Rabbi Schwartz

proud of my sobriety;' Kutinsky said.
"They forget my birthday, but not the
day I stopped drinking:"
Kutinsky is medical director of
Pathway Family Center in Southfield,
which treats teen addiction, often
requiring different skills because
"teens resist treatment:"
He's on the medical staff of Brighton
Hospital, one of the nation's oldest sub-
stance abuse treatment facilities.
"Dr. Jay [as he is known] takes people
where they are and gets them moti-
vated to get where they need to be said
Richard Kramer, who is Brighton's vice
president for development and president
of its fundraising arm, the Brighton
National Addiction Foundation.
Brighton recently began offering
pre-prepared kosher meals to its Jewish
patients after its dietary staff did an
in-service training with the Council of
Orthodox Rabbis of Greater Detroit.
"We had enough Jewish patients to
hold a service on the High Holidays:'
said Kramer, who serves on the devel-
opment committee of the Jewish
Community Relations Council of
Metropolitan Detroit.
As medical review officer of the St.
John Health System and director of
addiction medicine at St. John Macomb-
Oakland Hospital, Kutinsky "is very
involved in teaching residents and
interns how to best treat patients who
suffer from this disorder as well as mak-
ing sure they are aware of all the latest
advances in the practice of addiction
medicine,' said Dr. Gary Berg, Macomb-
Oakland's chief medical officer.
"He is frequently consulted on
patients who require an addiction spe-
cialist, helps physicians who may be
part of the Health Professional Recovery
Program and acts as a resource to me,"
Berg added.
Kutinsky is also on the advisory
board of the West Bloomfield-based
Daniel B. Sobel Friendship House, which
refers and provides services to Jewish
addicts and their loved ones.
At his private practice based in
Sterling Heights, "I treat a lot of doc-
tors and other health professionals:' He

treats medical problems, refers
to substance abuse centers and
administers drugs to ease with-
drawal and others to block the
desire for alcohol or drugs.
Withdrawal from heroin or any
of the opiates used to take days
and be awful, Kutinsky said. In
the last five years, new drugs help
a patient to more comfortably
withdraw over a one- to two-
hour period in a doctor's office.
"They can go to rehab or a meeting
right away. The withdrawal is much
easier than for alcoholics."
Although AA was and is his path
to sobriety, Kutinsky encourages his
patients to use every means while they
are in the throes of the disease. "The
more intense the treatment, the more
chance of recovery:' he said.Treatment
should be multi-faceted, he added,
including counseling and medications.
"It's more than just abstinence,'
Kutinsky warned. "That's just the begin-
ning.You have to have a program for
recovery. Although two-thirds relapse,
you can't give up on them. Sometimes it
takes what it takes."
