REGENT is a physician-owned medical directorship company established to formalize and support the exercise of medical authority in addiction treatment.
The company serves as the institutional platform through which Dr. Jayson A. Hymes, MD, MPH, exercises clinical leadership and medical governance for treatment programs operating at a high professional and regulatory standard.
The Regent Standard
REGENT operates independently and with discretion as a medical authority rather than a treatment facility. It does not provide direct patient care. Its role is limited to medical oversight, management, and physician accountability.
The company’s work is defined by structure, consistency, and long-term stewardship. Authority at REGENT is expressed through disciplined medical oversight rather than visibility or promotion.
Driven by passion
Regent was founded on a clear conviction: addiction treatment is most effective when medicine leads with discipline, integrity, and care. We exist not to follow trends, but to uphold standards ; clinical, ethical, and human ; that endure over time.
Our work is driven by a deep commitment to medical responsibility. With decades of experience in addiction medicine, Regent provides physician-led oversight and clinical management designed to protect patients, support clinical teams, and strengthen treatment programs at their core. Every decision is guided by evidence, accountability, and respect for the complexity of addiction care.
We believe leadership in medicine requires restraint as much as expertise. Regent operates with clarity rather than noise, precision rather than excess. We partner closely with programs, clinicians, and stakeholders, approaching each engagement with diligence, discretion, and long-term perspective.
Driven by passion, Regent stands for thoughtful medicine, structured oversight, and enduring trust ; quietly ensuring that care is delivered with consistency, safety, and purpose.
“Regent is the gold standard. We want the best for our clients, and having Dr. Hymes on our team gives us the confidence that our medical management is always strong.”
