A Careful, Clinical Approach
to Treatment
At True North Clinic, we take the responsibility of prescribing psychiatric medication very seriously. Our Medication Management services are designed to ensure that each client receives the right medication, at the right dose, for their unique needs and circumstances.
Psychiatric medications can be a vital part of recovery from mental health and substance use disorders—but only when used appropriately and as part of a comprehensive care plan. Our approach is grounded in clinical evidence, compassion, and collaboration.
Medication Management is more than just writing prescriptions. It’s an ongoing process of assessment, adjustment, and education. Each client works directly with a psychiatric provider to:
-
Review psychiatric and medical history
-
Evaluate current and past medication use
-
Monitor the effectiveness of prescribed medications
-
Manage side effects and reduce risks
-
Understand how medications support overall treatment goals
We tailor each treatment plan to align with individual diagnoses, lifestyle, and preferences—ensuring clients are fully informed and involved in every decision.
What to Expect with Medication Management
Why Medication Management Matters
Proper psychiatric medication can significantly reduce symptoms of conditions such as:
-
Anxiety and panic disorders
-
Depression and mood disorders
-
Bipolar disorder
-
PTSD and trauma-related conditions
-
Schizophrenia or psychotic disorders
-
Co-occurring mental health and substance use disorders
When carefully managed, medications can stabilize mood, improve daily functioning, and make it easier for clients to engage in therapy and other supports.
Medication Management is appropriate for individuals who:
-
Are starting psychiatric treatment for the first time
-
Have had inconsistent results with past medications
-
Are experiencing side effects or lack of symptom relief
-
Want professional guidance on adjusting or maintaining a current regimen
Who Should Consider Medication Management?
Compassionate, Evidence-Based Care
Medication alone is rarely the full solution. That’s why we integrate medication management into a broader treatment framework that may include therapy, case management, peer support, or substance use treatment. Our goal is always to support long-term wellness—not just symptom control.

Statewide Virtual Services
In addition to in-person services we offer at True North Clinic, we also continue to provide services virtually, also known as telepsychiatry and telehealth services. These cutting-edge healthcare practices enable assessment and treatment through technology, typically by way of video conferencing. This approach opens up treatment opportunities to a wider audience, eliminating barriers like transportation or geographical constraints.
