MEDICATION MANAGEMENT

Psychiatric medication management is a partnership among the client, the prescriber, and other mental healthcare professionals involved in your care who work together in determining the safest and most effective use of medications for you. Medication is often a key piece in the recovery process for people living with psychiatric disorders.
On your first visit you can expect a 75 minute comprehensive intake evaluation where we decide together the best treatment plan (which may or may not include medication) moving forward. A follow-up appointment will usually be scheduled 4-6 weeks following your first visit where we meet in person for 20-30 minutes to discuss your response and any toleration issues or concerns. Visits are then scheduled every 4-8 weeks after that until a satisfactory response is achieved. Once stability on medications is reached, the frequency of visits can be decreased to every 3-6 months.
