Medication management is a strategy for people to keep track of their medications. Some people may take more medication than others. Counselors can assist people in managing their medication as a part of the person’s whole care team.
Available Treatment Options
Communication between medical teams, the therapist, and the client is critical to the success of accurately managing medications. Counselors keep confidentiality as needed and don’t discuss anything that happens during counseling sessions without the express written consent of the person they’re counseling.
Counseling interventions to assist with medication management include goal setting and planning, working on communication skills to help the person advocate for themselves, and coping strategies for handling stress.
