Dr. Helm has seen and treated the devastating effects caused by addiction to health and family relationships and friendships caused by the legal over-medication and misuse, and the life-altering illegal use/abuse of pain medications such as Hydrocodone, Oxycodone, and other Op**tes. Often in his practice, he has witnessed patients struggling with the rapid onset of serious health issues, and decline of their physical, emotional and mental well being as they are caught in a cycle of addiction, many of them having escalated to He**in and abuse of multiple types of narcotics.
Like you, Dr. Helm has seen and felt the pain of those whose lives have been damaged or lost due to addiction. But, there is hope, there is help, and he has decided to do offer healthcare services to those who are ready to face the challenge of overcoming addiction - and WIN.
His area of expertise in radiology has been beneficial in treating vain and vascular diseases which are accelerated in those addicted and abusing opiates and other powerful narcotics. The fact is, life expectancy is greatly diminished in those who use IV drugs recreationally, or are self medicating affected by unmonitored pain management. Depression, anxiety, chronic pain are all potentially risk factors causes for self-medication leading to addiction.
Dr. Helm knows addiction has no socio-economic, age, race or religious boundaries. Addiction is causing the untimely death of many who just need compassionate help, support and the proper health management network of caring professionals as his patients work through the steps of successful addiction treatment. He has helped hundreds of patients receive a variety of healthcare treatments during his 22+ years of practice, and is expanding his practice to provide a judgement free zone and Suboxone therapy as part of a customized treatment program for those who qualify based on a physical and health assessment by Dr. Helm.
In 2018, Dr. Helm felt compelled to use his expertise to provide help to as many people as possible so they can reclaim their life, repair relationships, regain employment and help them overcome the cycle of addiction. He opened a clinic for Suboxone therapy in November of 2018.
