day.

Addiction specialists are addiction medicine physicians and addiction psychiatrists who hold either:

• subspecialty board certification in addiction medicine from the American Board of Preventive Medicine (ABPM)
• subspecialty board certification in addiction psychiatry from the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology (ABPN)
• board certification in addiction medicine from the American Board of Addiction Medicine (ABAM)
• Certificate of Added Qualification in Addiction Medicine conferred by the American Osteopathic Association (AOA)

Addiction Medicine is concerned with the prevention, evaluation, diagnosis, treatment, and recovery of persons with the disease of addiction, of those with substance-related health conditions, and of people who show unhealthy use of substances including nicotine, alcohol, prescription medications and other licit and illicit drugs. Physicians in this subspecialty also help family members whose health and functioning are affected by a loved one’s substance use or addiction.
