Honesdale psychiatrist now certified in addiction medicine

HONESDALE — Michael C. Campbell, MD, has received board certification in addiction medicine.

Campbell is Behavioral Health director for Wayne Memorial Community Health Centers in Honesdale. He received certification as a Diplomate of the American Board of Addiction Medicine.

Already a dual board-certified physician, in psychiatry and family medicine, Campbell says seeking a third certification in addiction medicine was a commitment he felt strongly about as a means to most effectively treat his patients recovering from alcohol and opioid dependence.

“I treat addiction every day," he said. "Through certification by ABAM, I can ensure coverage for lifesaving medications used to treat substance use disorders.”

Established in 2007, the American Board of Addiction Medicine is the nation’s first medical specialty board that certifies addiction medicine physicians across a range of medical specialties. The board sets standards for physician education, assesses physicians’ knowledge and requires and tracks life-long education.

Campbell is also a Fellow of the American Psychiatric Association. He earned his medical degree from Thomas Jefferson University‘s Jefferson Medical College in Philadelphia and completed a joint residency program at West Virginia University Hospital. He treats adults and children at the Behavioral Health Center, Stourbridge Professional Complex, 600 Maple St., Suite 6 in Honesdale.
