Substance Use Treatment
Psychiatric Staffing for Substance Use & Co-Occurring Disorder Treatment
- MAT
- Detox
- Dual Diagnosis
Overview
Providers Matched to Complex Clinical Presentations
Substance use treatment programs often serve patients with both substance use disorders and co-occurring mental health conditions, creating a need for psychiatric providers who are comfortable treating complex clinical presentations. Depending on the program, those needs may include psychiatric evaluations, medication management, medication-assisted treatment (MAT), or medical oversight within detox and withdrawal-management services.
IPC provides psychiatrists and psychiatric nurse practitioners for residential and outpatient substance use treatment programs, dual-diagnosis programs, and detox settings. Providers are selected based on each program's clinical needs and patient population, and when a program requires additional expertise, IPC can recruit providers with MAT experience or additional qualifications in addiction or family medicine.

The Challenge
Why Substance Use Programs Need More Than a Filled Schedule
Substance use programs recruit from an already limited psychiatric workforce while often needing providers comfortable treating both substance use and co-occurring psychiatric conditions.
-
Specialized qualifications.
Depending on the level of care, programs may need experience in MAT, detox, or withdrawal management.
-
Admission capacity.
Gaps in psychiatric coverage can limit admissions and delay evaluations.
-
Strained teams.
Delayed medication management adds pressure on existing clinical staff.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Have a question that isn't answered here? Call (620) IPC-CALL or send us a message.
Can IPC provide clinicians with MAT or addiction treatment expertise?
Yes. When a program requires MAT or other addiction treatment experience, IPC can recruit psychiatrists and psychiatric nurse practitioners with relevant backgrounds and qualifications, and, when the clinical model calls for it, providers with additional certification or experience in addiction medicine, family medicine, or other relevant areas.
Can IPC support detox or withdrawal management programs?
Yes. IPC can support detox and withdrawal-management settings with psychiatric providers and, when required, appropriately qualified clinicians with additional medical or addiction-related expertise.
Can coverage flex around our admission schedule rather than a fixed weekly block?
Yes. IPC develops coverage models that align with clinical needs, admission patterns, program operations, and provider availability.
What is a co-occurring disorder?
A co-occurring disorder, also called a dual diagnosis, is when a person has both a substance use disorder and a mental health condition, such as depression or anxiety. Treating both together typically requires psychiatric expertise alongside addiction treatment.
