Medication Management Services | WellStead Mental Health

A Personalized Approach to Mental Health Medication

Effective treatment requires a customized plan built around the individual. Neurochemistry varies from person to person, and so adaptable approaches to treating mental illness are essential. We use a step-by-step process to find the right medication for you.

Evaluation

Our psychiatrists will gather information on your medical history, previous treatments, and your goals. We get a full picture of your situation before developing your treatment plan.

Medication Selection

We’ll discuss medication options with you based on the information we gathered. We’ll explain what the medication is, how it works, and potential side effects you may experience so you have all the knowledge necessary to make an informed decision.

Regular Monitoring

A vital part of the treatment process is regular monitoring. We’ll book ongoing appointments to assess your reaction to the medication. During these appointments, we can help with side effects and make dosage adjustments as necessary. This monitoring process helps us find the right dosage and medication for your needs.

Ongoing Care

Once your symptoms have stabilized, we’ll continue to meet regularly to make sure your medication remains effective long term.

Care for a Wide Range of Conditions

Our providers are experienced in treating diverse behavioral health needs and providing medication management for these mental health conditions:

Depression

We have expertise treating first-onset, persistent, and treatment-resistant depression using medication, therapy, and advanced treatments like deep transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), which is noninvasive and painless.

Anxiety Disorders

We’ll help reduce symptoms for generalized anxiety, panic disorders, social anxiety, OCD, and phobias using medication and cognitive behavioral therapy.

Bipolar Disorders

We create individualized plans combining mood-stabilizing medications, psychotherapy, and lifestyle adjustments to regulate mood and prevent relapse.

Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and Trauma

We offer trauma-informed care and use evidence-based treatments alongside medication to reduce flashbacks and hypervigilance.

Schizophrenia

We use a compassionate, structured approach using antipsychotic medications to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning and quality of life.

Frequently Asked Questions

How often will I need to see my provider for medication management?

The frequency of appointments varies depending on your specific situation and treatment phase.

Appointments are typically more frequent during the initial period when starting or adjusting medications. Your provider will discuss the recommended schedule with you and adjust it based on your individual needs and response to treatment.

What should I do if I experience side effects from my medication?

If you experience side effects, it’s important to communicate this with your provider. Never discontinue or adjust your medication dosage on your own without consulting your provider, as sudden changes can sometimes lead to withdrawal symptoms or a return of the condition being treated.

How long will I need to take psychiatric medication?

The duration of medication treatment varies widely depending on your specific condition, severity, response to treatment, and other factors. We regularly evaluate the continued need for medication and consider factors such as your symptom history, risk of relapse, and personal preferences.
