Buprenorphine provider since 2004

—

Hundreds of patients’ lives dramatically changed using buprenorphine/naloxone combination medications for Opioid Use Disorder.

Patients, having “reached bottom,” who started medication assisted treatment (such as buprenorphine) are now living functional lives, raising children in a drug free home, going to college, earning degrees, succeeding, obtaining promotions at work, marrying, and thriving as never before.

The most common response from our patients after starting buprenorphine/naloxone: 

“I FEEL NORMAL”

Our reply is:  “This is why we do what we do”

About Us

Dr. Garlick has been treating substance use disorders since 1981. His combination of specialties (Addiction Medicine and Internal Medicine) gives a comprehensive perpsective to care for patients with addictive disorders, dealing with the patient’s physical, social and psychological issues in recovery.

Our success in treating patients rests in the philosophy of our approach of using medication assisted therapy, individual and family counseling and coaching recovery models. 

For patients who are motivated for self improvement and recovery, this outpatient setting is ideal for medication assisted therapy and counseling.

We price our sessions reasonably and require as few sessions a month as is safely recommended so that patients do not have a significant financial burden. Our intention is that our patients are able to maintain their abstinence and live fully functional lives with as little stress as is possible.

Dr. Garlick is Board Certified in both Addiction Medicine and in Internal Medicine. Since 1981 he has practiced internal medicine in Denver, Colorado, and was employed as the medical director of an inpatient alcohol rehabilitation center. His interest in the treatment of substance use disorders started early on in his career (he has been certified in Addiction Medicine since 1984). He has been actively involved in treating addictions both in hospital, and in out patient settings. Over 35 plus years Dr. Garlick has been witness to, and part of, Addiction Medicine evolving into an important medical sub-specialty. In 2009, he was one of the first groups of doctors to become Board Certified by the American Board of Addiction Medicine. In 2017 he became a Fellow of the American Society of Addiction Medicine. Dr. Garlick is dedicated to help people out of the distress of their dependencies on substances of abuse.

His interest in coaching developed as a result of successfully helping patients teer their lives to more positive and productive outcomes. He trained with the Co-Active Coaching model and has opened his practice to Coaching for anyone who is trying to express and “find” thems
