ADDICTION PSYCHIATRIST, MEDICAL DIRECTOR
George Kolodner, M.D.
Distinguished Life Fellow American Psychiatric Association, Distinguished Fellow American Society of Addiction Medicine
Dr. George Kolodner has been working to improve access to effective treatment for people with alcohol and drug problems since 1973, when he established the first outpatient addiction rehabilitation treatment program. That model, called “intensive outpatient” or “IOP,” has become a cornerstone of current addiction treatment in this country. Now extending this work with a focus on addiction to nicotine, he has designed an innovative treatment program that builds on traditional methods of addressing other addictive substances.
Dr. Kolodner was recently appointed the Chair of the Nicotine and Tobacco Special Interest Group of the American Society of Addiction Medicine. He is also a Clinical Professor of Psychiatry at Georgetown University School of Medicine.
