Addiction is a medical condition, not a moral failure. At LA Integrative Psychiatry in Burbank, we provide evidence-based addiction treatment including medication-assisted treatment (MAT), therapy, and long-term recovery support. Our practice is MATE-certified (Medication-Assisted Treatment for Addiction), and we accept most major insurance plans.
MATE (Medication-Assisted Treatment for Addiction) certification means our providers have completed specialized training in treating substance use disorders with FDA-approved medications. This certification is required to prescribe certain addiction treatment medications like buprenorphine (Suboxone).
MATE-certified providers understand:
Not all psychiatrists are certified to treat addiction. MATE certification ensures you’re receiving care from a provider who specializes in substance use disorders.
Medication-assisted treatment combines FDA-approved medications with counseling and behavioral therapies. This approach treats substance use disorders and supports recovery.
MAT is proven to:

For Alcohol Use Disorder:
For Nicotine Dependence:
Medication alone isn’t enough. We combine prescriptions with therapy to address the psychological and behavioral aspects of addiction.
Medication helps your brain chemistry stabilize. Therapy helps you develop skills to stay sober.
We offer:
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
CBT helps you identify triggers, challenge thoughts that lead to substance use, and develop healthier coping strategies. This is the most researched and effective therapy for addiction.
Motivational Interviewing
This therapy style helps you find your own reasons for change. Instead of being told what to do, you explore your values and how addiction conflicts with the life you want.
Relapse Prevention Planning
We create a detailed plan for high-risk situations: what to do when cravings hit, who to call, how to handle stress without substances.
Trauma-Informed Care
Many people with addiction have experienced trauma. We treat both conditions together, recognizing how past experiences affect current substance use.
We treat substance use disorders involving:
We also treat co-occurring mental health conditions common with addiction:
Treating mental health conditions alongside addiction improves recovery outcomes.
Your first visit lasts 60-90 minutes. This isn’t a quick intake form. We want to understand your full story.

Yes. The Mental Health Parity Act requires insurance companies to cover addiction treatment the same way they cover other medical conditions.
We accept most major insurance plans including:
Call our office at (747) 777-7047 with your insurance information. We’ll verify your coverage before your first appointment and explain any out-of-pocket costs.
If you don’t have insurance, we offer self-pay options and can discuss payment plans.
There’s no fixed timeline. Addiction is a chronic condition that requires ongoing management, similar to diabetes or high blood pressure.
Typical Timeline:
Weeks 1-4: Stabilization
Months 2-6: Early Recovery
Months 6+: Maintenance
Some patients stay on medication long-term. That’s medically appropriate and improves outcomes. There’s no shame in long-term treatment.
Knarik Oganesyan, APRN, FNP-C, PMHNP-BC, is MATE-certified and specializes in addiction treatment. She has years of experience helping patients achieve and maintain recovery.
We don’t just treat addiction. We look at nutrition, sleep, stress, and physical health that affect recovery. Integrative care addresses the whole person.
Addiction treatment is confidential. We treat every patient with dignity and respect, regardless of substance use history.
We accept most major insurance plans. Quality addiction treatment shouldn’t be financially out of reach.
We offer virtual appointments for medication management and therapy. You can receive treatment from anywhere in California.
We understand addiction is a medical condition. You won’t be lectured or shamed here.
Do I have to stop using substances before starting treatment?
No. We meet you where you are. Medication-assisted treatment can start while you’re still using. The goal is harm reduction first, then abstinence when you’re ready.
Will I be on medication forever?
Not necessarily. Some patients taper off medication after 1-2 years. Others stay on long-term maintenance. Both approaches are valid. We make decisions based on your individual situation.
Can I get treatment if I’ve relapsed before?
Yes. Relapse is common in addiction recovery. It doesn’t mean treatment failed. It means we need to adjust the plan. We don’t give up on patients who relapse.
What if I’m on probation or parole?
We can provide documentation for court-mandated treatment. Let us know your legal situation during your first appointment.
Do you provide detox services?
We provide outpatient medication management for withdrawal symptoms. For severe alcohol or benzodiazepine withdrawal, we refer to medical detox programs for safety.
Can family members be involved in treatment?
Yes, with your permission. Family therapy and education can support your recovery.
