Psychiatric Consultation
As part of the Center’s comprehensive treatment services, we have available five psychiatrists who can evaluate clients when medication may be considered helpful in addition to counseling. If medication is part of the treatment plan, our psychiatrists continue to provide medication management and consultation as part of the treatment team. We are fortunate to have psychiatrists trained in the treatment of children, adolescents, and adults.
