Medication Management Q&A
What is medication management?
Medication management is a healthcare strategy that can lower your risk factors for complications that can result from medication misuse, including missed doses, underdosing, and overdosing.
Mindful Behavioral Solutions specializes in medication management services for adults and children aged five and over who use psychotropic medicine and other medications as part of their treatment plan for anxiety, bipolar disorder, and other psychiatric conditions.
The experienced team works closely with you to develop a personalized medication management plan to treat your condition and optimize treatment outcomes. They offer initial consultations and routine follow-up appointments in the office and through an online telehealth platform.
When would I benefit from medication management?
You can benefit from the medication management services available at Mindful Behavioral Solutions if you take one or more medications to address physical, mental, emotional, or behavioral health conditions, including:
- Anxiety
- Depression
- Bipolar disorder
- Eating disorders
- Substance use disorders
- Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
- Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD)
The goal of medication management is to ensure you are taking the most effective medications at the proper dosage. Under the medical team’s guidance, you can reduce your risk for unwanted side effects certain psychiatric medications cause and also ensure you achieve maximum symptom relief.
The team also evaluates all the medications you take to prevent negative drug interactions that can lead to potentially life-threatening complications.
What can I expect during my initial medication management consultation?
During your initial consultation at Mindful Behavioral Solutions, the medication management experts review your personal and family medical histories and current health.
You should bring a complete list of all your medications, including over-the-counter medicines and dietary supplements. Bring the bottles with you, or write down the name and dosage of each medication you take.
The team assesses the medications to identify potential conflicts. When you’re already taking medications that aren’t working well, your provider can adjust the dosage or recommend a new medication.
If you need new medications to treat anxiety or other psychiatric conditions, the team ensures you know how to take them properly. They can also answer any questions you have about your treatment plan.
