ALBANY – A former Clifton Park psychiatrist who specialized in addiction recovery was sentenced Monday to more than three years in federal prison in an unlawful drug distribution case, according to a federal prosecutor.

Adrian Morris, 65, of Clifton Park, pleaded guilty earlier to distributing controlled substances outside the course of professional practice and for no legitimate medical purpose, officials said.

He was sentenced Monday to a total of three years, one month in prison.

As part of his guilty plea last fall, Morris admitted he dispensed controlled substances, including Adderall and Xanax for no legitimate medical purpose and that he engaged in personal relationships with female patients seeking treatment from him for addiction to controlled substances, prosecutors said.

U.S. District Judge Mae A. D’Agostino imposed the prison term, as well as two years of supervised release.

The case was investigated by the DEA, FBI, Albany County Sheriff’s Office, and the New York State Bureau of Narcotic Enforcement. Assistant U.S. Attorneys Wayne A. Myers and Emmet J. O’Hanlon prosecuted.
