Question 1

What is medication management?

Accepted Answer

If you are new to medication management, it helps to know what you are signing up for. It is ongoing care with a clinician who is licensed to prescribe, including the follow-up appointments that come after a first visit rather than a one-time prescription. What that schedule looks like is up to you and the clinician. On Alma, browse clinicians in East Patchogue who offer medication management.

Question 2

How do I know if medication is right for me?

It is a decision to make with a licensed clinician who can hear your history and your goals. On Alma, you can find a clinician in East Patchogue who offers medication management and talk it through.

Question 3

Do I need a therapist if I see a prescriber?

Question 5

I already take medication. Can someone on Alma manage it going forward?
