Addiction Medicine
Born and raised in Peoria, Dr. Gilbert spent much of the early part of his career caring for patients in underserved and rural areas. For the last 18 years, he has been an independent physician in Peoria with dual board certification in family medicine and addiction medicine. His goal is to inspire and assist all patients toward better self care while encouraging families and communities to care for one another."We are all part of the same team," he says. "I like to help patients feel less afraid as they encounter the health care system. We are all patients at some point, and some of us have the opportunity to serve as health care providers who can accompany others in a professional and compassionate manner. Medicine itself is a tradition of respecting all persons and all lives."Dr. Gilbert's other professional interests include pastoral care and environmental health, especially recycling. He especially enjoys spending time with his wife and five children.
Addiction medicine deals with patients suffering from a wide variety of addiction problems. It aims to free people from their addictions while providing support, counseling, and mental health services. Medical professionals who work in addiction medicine can help patients work through the detoxification process as well as provide harm reduction tactics and rehabilitation services. They may also treat conditions like hepatitis and HIV, which are related to addiction issues. This type of medicine is often associated with public health.
