PSYCHIATRIC MEDICATION MANAGEMENT

Root Center for Advanced Recovery is committed to treating the whole person and fostering wellness in multiple aspects of our patients’ lives. Psychiatric medications can play an important role in a patient's comprehensive treatment plan as they help patients to manage symptoms, improve mood, and increase overall life quality. 


Medication management is an outpatient treatment modality where the patient meets with a licensed prescriber to evaluate the possible need for psychotropic medications to reduce symptoms and improve wellness. Root Center’s experienced prescribers are here to support patients in understanding their options and choosing a comprehensive care plan that meets their needs.

WHAT TO EXPECT

Medication management involves an initial evaluation with a skilled provider where patients will discuss symptoms, share their medical and family history, explore treatment options, and determine if psychotropic medications are right for them. The healthcare provider will explain what each medication does, outline possible side effects, and discuss the benefits and possible negative outcomes associated with each medication option. The provider will then follow up with the patients during regular medication management sessions to assess the effectiveness of the psychotropic medication regimen and determine if any adjustments to the treatment regimen would be beneficial. The prescriber will listen carefully to the patient's concerns and experiences, and work with the patient to find the best dosage and medication combination for them. 


Psychotropic medications are used as a tool in conjunction with other treatment modalities to support each patient in their wellness journey. Patients will often also be enrolled in individual therapy, group therapy, or the intensive outpatient program in addition to seeing their prescriber.
