Medication Management

After evaluation, treatment plans to include medication initiation will be developed and continually assessed and monitored. Monitoring of medications is to ensure understanding of regimen, efficacy, interactions and titration is important in managing mental health conditions. We also offer Medication Assisted Treatment (MAT), medication for treating dependency on substances. These medications help people stop using the substance of choice, while also reducing cravings and minimizing withdrawal symptoms. Medication-Assisted Treatment has been found to be effective at preventing relapse and overdose.
