The right medication plan should feel thoughtful
—not rushed.
MEDICATION MANAGEMENT
Medication can be an important part of mental healthcare, but it should never feel like a one-size-fits-all decision. At Altium Health, we take time to understand your symptoms, health history, previous treatments, concerns, and goals before recommending a plan.
Medication is only one part of
the picture.
CARE THAT STARTS WITH LISTENING
Finding the right medication can take time. What works well for one person may be ineffective or cause unwanted side effects for someone else.
Our medical providers look beyond a diagnosis or prescription list. We want to understand how you have been feeling, how your symptoms affect your daily life, what you have already tried, and what you want treatment to help you do differently.
Medication management may include starting a new medication, reviewing your current regimen, adjusting a dose, addressing side effects, simplifying a complicated medication plan, or deciding that medication is not the right next step.
People respond to psychiatric medications differently, and it may take more than one attempt to identify an option that provides meaningful benefit with manageable side effects.
WHAT IS MEDICATION MANAGEMENT?
More than writing a
prescription.
Medication management is an ongoing process that may include:
A psychiatric and medical assessment
Review of current and previous medications
Evaluation of symptoms, diagnoses, and treatment history
Discussion of benefits, risks, alternatives, and expectations
Prescribing medication when clinically appropriate
Monitoring effectiveness and side effects
Reviewing possible medication interactions
Ordering or reviewing laboratory testing when needed
Coordinating with therapists, primary care providers, or other members of your treatment team
Every medication has potential benefits and risks. Your provider will help you understand both so you can make an informed decision about your care.
Medical care works better when it doesn’t
happen in isolation
ONE TEAM, ONE PLAN
Our psychiatric providers, medical professionals and therapists collaborate under one roof—
helping your care stay coordinated, clear and
centered around you.
