Addiction Medicine
Dr. Raskin specializes in the ever-growing field of addiction and substance abuse treatment.
Patients admitted to our treatment program undergo a comprehensive detox regimen which flushes the substance(s) of abuse from the body and prepares the addict for long-term recovery. The process requires the oversight of a specially trained medical professional such as Dr. Raskin. Since the discomfort associated with drug and alcohol withdrawal can be significant, we recommend patients receive comprehensive at our clinic.
Dr. Raskin is certified in the administration of Suboxone® / Sublocade®, a brand name of the drug buprenorphine used to treat opioid dependence. Opioids come in many forms, including heroin and common prescription pain medications such as codeine, morphine, and oxycodone. Today, prescription drug abuse is one of the leading health crises in the United States for adolescents and adults. Sublocade® is an opioid itself, used for the purpose of replacing the illicit drug with a safe alternative. When used under proper medical supervision, Suboxone® can mitigate the worst withdrawal symptoms.
Dr. Raskin is affiliated with premier addiction treatment centers, including Seasons In Malibu and Rise in Malibu. By joining forces, they have successfully treated hundreds of individuals through comprehensive detox.
Treatment for substance abuse and addiction does not end when a patient leaves a rehabilitation facility. Addicted individuals fight a lifelong battle against relapse. For that reason, Dr. Raskin assists patients in their long-term care through tailored relapse prevention. If you or a loved one seeks assistance with recovery, take the first step toward a healthy, independent life.
