Although we always like to take a therapeutic approach to treat our patient’s issues at their root, medication can be valuable in helping elevate mood and starting the healing process. But with addiction to prescription medications reaching an epidemic level, the right amount of precaution must be used when we prescribe medications to our patients. It is critical that patients are properly educated so that they know when to take their medication and how much they should use to control symptoms without letting things get out of hand.
We believe communication is the first step in medication management. We make sure that both patients and their families are aware of any medications they are taking and the proper dosing procedures. If the patient is transitioning to another doctor, we provide all the necessary medication information. We understand our patients are in a vulnerable place and we do all we can to make sure their medication is as effective as possible.
When dealing with a grief disorder, we take the time to diagnose our patients and come up with a treatment plan that is suitable for them. This may be a combination of individual and group therapy, medication management, holistic treatments and more. We do what it takes to help those suffering from grief to move on with their lives.
