Medication Management
Every patient is different and requires a customized approach to their therapy. The customized treatment program can involve multiple disciplines. After a complete assessment, some of our patients are selected as candidates for medication management. Candidates undergo a comprehensive evaluation process to determine that they meet the strict criteria for placement into the program. No medications are prescribed during the 4-6 week evaluation process. This can be a difficult program to be accepted into. As we strive to treat the whole patient, patients in the medication management program must be willing to fully participate in all of the non-medication programs that can benefit them.
Once accepted into the program, patients must sign as agreement and adhere to the program guidelines. Failure to comply with recommended treatments can result in discharge from the program. Our patients are carefully followed with routine urine drug testing as well as comprehensive behavioral assessment. Our goal is for each patient to be maintained on the lowest possible dose of their opioid and analgesic medications. Our comprehensive approach gives our patients the best possible outcomes and helps each person reach their maximum functionality.
