RICHMOND, Va., April 27, 2020 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- The Coleman Institute for Addiction Medicine, a BayMark Health Services company, is honored to have National Medical Director and company founder Dr. Peter Coleman voted a Top Doc in Addiction Medicine for 2020. Richmond Magazine introduced the category of Addiction Medicine into its Top Docs feature for the first time in 2014. Since then, Dr. Coleman has been selected every year as one of the top 5 addiction specialists based on voting by other medical professionals, indicating his continued excellence in the field.
An innovative center for addiction treatment, The Coleman Institute is a highly effective, medically-supervised detoxification treatment center for opioids, alcohol and benzodiazepines. The withdrawal management program, known as an Accelerated Opioid Detox, uses medication to comfortably and quickly remove opiates from a patient's system. The combination of detoxification and long-term support, including Naltrexone therapy and ongoing case management, provides patients with an individualized pathway into recovery.
Dr. Coleman's commitment to the field stems from his personal struggle with addiction. He shares his story to offer hope to others, and has dedicated his life to developing treatment protocols that help patients get into long-term recovery with Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) that does not rely on addictive substances.
"I'm humbled to be included among the outstanding physicians on this list, but even more so to have been blessed with the opportunity to help in the recoveries of so many people." shares Dr. Coleman. "Unfortunately, there remains a huge need for evidence-based addiction treatment programs, and I want to continue to do my part in providing compassionate solutions to those in need."
