Addiction Psychiatry and Patient Care Approach
Addiction psychiatry combines general psychiatric assessment with specialized knowledge of substance use disorders.

Dr. Angres has written extensively about individualized treatment and the importance of understanding psychological and personality factors during recovery. His published work also includes research involving physicians with substance use disorders and psychiatric comorbidity.
