Dr. Ratush is invested in the patients he serves and strategically and collaboratively constructs treatment for each patient based the the specific needs and circumstance. Dr. Ratush believes that successful psychological and addiction recovery is best achieved when his patients make a lifestyle adjustment. For many this means adjusting diet, level of exercise, insight oriented activities such as therapy and a spiritual practice, as well as incorporating helpful medication both herbal and pharmaceutical into their daily lives. As you can imagine this is no small task and thus only those willing to take on such a comprehensive life change will benefit from it. This does not mean that Dr. Ratush will dismiss patients that are not 100% committed to working on all these fronts. Rather it is intended to clearly explain that those that benefit significantly from psychiatric and or addiction treatment put a lot of energy in making their recovery a reality.

Integral to the philosophy of RecoverMD is the concept of collaboration. Dr. Ratush cannot prescribe treatment to any patient without their involvement in the decision process. Such collaboration both empowers those in treatment as well as dramatically increases adherence to a treatment protocol. What this ultimately translates into is better treatment and better outcome. This is why direct honesty is the most effective way to get the help you need. Dr. Ratush chose this field because he believes in helping those who want to help themselves. Only when such a commitment is made real work can be done.

Collaboration is also integral between Dr. Ratush and any other treatment providers. While many services patients need can be obtained directly from Dr. Ratush it is common that Dr. Ratush will refer his patients for treatment with like minded colleagues or providers of your own choosing. In any of these scenarios it is vital to have all those involved in your treatment coordinated in a common direction with a unified goal.

Dr. Ratush is able to see private patients at any of the RecoverMD locations. For more information or to schedule a consultation, please email or call -
