Medication Management

Psychiatric Medications In Residential Treatment
From the time a new client enters the facility, a complete review of the client’s current medications, including a full assessment of the client’s medical needs, is undertaken.  After our psychiatrist makes a full assessment of current medications, we also complete an investigation of other mediations that have been used in the client’s previous treatment.  We don’t want to leave anything out of the potential equation that can be used to find the best regimen to allow each client to achieve personal success.

Our team, including the psychiatrist, nursing staff and other mental health professionals, observes clients daily in a residential setting, assessing how they interact with staff and other residents.  Much of what is observed is often missed in a non-residential appointment where mental health professionals must rely only on the reporting from each client.

Side effects of medication, often a problem elsewhere, are minimized at Psynergy because clients are monitored every day.  A major part of our success in dialing in the best medications for each client is the ongoing education that our professionals receive. They stay current on the newest psychiatric medications, including recent atypical antipsychotics, to arrive at the most successful dosing and drug combination strategies available.
