progressive medical center and teaching institution with an
internal medicine residency program. The Department of Psychiatry

a wide range of psychiatric diagnoses including depressive,
anxiety, bipolar, psychotic disorders and those facing challenges
unique to the aging process. The Addiction Recovery Center (ARC) is
a group based outpatient program serving those with substance use
disorders. ARC offers a 4-day per week IOP program as well as less
intensive levels of care. Medication-Assisted Treatments including
buprenorphine-naloxone are offered in addition to medication
management for co-morbid psychiatric diagnoses while patients are
enrolled in the program. The Center for Behavioral and Nutritional

therapy to promote sustainable psychological, behavioral, and
