Non-judgmental, holistic care that combines medication-assisted treatment with osteopathy, counseling, yoga, and herbal medicine — treating addiction as the medical condition it is.
Mind & Mental Health
Dr. Starsiak approaches addiction as a medical condition with biological, psychological, and structural dimensions — not a moral failure. His addiction medicine program integrates medication-assisted treatment (Suboxone/buprenorphine for opioid dependency), addiction counseling, osteopathic manipulation, yoga instruction, massage, and Ayurvedic herbal medicine into one coherent approach.
Buprenorphine (Suboxone) is one of the most evidence-based treatments available for opioid dependency — preventing withdrawal, reducing cravings, blocking euphoric effects of opioids, and significantly reducing overdose risk. Dr. Starsiak is certified to prescribe it and monitors patients carefully. All care is delivered in a calm, private, non-clinical atmosphere where patients feel safe enough to do the real work of recovery.
In Indiana alone, opioid addiction caused over 1,000 deaths in 2018. Buprenorphine is a partial opioid agonist — occupying opioid receptors without producing a high, eliminating withdrawal and cravings while blocking the effect of additional opioids.
