Mental Health Medication Management
At Support, Inc., we recognize the vital role that medication can play in achieving the goals set forth in our client’s treatment plans. Our psychiatric medication management department is integral to our approach to treating children and adolescents. The process begins with determining the appropriate medications and dosages. Led by our double board-certified General and Child and Adolescent psychiatrist, our team conducts detailed psychiatric evaluations and ongoing follow-up appointments. This ensures we meticulously monitor and adjust treatment, allowing us to effectively support each patient’s progress throughout their therapy.
Some people need medication for only a short time while others have chronic issues that require them to take mental health medication over a long period of time. Every patient, regardless of how long they take medication, must be carefully monitored to ensure that their medication is safe and is effectively treating their condition. And, unlike most medications for a physical ailment, treatment of mental health issues requires medical management on an ongoing basis. Mental health medication management may include changing the dosage, replacing the original medication with a different one, and monitoring the patient for side effects and signs of addiction.
