For many people medications are an important component of care. In combination with regular treatment, our care team may suggest a medication plan to help improve a patient's successful treatment outcome. Our medical staff assesses medical history and symptoms to determine which medication and dosage may be a helpful supplement to behavioral therapy. 

We understand sometimes there is a stigma around using medication; however, medication, or pharmacologic therapy, can be extremely helpful in decreasing  symptoms of mental illness or addiction. The treatment team regularly reviews patients' medication plans to ensure it’s the right fit.

Performing a clinical history and interview, conducting a physical exam, performing diagnostic testing, and referring or consulting with other clinicians are all ways of accumulating information that may be relevant to understanding a patient's health problem.
