About Daniel Okafor
Daniel Okafor is a board-certified psychiatric-mental health nurse practitioner (PMHNP-BC) with a Master of Science in Nursing. He specializes in psychiatric medication management and medication-assisted treatment for opioid and alcohol use disorders, and he reviews clinical content on Addiction Treatment Services to make sure it reflects current prescribing guidance.
Daniel was drawn to this work after seeing how often people are told their addiction is a failure of willpower when what they really need is the right medical care. He is at his best explaining how medications actually work and what to realistically expect, in plain language a patient or a worried family member can trust. Helping someone understand that recovery is a treatable medical process, not a moral verdict, is the part of the job that matters most to him.
