Medication Management

Psychiatric medication works best when it is chosen carefully, monitored closely and adjusted as your life changes. Our board-certified physicians and psychiatric nurse practitioners manage medication for adults by telehealth in 33 states and in person in 15 states.

What to expect

What medication management includes

A thorough first evaluation

Your first visit reviews your symptoms, medical and psychiatric history, current medications and goals before any prescription is discussed.

Prescribing and adjustments

When medication is appropriate, your clinician explains the options, starts treatment and adjusts the dose or the medication based on how you respond.

Monitoring that continues

Follow-up visits track benefits and side effects. They are closer together while a medication is new or changing and further apart once you are stable.

Coordination with your care team

With your consent, we coordinate with your therapist, primary care clinician or referring provider so everyone works from the same plan.

Options when first-line medication has not worked

Pharmacogenetic testing, TMS therapy and ketamine treatment are available when standard medications have not given enough relief.

Telehealth or in person

Secure video visits are available to patients in 33 states, and in-person care in 15 states. Appointments within 24 hours for most new patients.

Common questions about medication management

Do I have to take medication to be seen at Resova Health?

No. The first visit is an evaluation. Medication is one option your clinician may recommend. Therapy, TMS therapy or other treatments can be part of your plan instead of, or alongside, medication.

How often are follow-up visits?

Your clinician sets the schedule with you. Visits are usually closer together when a medication is started or changed, and further apart once your symptoms are stable.

Can medication management be done by telehealth?

Yes. Secure video visits are available to patients in 33 states. Some situations call for an in-person visit, and your clinician will tell you if that applies to you.

What happens if my current medication is not working?

Tell your clinician. Options include a dose change, a different medication, pharmacogenetic testing to guide the next choice, or treatments such as TMS therapy or ketamine for treatment-resistant depression.

How are prescriptions sent?

Prescriptions are sent electronically to the pharmacy you choose. Controlled medications follow state and federal rules, and your clinician will explain what applies to your treatment.
