Those with substance abuse have nearly

40% rate of having a psychiatric illness as well. If

untreated, achieving sobriety is much more

difficult. Dr. Slightam is very meticulous in

assessing patients to address ALL the diagnoses

in his patients. They then have the choice to

continue with medication monitoring with him or,

if not too complicated, by their primary care

physician. He is a welcome part of the team at

A Walk to Freedom.
