Medication Management - Portum Behevioral Health

Medication management provides the support needed to maintain balance and stability. With ongoing guidance and monitoring, you can feel confident in your treatment, reduce symptoms, and move forward with greater clarity, resilience, and peace of mind.

Compassionate care for mental health, substance use, and co-occurring conditions to support lasting recovery.

Compassionate care tailored for teens and young adults to build resilience and lasting well-being.

Medication management is an essential component of treatment for some teens aged 14 to 17 who experience substance use disorders and/or mental health conditions such as anxiety, depression, ADHD, or mood disorders. When combined with therapy, medication can help stabilize symptoms, allowing teens to engage in their therapeutic journey and daily life fully. Our approach to medication management is collaborative and careful, ensuring that each adolescent receives the appropriate support for their unique needs. By closely monitoring effects and making adjustments as necessary, we help teens experience the full benefit of their treatment in a safe and effective manner.

What Our Medication Management Program Offers

Our program provides comprehensive and compassionate services tailored to the needs of each adolescent:

Individualized Medication Plans
Each teen’s medication plan is carefully crafted based on their diagnosis, needs, and treatment goals. Our medical team works closely with families to ensure medications are both effective and aligned with each teen’s well-being.

Ongoing Monitoring and Adjustments
Regular check-ins and assessments allow our providers to monitor the effectiveness of medications, manage side effects, and make any necessary adjustments. This approach ensures that each teen’s treatment remains responsive to their changing needs.

Education and Support
We believe in empowering teens and their families through education. Our team provides clear, understandable information about medications, including how they work and what to expect, so everyone feels informed and comfortable.

Close Collaboration with Therapists
Medication management is coordinated with each teen’s therapy team to ensure a holistic approach to treatment. This collaboration helps create a seamless integration of therapeutic and medical support.

Family Involvement and Guidance
We recognize the importance of family in the treatment process. Families are invited to be involved in discussions about medication, enabling them to provide support and understand how to help their teen manage their treatment at home.
