About Alcohol Recovery Medicine

My website content reflects my clinical perspective, which is influenced by twenty years of experience conducting clinical research at the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism, one of the institutes that comprise the National Institutes of Health in Bethesda, Maryland. This website as well as TenGoodRules.org  is entirely supported by my medical practice as a public service. I do not accept advertising revenue of any kind.   

​

I began using naltrexone  and other medication to help people with AUD in 1995, and have established this site and telemedicine practice to share what I know.  I am certified by the American Board of Addiction Medicine and the American Board of Preventive Medicine.

I enjoy hiking, photography, and spending time with my family.  The Photographs on this site are mostly from Wyoming.  Many years ago, on a trip with my daughter, I took this photo of the Grand Tetons at dawn. As the first sunlight shown on the Grand Teton Mountain, I decided that if I ever had a website, this photo would be on it.
