Our Approach To Medication Management
At Healing Waters, we understand that medication management is a crucial component of effective mental health care. Our experienced team of providers takes a cautious and ethical approach to prescribing medications, emphasizing safety and well-being above all else.
What Is Medication Management?
Many times patients come to us on several medications prescribed by different health professionals, with very little education about how they may interact with each other. This leads to confusion, frustration, and often some level of misuse – even accidental. That’s exactly why good medication management is essential.
Medication management involves not only prescribing the right medications but also monitoring their effectiveness and making necessary changes to ensure optimal outcomes. We carefully assess each patient’s needs, consider their unique mental health conditions, medical history, and potential medication interactions. Through regular follow-ups and open communication, we track progress, address any side effects, and adjust treatment plans as needed.
A Conservative Approach to Prescribing
In today’s climate, where substance abuse issues are increasingly prevalent, we are deeply aware of the need for responsible prescribing practices. As a result, our approach is intentionally conservative. We focus on non-addictive medications whenever possible. That allows us to support our patients’ mental health while minimizing the risk of developing dependency.
In Person And Telehealth Services
We are committed to providing compassionate, ethical, and effective medication management. Healing Waters has 4 convenient locations to serve you in person, but we also offer telehealth services across the state of Virginia. Telehealth can be a great option for patients who prefer the comfort of their homes or for those who may have difficulty accessing in-person appointments. Whether through in-person visits or telehealth, our goal is to make this service as accessible as possible.
