Dr. Basch brings almost 20 years of clinical practice and experience to Millennium Counseling
Center. She is board certified by the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology. Dr. Basch
is also certified by the American Board of Addiction Medicine and has a sub-specialty from
the American Society of Addiction Medicine (ASAM).

Currently the Medical Director at the Rush Day Hospital at Rush Medical Center, Dr. Basch
integrates psychopharmacology and psychotherapy in her daily practice. In addition to her
hospital work, Dr. Basch’s experience includes private practice and community psychiatry
as well as serving as a research psychiatrist in Phase II-IVclinical trials.

Dr. Basch believes that with daily advances in the understanding of the biology and psychology
of addiction, both patients and caregivers can now grasp addiction as a medically treatable disease.
She is working for the day when the addicted patient can seek office-based treatment with multiple
options including greater accessibility and affordability to needed care. As patients have greater
options and equal treatment, stigma disappear, options increase, and hope rises.
