About Dr. Kolodner
-
Dr. George Kolodner is an addiction psychiatrist who specializes in the outpatient treatment of substance use disorders. He received his M.D. from University of Rochester, and completed his psychiatric training at Yale University.
While serving as a staff psychiatrist at the U.S. Naval Hospital in Bethesda, he witnessed recovery from alcoholism for the first time at the hospital’s residential rehabilitation program. Motivated by this experience, he became interested in replicating this success in a non-residential setting. After leaving the Navy in 1973, he designed and implemented the first intensive outpatient addiction treatment program in the country – the Kolmac Clinic – where he continues to serve as the medical director.
Dr. Kolodner is active in teaching about substance use disorders to medical students and residents at Georgetown University Medical School, where he is a Clinical Professor of Psychiatry. He has recently made arrangements with the University of Maryland School of Medicine to have their addiction fellows do a clinical rotation at the Clinic as part of their training.
