Evaluation and Care
At Recover Integrity, we recognize that individuals seeking help may present with either complex mental health disorders or a combination of mental health and substance use disorders (dual diagnosis). Our approach is rooted in a deep understanding of the multifaceted nature of these conditions, and we are committed to providing a comprehensive, individualized care plan that addresses both the psychological and psychiatric dimensions of each client’s situation.
Our psychiatric evaluation is an integral part of our holistic approach to treatment. This evaluation involves an in-depth assessment conducted by our experienced psychiatrists, who work collaboratively with each client to gather comprehensive information about their mental health. This process includes exploring current and historical psychiatric symptoms, moods, trauma, relationship patterns, communication styles, and both family and social history. By identifying the complexities of each individual’s mental health landscape, we are able to tailor a treatment plan that addresses the unique challenges they face.
We understand that psychiatric care, particularly in relation to medication, requires a thoughtful and nuanced approach. At Recover Integrity, we do not subscribe to a one-size-fits-all ideology regarding medication. Instead, we recognize that each person’s needs are different, and we approach psychiatric care through a multidisciplinary lens. This means taking into account the broader social context, as well as the individual’s personal preferences and past experiences with medication.
For clients with complex psychiatric disorders, sometimes medication may be a first-line defense. In other instances our team is conservative and careful in its prescribing practices. We are fully aware of the potential risks, including the relationship clients may develop with their medications and the possibility of unwanted side effects. Our goal is to balance the benefits of psychiatric medications with the need to minimize harm and ensure that each client’s treatment plan is sustainable and effective in the long term.
Our psychiatrists are an integral part of the treatment team, meeting regularly with clients to monitor progress, adjust care plans, and provide ongoing education about their psychiatric conditions and treatment options. We honor and respect each client’s preferences when it comes to their psychiatric care, ensuring that they are active participants in decisions regarding their treatment.
This holistic and client-centered approach to psychiatric care, combined with our commitment to treating both mental health and substance use disorders, is what sets Recover Integrity apart. We integrate psychiatric care thoughtfully into our broader therapeutic framework, ensuring that each client receives the comprehensive and compassionate care they need to achieve lasting recovery.
