Is Addiction Medicine a Recognized Specialty?
Yes, as of 2016 The American Board of Medical Specialties established Addiction Medicine as a subspecialty.
To become certified in Addiction Medicine, physicians must first complete a residency or fellowship in a primary specialty such as internal medicine, family medicine, or psychiatry. Then, they must complete additional training in Addiction Medicine and pass the board certification exam in Addiction Medicine.
The recognition of Addiction Medicine as a subspecialty reflects the growing recognition of addiction as a chronic medical condition that requires specialized care.
Addiction medicine specialists are trained to provide comprehensive, patient-centered care that addresses both the physical and psychological aspects of addiction.
