Author & Medical Content Reviewer · Addiction Medicine & Dual Diagnosis
Dr. Courtney Scott, MD is a physician in Los Angeles who specializes in addiction medicine and dual diagnosis. He is affiliated with the University of Southern California and is the founder of Ascend Medical Wellness Concierge, a practice built on a simple belief: addiction is treatable, and every person deserves care that respects their dignity.
His work centers on co-occurring conditions, the overlap between substance use and mental health. Instead of treating addiction on its own, he looks at the emotional, psychological, and social factors underneath it and combines medical treatment with counseling and long-term support. Through his practice he works across the whole arc of recovery, from detox and withdrawal management to individual therapy and aftercare.
On National Mental Health Support, Dr. Scott writes and medically reviews the articles. He reads each piece before it is published, checks the facts against current clinical understanding, and keeps the language plain enough to be useful to someone looking for real answers. If something is not accurate or clear, he fixes it.
