Personalized Treatment for Addiction Recovery

Dr. Eugene Santillano is a dual board-certified expert in Addiction Medicine and Family Medicine. He has over two decades of frontline primary care experience and a decade dedicated to guiding patients through the complexities of addiction recovery. His child-of-origin story begins with his father's alcohol addiction, punctuated with the loss of his younger brother on the streets of San Francisco due to fentanyl. He is committed to breaking barriers in addiction treatment by expanding access to compassionate and evidence-based care.

Dr. Santillano specializes in personalized Medication for Addiction Treatment (MAT) to support mental health recovery. His unwavering mission is to challenge stigma, reduce implicit bias in healthcare, and empower patients and providers with the tools they need for compassionate transformation.

Dr. Santillano is helping patients recognize that addiction is a complex chronic disease rooted in trauma and learned coping behaviors—not a moral failing. Our approach focuses on removing stigma and shame, enabling clients to engage fully in their recovery journey.
