Stephen Cameron, MD

Dr. Cameron graduated from Hampshire College in Amherst, MA in 1986 with a degree in Biology and Psychology. He then graduated from the University of Washington School of Medicine in 1992. In 2004, while living in Juneau, AK, he began working in the field of Addiction Medicine at Rainforest Recovery Center. He loved the work and found many parallels between the issues that arise with addiction and the challenges that anyone faces while trying to live and grow in a modern materialistic society. Philosophically, he takes a harm-reduction approach to addiction and truly believes that freedom from unwholesome and self-destructive tendencies is completely possible, even if the journey is sometimes circular-seeming and non-linear. He joined AMG in early 2016, after five years working with Hazelden/Betty Ford as an addiction physician. He is boarded in both Addiction Medicine and Urgent Care Medicine. He has also worked with Doctors Without Borders, treating Tuberculosis in the Former Soviet Republic. In his spare time, Dr. Cameron is often found kayaking a local river, something he has done since he was eleven years old. In his twenties, he was a member of the U.S. Whitewater Slalom Team and, in 1990, published the book, Performance Kayaking. He likes to travel and be in the outdoors.
