Psychiatric Services and Psychopharmacology

This service is provided by Dr. Leonardo Vando, Board Certified Psychiatrist with years of experience treating participants with mental illness and substance use issues such as opiate dependency. If you’re struggling to overcome opiate dependency, you are aware that the experience can sometimes be overwhelming. 

Our psychiatric services include individual counseling, psychiatric evaluations, psychopharmacology as well as medication management, monitoring and adherence.  Buprenorphine (Suboxone) treatment is also available. This is a partial opiate antagonist that blocks other opioids from attaching to receptors in the brain and is only available by prescription. These services are free of charge and are provided in strict confidentiality.
