General Practitioners for Naltrexone I have a drinking problem that's starting to get out of control, but would prefer other options before inpatient rehab. Does anyone...

I can’t offer any doctors’ names, but I hope you can find someone who does. The fact that you’re willing to say it’s getting out of control says a lot about who you are as a person. Good luck!

Ahmed Ibrahim, MD on Shallowford Road. Or, the VA if you happen to be a veteran. Or, call Valley Respond line and ask about an outpatient referral for addiction psychiatry services/naltrexone 423-499-2300. Offering encouragement in your journey!

I believe several mental health clinics offer both. I know that Helen Ross McNabb does near the zoo. Source: I used to work there

I believe Lynette Pinson at Johnson Mental Health Center can prescribe and give the injections. The address is 420 West Bell Ave. and the phone number is 634-8884. I used to work there. Best of luck!!!

Kratom took away my want for alcohol. r/kratom is a great resource for information and lots of posts on there about others claiming the same thing as me.
I tried Dr. Ibrahim at one point but he told me how to get the most out of my bupe pills and it got me fucked up way more than any oxycodone and even more addicted due to his prescribed route of administration.
I've been through a 1 year program in ringgold that I was able to graduate but only with the help of kratom.
Its ok to try things that provide risk reduction for your overall situation and Don't let anyone tell you any different. If it works for you then it works. Time and experience will heal your soul so don't let anyone push their beliefs on you if it makes you uncomfortable. If you were advertise the fact you going through all of this to your friends or social media then your going to be smacked with so much religious stuff but please know your the only one that can help YOU.
If you need any advice or help pm me

You can try HAMs or just do a chemical detox. Take it from me a professional alcoholic, screw any programs. I don't want to say just be a drunk but how bad has it affected your life? Fuck anyone here that isn't a pre or post alcoholic. I'm a source of info more than any of these people.

Can anyone recommend a general practitioner in Chattanooga?!
Angela S. replied:
Everyone at the Center for Integrative Medicine (on Main Street) is great, but there is something like a 9-12 month waiting period for new patients. I have had very good luck with UT Family Practice (on the corner of 3 rd street and Central, kiddy-corner from Erlanger).
