Clinical Professor
Georgetown University School of Medicine, District of Columbia
Dr. George Kolodner is an addiction psychiatrist who specializes in the outpatient treatment of substance use disorders. After receiving his M.D. from the University of Rochester, he completed his psychiatric training at Yale University. In 1973 he designed the first intensive outpatient treatment program (IOP) in the country. By adding withdrawal management on the front end and non-intensive continuing care on the back end, he created a comprehensive outpatient model for the treatment of substance use disorders. His ASAM activities include serving as the lead editor of the Withdrawal Management section of the 3rd edition of ASAM Criteria. Dr. Kolodner is also active teaching about addictions at the Georgetown University School of Medicine, where he is a Clinical Professor of Psychiatry.
