There are five main treatment options (1-5) which are outlined below, including costs.
Initial Consultation
The initial consultation with Dr McGovern is simply an exploratory session rather than any firm commitment to commence treatment and may be viewed as a stand alone session even if more intensive treatment is not required.
- In many cases it may be all that is required to kick start the recovery process.
- This brief intervention alone can be very helpful in assisting those with alcohol, substance and other addiction related issues.
- Dr McGovern has a good knowledge of other services beyond the clinic that might be useful (in circumstances where the treatment programmes at the clinic may not be the preferred option for costs or other reasons).
- The session also provides him with an opportunity to decide the intensity of treatment that is needed and what programme would work best to meet those needs.
The initial consultation costs €100 and is approximately 30 minutes duration. If you would like to make an appointment to see Dr McGovern please contact the clinic on 01-2916153 or e-mail him at drmcgovern@prioritymedicalclinic.ie
