Part 2: CUTV News Radio Welcomes Back Addiction Psychiatrist Dr. Edward Paul

New York, NY - We are in the midst of staggering Opioid epidemic crisis. In the United States more than 130 people a day die tragically from opioid related drug overdoses stemming from serious addictions. Opiates are derived from the poppy plant and include morphine and heroin. Synthetic opioids include OxyContin, Dilaudid, and fentanyl. Dr. Paul is extremely passionate about these issues.

“I treat all substance abuse disorders including opioid use disorders, cocaine and other stimulant use disorders, alcohol use disorders, cannabis use disorders, tobacco use disorders, and crystal meth,” says Dr. Paul. “I also treat trauma, anxiety, and mood disorders associated with substance abuse.”

Dr. Paul is a 1978 graduate of Harvard University and in 1982 he earned an MD from the Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons. In 1987, he came Board Certified in Psychiatry through the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology. In 2003 he was in the first group of Doctors to become board certified in Addiction Psychiatry. He serves as a clinical associate professor in New York University’s Department of Psychiatry. Dr. Paul has been named as Top Doctor by Castle Connolly for over 25 years and then named as one of the 50 Addiction Psychiatrists in U.S News and World Report.

“I have always loved helping people, and solving knotty problems,” says Dr. Paul. “I have a great deal of compassion for suffering souls.”

“The bottom line is that addiction treatment is effective,” says Dr. Paul. “The pharmacologic treatment, and improvement in psychotherapies is skyrocketing “
