Psychiatry & Medication Management

One team, one plan

In many outpatient programs, psychiatry happens somewhere else: a separate office, a separate chart, a separate provider who has never spoken with your therapist. At Pacific Horizon, our psychiatric providers sit in the same clinical meetings as your therapist and case manager. Medication decisions are made with a full picture of how you are doing in group, in individual therapy, and at home.

Whether your primary diagnosis is a substance use disorder, a mental health condition, or both, psychiatric evaluation and medication management are available to you at every level of care, from your first week in PHP through your last month in Outpatient and beyond.
