About Dodson Pain Clinic
Dr. David K. Dodson is a local physician that has been certifying patients for the MN Medical Cannabis Program since 2015, certifying thousands of patients in Minnesota for all qualifying conditions since the program began. He is a strong advocate for the program, and works diligently towards getting all qualified Minnesotans certified for the program. Dr. Dodson and his team work together with cannabis manufacturers and The Office of Medical Cannabis to ensure Minnesotans have up-to-date information regarding the program. At DPC Medical, we understand that the Medical Cannabis track can be daunting, especially with all the many cogs that are required to make it work. We’re here to help you every step of the way.
Our Mission
Addiction, Alcoholism, Drug Addiction, Drug Habit, Substance Abuse and Substance Dependence; “Chemical Dependency”, is a destructive phenomenon to the individual, family, and the community. Chemical Dependence is characterized by an addiction to a mood-altering chemical, which transforms into an illness or a disease.
Being powerless, the person who abuses substances is unable to control substance abuse. Regardless of serious economic damage, harm to oneself or others, health complications, legal consequences, and social conflicts, it is extremely difficult for substance abusers to refrain from these substances. This progressive and brutal illness does not discriminate. Being thoroughly aware of these facts, here at DPC Medical, we don’t blame you for your addiction. We’re here to work with you and your family as you recover and begin to build your new life.
