Staying empathetic, patient, and resilient is essential in helping patients navigate the complexities of addiction recovery.

What are Addiction LPNs?

Addiction Licensed Practical Nurses (LPNs) are healthcare professionals who work with individuals struggling with substance use disorders. They provide direct patient care, administer medications, monitor withdrawal symptoms, and support recovery efforts under the supervision of registered nurses or physicians. Addiction LPNs often work in rehabilitation centers, detox facilities, or outpatient clinics, playing a key role in the multidisciplinary team supporting patient recovery. Their responsibilities also include educating patients and families about addiction and relapse prevention.
