Contact UsWhat Is Substance Abuse?
Substance abuse (or substance use disorder) is when a person misuses any kind of drug, legal or illicit. Substance use disorder can affect a person's brain chemistry and behavior. As a result of their addiction, they may struggle to control their use of drugs, medications, or alcohol, creating the potential for short- and long-term damage to their health and impacting their relationships.
There is no shame in seeking help if you are suffering because of a substance use disorder. At Ignite Psychiatry, we specialize in treating substance abuse and other mental health issues via telepsychiatry or in person. The team at our Lubbock, TX office will listen to your concerns and help build a personalized treatment plan to help you understand and manage your addiction. To learn more, reach out and schedule a consultation with our providers.
How Do You Diagnose and Manage Substance Abuse Disorders?
During your private counseling session, our team will learn more about your substance use habits and the effects they've had on your life, including your relationships, career, school, and more. We might also order blood tests or other diagnostic exams to give our team a better picture of your overall wellness. Many times, a patient struggling with substance use disorder is also living with another mental health issue (like depression or anxiety). Depending on your situation, we might take a combined approach that can include cognitive behavioral therapy, prescription medications, and detoxification to help you manage your addiction and alleviate any symptoms of withdrawal you may experience.
Ignite Psychiatry Reviews
Katie Brandon is the best Doctor I have ever had the privilege of seeing. She helped me change my life and got ME to get my life back on track. She will actually listen to you, treat you like a person and figure out the best route to help you, according to your specific needs. And if she can’t do something specific that you want, she will refer you to the best person that she knows of to help you. I don’t know what more you would want out of a doctor, other than that.
Was able to set up appointment quickly Provider able to answer all my questions and concerns
Katie Wheeler has been a lifesaver for our family. My husband suffers from mental illness and addiction. It is very difficult to find professionals that are capable of finding the right medications and therapies and who are also kind and caring. Katie has those qualities, plus she's intelligent, intuitive and a great listener. We know we can depend on Katie for appointments and help when needed.
Katie Brandon and associates have been the most compassionate, wonderful, easy to talk to professionals I have ever been to. You’ll never find someone else that is so willing to help you change your life for the better. She goes out of her way to make sure you are taken care of as a patient, isn’t that what we all want in a doctor? I could not recommend her and her practice enough. 10/10
Katie is absolutely amazing and my guardian angel! Having anxiety and depression is an absolute nightmare. I was in an extremely dark place way past what I could handle. She helped me not only out of that dark place, but still keeps me from going back. I would not be where I am today without her. Katie has helped me to be a successful business owner, a better father, better husband, and most importantly the best version of myself. Thank you for everything!
