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.

If you allow m...

We know so much for certain about the human anatomy, but when it comes to our mental health even the line between the brain and the mind is blurred. Behavioral Health interests me because nothing is ever certain. Even when it comes to the treatment of individual illnesses, there is no set way of treating a patient, and often it is only a mix of many approaches that can solve an issue entirely.....
