Medication Management, KY
While medication is often used in conjunction with psychotherapy for clients in order to help them work through their mental illness, medications can be dangerous if not administered and monitored correctly.


Medication management provides one-on-one care that allows for individualized treatment and regular check-ins with the patient, ensuring proper use of the medications prescribed. It also bridges the gap in healthcare, effectively communicating between multiple health care providers in order to ensure that no dangerous drug interactions exist. The National Pharmaceutical Counsel and American Hospital Association estimate 125,000 or more deaths yearly from medication mis-management, and this could be prevented by managing medications.

Our trained nurse practitioner is always available to assist in this process. Christine Dalton will ensure that you or your child are taking the medications to most effectively help your disorder, while also checking for harmful drug interactions, ensuring that you are complying with the treatment plan, and ensuring that no complications will occur.

Outpatient psychiatry is an alternative form of treatment for individuals who do not want to be hospitalized for their emotional or mental disorder. Outpatient psychiatry allows the client to continue on their daily patterns and activities but still seek psychotherapy therapy in order to control substance abuse problems, coping with daily challenges, or managing mental illnesses such as depression, bipolar disorder, or personality disorders.

Also, outpatient psychiatry can be used as a transition from inpatient psychiatry, in order to help the client adjust and return to their normal way of life after being released from an inpatient facility. Because psychiatrists are able to prescribe and manage medications, outpatient psychiatry separates itself from traditional psychiatry by utilizing mood-stabilizing drugs to control chemical imbalances in the brain, therefore helping the client manage their mental illness while returning to daily activities and lifestyles.

As a trained nurse practitioner, Christine Dalton can effectively ensure proper dosing, can educate you on the adverse effects of the medication, especially if combined with drugs that could cause negative interactions, and can help you effectively plan your treatment in order to return to your normal activities. Her experience will make you feel comfortable and secure in the decision to begin medication as a treatment option. Though many people are often uneasy about adding medications to their therapy, the addition of proper medication can increase effectiveness of therapy significantly for clients with certain disorders.

Many people suffer from mental disorders and need assistance in coping with their symptoms. Outpatient therapy and medication management can help. According to data collected by the National Institute of Mental Health Disorders , It is estimated that over one quarter of American adults suffer from a diagnosable mental disorder, and almost 10% of Americans suffer from a depressive illness yearly, such as major depression, dysthymia, or bipolar disorder). Seeking help with Dalton & Associates can help.
