Professional Diagnostic Services, S.C. (PDS) is a private, outpatient clinic specializing in a medical-model approach to opiate addictions' treatment. PDS is committed to providing one-on-one medical attention and services that meet the specific needs of professional and diverse lifestyles. The clinic provides high-quality, medical care in a professional, confidential and safe environment.

Philosophy

The staff of PDS believes that opiate addiction is a disease of the brain, which will not change with the passage of time. Tools are provided for the development of behavior management skills for sober living and assist each person's right of self-determination according to his or her aspirations and capabilities.

Approach

PDS treats patients with a chronic dependency to medically prescribed and recreational forms of opiate derivatives, including heroin, Vicodin, Demerol, Percodan and Lorcet, and other narcotics. In the course of treatment, we use the medication, methadone. Along with supportive services, methadone has been proven to be the most effective medical treatment for opioid addiction.
