Pharmacotherapy​

Pharmacotherapy is the treatment of health conditions by using pharmaceutical products (drugs) as medication. When a person is struggling with a health condition of drug dependency, pharmacotherapy replaces the drug of dependence with a legally prescribed substitute.

The use of prescribed pharmaceuticals by AKA-CHI pharmacotherapy specialists helps as a comprehensive treatment plan. Medications help reduce the intensity of withdrawal symptoms, drug cravings, and the likelihood of use.

At AKA-CHI, mental health professionals begin the treatment process by conducting in-depth evaluations, performing different medical tests, and reviewing your symptoms. After this initial stage of the treatment process, the therapists then decide whether or not medication can help your condition and work well in conjunction with other therapeutic modalities.

When prescribing any kind of medication, AKA-CHI team of experts make evidence-based decisions and only prescribe one type of medication at a time to assess the effectiveness and any potential side effects.

We never prescribe additional medication simultaneously unless it is proven safe. Many mental health conditions can be treated without medication. However, if your disorder needs medication or a combination of medications, we customize it to your healthcare needs.

At AKA-CHI, it works with a sense of partnership and being valued and respected. Compassion and positive regards are our core values; our practice's staff is sensitive to your needs and preferences. They understand and accommodate, keeping the side effects and accounting ahead for your past experiences and reservations about taking medication.

Yes, it is. When prescribing medications, AKA-CHI expert team of therapists review specifics about the patient's medication and make sure that the patient is taking the medication. Moreover, the therapist ensures that the patient doesn't abuse harmful substances while on medication to avoid any side effects. During the whole treatment, the patient goes through monitoring to make sure the medication is improving the situation and is not causing any side effects.
