[Hollaatme]

Anyone ever been to an addiction psychiatrist?  I have an appt. For a Dr. Burgoyne in Chandler,AZ ....I am going to get checked out and get an opinion on suboxone or other ways to get off methadone ...anyone have a good or bad experience with an addiction psychiatrist?

sorry, i just had to say that

i went to a counselor for quite a while . . . well into my third year of recovery.  he was a big help to me.

i don't think that going to a shrink or counselor is alone a sufficient recovery program, but it's a great addition to any program.

              You will talk for a while about your problem the Doc. will try to analyze your situation.  It will take a few visits for treatment but he or she will come up with a plan to suit you.  And you can tell him or her what you want to try and a decision will be made.  Ive been there good to talk to a addictions specialist they no there business.
