Background
Frances Murphy is a dual-trained APRN bringing family medicine and psychiatric expertise to RECO Island's medical detox setting. Detox patients almost universally present complex medical pictures alongside their substance-use concerns, and Frances's combined training makes her especially valuable during this most medically demanding phase of care.
Approach to Care
At RECO Island, Frances's approach is to take the full medical picture seriously during detox. Many detox patients have neglected medical care for years; her family-medicine background lets her catch issues that pure-addiction-medicine clinicians might defer.
Education & Credentials
Frances completed her nursing and advanced practice training in both family medicine and psychiatric care. She is credentialed as an APRN.
What to Expect
RECO Island patients find Frances thorough — she'll address medical concerns alongside the addiction-medicine and psychiatric work, ensuring the full picture is being managed rather than just the substance use.
