What is medication management?

Medication management at Holistic Behavioral Health Multi Services uses personalized medication regimens to diminish symptoms of crippling mental health challenges. 

While Holistic Behavioral Health Multi Services takes a holistic approach to treating many mental health conditions, medications often complement therapy and are sometimes necessary to achieve the best outcome.

When is medication management recommended for mental health?

You might be a candidate for medication management if you struggle with one or more of the following mental health conditions:

• Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
• Substance use disorder
• Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD)
• Eating disorders
• Low self-esteem
• Grief 
• Mood disorders
• Anxiety
• Depression
• Bipolar disorder 
• Attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD)

Symptoms of mental health concerns include ongoing or extreme sadness, loss of interest in favorite activities, and difficulty sleeping or concentrating. You might also experience fear, worry, flashbacks, nightmares, substance misuse, thoughts of suicide, or impulsive behaviors. 

Your specialist tailors each treatment plan based on the condition you have, its severity, and whether or not other treatments were effective.

Is medication management right for me?

To determine if you’re a candidate for medication management, your Holistic Behavioral Health Multi Services provider meets with you in person or virtually from the comfort of your home or office. They discuss your medical history, current medication regimen, lifestyle habits, and treatment preferences.

During a comprehensive psychiatric evaluation, your specialist inquires about your moods, thoughts, emotions, and behavior patterns. They use evidence-based treatment plans to help you achieve the mental wellness and quality of life you deserve.

What happens during medication management?

When taking medications for a mental health condition, your provider issues a prescription and lets you know how to take your medication. It’s important to take it exactly as directed to ensure the best result.

Medications are often used with other treatments, including therapy or brain stimulation, to minimize symptoms. You might take more than one medicine, and your specialist works closely with you during treatment. It’s important to report any changes you experience to your provider, who alters your treatment plan whenever needed. 

If you undergo therapy in addition to medication management, meet with your mental health specialist weekly for 60 minutes or as needed to help overcome crippling symptoms due to difficult life situations. Your provider follows up with you whenever necessary to ensure success.
