Discovering Inner Peace with MEDICATION MANAGEMENT

Why Medication Management?

Medication management is a service intended to help patients manage prescription medication schedules, symptoms, and changes. It’s a guided approach to taking medications, which allows for a number of benefits, especially in the mental health field. Typically, medication management begins with discussing medical history and history of medications. Then, determining proper medications and when medications will be taken. And addressing any issues with symptoms or adverse reactions while a patient is taking prescribed medication.  

 The Benefits of Medication Management

For mental health patients, medication management offers many advantages. Some of these benefits include:

• Helping to reduce stress about when to take medication
• Providing help when symptoms or reactions from medication occur
• Offers a more personalized approach to treatment
• Provides a collaborative approach to care – multiple doctors can determine more accurate prescribing
• Allows patients to remain actively engaged in their treatment
• Increases the chances for medication efficacy and successful outcomes
• Reduces the cost of medications as patients don’t pay for medications that don’t work for them or need to go to the hospital as the result of adverse reactions
• Increases overall patient satisfaction with mental health treatment
• Allows for better patient comfort as side effects and worries are addressed immediately and continuously.
