Introduction

Managing an addiction medicine practice involves navigating complex schedules, insurance claims, and accurate medical records. Administrative overload can strain the team, delaying patient care and reducing operational efficiency. Recruiting and retaining skilled staff further exacerbates these issues, leaving practices vulnerable to disruptions and financial strain.
