We take medication to treat a medical condition and improve our quality of life. But if you have a severe illness or you’re taking multiple medications, taking your medicine in the right dose at the right time may be difficult. If medications aren’t taken as prescribed by the doctor, you may find that your quality of life declines. That’s because misusing medication can lead to uncomfortable or even dangerous symptoms. It may also fail to correct your disorder’s symptoms.

That is why we provide medication management services at Advanced Psychiatry Associates. A medication therapy management program can help you get the right medicine, and teach you how to take it at the correct time. Working with a medication therapy management pharmacist can help improve your treatment outcomes, while also ensuring your safety.

What Are Medication Therapy Management Services?

Medication management services are designed to assist patients in taking their prescribed medicines, so they take them in the proper dosages and at the right times on a consistent basis. Medication oversight can also help prevent side effects associated with misuse and ensure that the drugs you’re prescribed work as they should.

Medication management services for seniors in assisted living facilities are already well known to many. But a similar service is now available to people who are receiving treatment for a mental health disorder at Advanced Psychiatry Associates.

We go beyond merely providing reminders to take medication. We know that people suffering from mental health disorders such as ADHD, depression and bipolar disorder need reminders, encouragement and sometimes physical assistance to help them take their medications properly. Advanced Psychiatry Associates provides compassionate and knowledgeable oversight to patients who need help self-administering prescribed drugs.
