OUR STORY

Mitchell Medical, PC has an unparalleled track record of helping its patients get sober and stay sober. Regardless of the addiction or its source – whether it be alcoholism, opioid addiction, benzo or sedative dependence, alcoholism, opioid addiction, benzodiazepine dependence, or addiction to stimulants like cocaine or Adderall. MMPC develops a uniquely tailored yet consistently effective approach of medically assisted treatment (MAT) that’s specific to each individual patient. It’s judgement free, and solely focused on getting patients back to a sustainable and sober life. 

Unlike rehabs, which mainly focus on inpatient detox services, Mitchell Medical delivers a unique outpatient detox process that helps patients to get clean in the comfort of their own homes. And as one of the few certified practitioners of the Sinclair Method, Dr. Mitchell meets with patients regularly after detox to guide them through a life of long term sobriety and relapse prevention. Addiction is a chronic disease, and should be closely monitored even after a patient completes their detoxification process or returns from rehab. Each patient is given the personal cell phone number of Dr. Mitchell as well as his wife and practice manager, Lynne, who are both fully committed to their patients’ well-being day and night.

To best serve our patients, we have offices in Mahopac, NY as well as in New York City, NY.
