Medication Management
The Behavioral Health Service provides psychiatric evaluations, ongoing medication management, and psychotherapy as needed and available to accompany medication management.
Please contact our front desk at 301.314.8106. Our Administrative Assistants will help you schedule your appointment and provide you with important information regarding required forms to complete before your first appointment.
- If you know you need medication, we will review our concerns, symptoms, history, and medical issues with you and recommendations will be made. Together, you and your psychiatric provider will devise a treatment plan.
- If you think you might need medication, our licensed clinicians can help you decide if medications are right for you. Your concerns, symptoms, history, and medical issues will be discussed with you and a treatment plan will be devised with you, which may or may not include prescription of medications.
If your prescriber is out of state or no longer available, we can continue your medications and adjust as necessary, when a new patient appointment becomes available. Once you are stable you may be referred to primary care or to an outside psychiatrist for follow-up.
If you already have a prescriber nearby, it is recommended that you continue with that provider if you are able to do so.
Psychotherapy is an important part of recovery from symptoms of depression, anxiety and other illnesses. If you are taking medication prescribed by one of our providers, you may be encouraged to seek psychotherapy to augment your treatment.
If you are not being seen by one of our psychiatric providers and you want to engage in psychotherapy, we would be happy to help you find a psychotherapist who can meet your needs in the community. We can assist you in finding a therapist who will fit your needs.
