Medication Management
We provide medication management services to those who attend psychotherapy.
Outpatient medication management involves the initial evaluation of the patient's need for
psychotropic medications and their medication history, selecting the medication(s) to be used
and ordering a prescription, followed by ongoing medical monitoring of the medications
effectiveness and desired outcome by a qualified physician or nurse practitioner. Psychotropic
medications are a critical part of the treatment of certain mental health problems with more
serious symptoms. Utilizing the right medication can reduce or eliminate symptoms and provide
relief. Depending upon the problem being addressed some medication usage is short term and
for other serious and persistent psychiatric illnesses may be ongoing. Since psychological
research has fully established for over the past thirty years that the combination of medication
usage and psychotherapy are far more effective than medication usage alone, Associates in
Behavioral Science requires patients to agree to attend psychotherapy in order for us to provide
medication management.
