What to Expect in Psychiatric Treatment
Your psychiatric treatment program is designed specifically for your diagnosis and long-term goals. Depending upon your condition, your treatment plan may include psychotherapy (talk therapy), medication management, or both. A psychiatrist will manage your medication and may also provide psychotherapy. More commonly, you will see a separate therapist or counselor who specializes in traditional therapies.
If your treatment plan includes medication management, your psychiatrist or another clinical professional will monitor the dosage of your prescribed medications and schedule regular check-ins to discuss changes in your symptoms and any side effects you may be experiencing.

- Holistic treatment options.Â
- Dual diagnosis treatment (if you have a co-occurring substance use disorder).

Frequently Asked Questions
To learn more, you are encouraged to read our FAQs and contact us if you have further questions.
You will be assigned a therapist upon admission based on your diagnosis. If you feel that individual is not a good match for you, we can discuss connecting you with a different therapist. Depending upon your care plan, you may also work with other therapists in group therapy or programs like life skills training and experiential therapy.
Mental health treatment is not one-size-fits-all. We understand that you are an individual with a unique background and needs. We begin analyzing those needs during your pre-admission assessment and investigate them further once you enter our treatment program. A team of clinical professionals will review what we learn from you and develop a multi-modality treatment program they believe will serve you best. They will review that program with you and ask for your input.Â
Many health insurance policies cover the cost of treatment partially or in full, including evaluations, but it can be hard to understand your coverage. We provide a free insurance assessment to take the guesswork out of your insurance benefits. We will contact your insurance provider to learn more about your coverage. Then, we will call you to explain what we learned in easy-to-understand language.
