Frequently asked questions
What is medication management?
Medication management is the ongoing process of a prescriber evaluating whether psychiatric medication could help with what you're experiencing, prescribing when appropriate, and monitoring how it's working over time — adjusting dosage or trying different options as needed in coordination with your overall care.
Do I need to be in therapy to receive medication management?
Not necessarily, but many clients find the two work well together. Medication can help address symptoms like anxiety or depression, while therapy helps address the underlying patterns and skills — combining them is often more effective than either alone.
What happens at an initial medication management appointment?
Your prescriber will start with a thorough evaluation of your symptoms, history, and any medications you've tried before, then discuss whether medication is a reasonable option and what that might look like. This is a conversation, not a prescription handed over automatically.
How often are follow-up appointments?
This depends on where you are in treatment. Follow-ups are typically more frequent when starting or adjusting a medication, then space out once things are stable. Your prescriber will set a schedule that fits your situation.
Does Journey coordinate medication management with therapy?
Yes. When you're seeing both a prescriber and a therapist at Journey, they can coordinate care so your treatment plan stays aligned, rather than operating as two separate, disconnected pieces.
