Fellowship in Addiction Psychiatry

The Addiction Psychiatry Fellowship at the University of Colorado Anschutz School of Medicine is an ACGME-accredited fellowship that provides advanced clinical training in the assessment and treatment of substance use disorders and co-occurring psychiatric conditions. The program is part of the Division of Substance Dependence and offers training with experienced faculty in addiction psychiatry. Fellows develop competence in behavioral and psychopharmacological approaches to addiction treatment and gain clinical experience across inpatient, outpatient, residential, detoxification, methadone treatment, adolescent, and VA settings. The fellowship also allows fellows to tailor their training toward their individual career interests and goals.
