What is medication management?

Medication management refers to the process of your Vigor Health Services provider overseeing your use of prescribed medications. They take a comprehensive approach to ensure that you adhere to the instructions on your medications appropriately, safely, and effectively to achieve the best possible health outcomes. 

You can rely on the Vigor Health Services team to:

• Prescribe your medications
• Educate you about your medications
• Monitor your usage
• Address potential side effects or interactions

They can also adjust treatments as necessary.

Why is medication management necessary?

First and foremost, medication management makes sure you receive the benefits of your medications while minimizing the risks associated with incorrect or excessive use. Proper management helps prevent medication errors, adverse reactions, and complications that can occur when you don’t take your medications as prescribed. 

It also promotes adherence to your treatment plan, which is a must for managing mental health conditions and achieving optimal health outcomes.

How does medication management work?

At Vigor Health Services, medication management starts with a comprehensive assessment of your medical history, current health status, existing medications, allergies, and other relevant information. Based on the information, your provider determines the most suitable medications, dosages, and a treatment plan tailored to your needs.

Throughout your treatment, your provider monitors your response to your medications, evaluates the effectiveness of treatment, and addresses any concerns or side effects that may arise. They may also educate you about when you should take your medications, the potential interactions you might experience if taking other drugs or when eating certain foods, and strategies to ensure you stay consistent with taking your prescription(s).

What are the benefits of medication management?

Medication management provides many benefits when treating mental health disorders. It ensures the proper administration of medications, optimizing their effectiveness while minimizing side effects. 

Regular monitoring allows for adjustments in dosages or medications as needed for better symptom control and helps manage conditions like depression, anxiety, ADHD, bipolar disorder, and more. 

Personalized medication management at Vigor Health Services also provides ongoing support, education, and guidance, empowering you to actively participate in your treatment and improve your overall mental health and quality of life.
