CARE BUILT AROUND YOUR NEEDS

A collaborative approach to psychiatric medication care

Medication management includes discussing your concerns, considering treatment options, and reviewing how a medication is working when one is prescribed. Your goals, health history, preferences, and questions are part of that conversation.

You do not need to receive therapy at Creekside to ask about medication management. If you also work with a therapist, discuss care coordination with your prescriber and any authorization needed to share information.

Medication decisions are individualized. An appointment does not guarantee a prescription or a particular medication.

What to expect

Your first appointment

An initial visit provides time to discuss what brought you in, your mental and physical health history, prior treatment, and current medications or supplements. Bring your questions and information about medications you have tried.

Initial medication management appointments are generally 40–60 minutes; confirm the time reserved for your provider and visit.

Follow-up appointments

If medication is part of your plan, follow-ups give you and your prescriber an opportunity to discuss symptoms, possible benefits, side effects, and next steps.

Medication follow-ups are generally 20–30 minutes. Your provider will discuss follow-up timing based on your care needs.

These are general expectations, not a substitute for your provider’s instructions. Contact your prescriber about medication questions or concerns.

Questions about getting started

Can I book medication management online?

The current online scheduler is for selected therapy appointments. For medication management, complete the prospective client form — opens in a new tab or call (303) 770-6933. Our client care team will help arrange the next step.

Do I need therapy at Creekside too?

No. You can receive therapy, medication management, or both. Discuss coordination with any outside therapist or other professionals with your prescriber.

Is the intake process different for Medicaid clients?

Yes. Medicaid clients meet with an intake clinician before the first appointment with their ongoing therapist or prescriber. Our client care team will help arrange these appointments and explain the process.

What paperwork should I complete?

Our team will send the forms needed for your care through IntakeQ. Please complete the forms sent to you before your first appointment, and tell us if you need another way to complete them. Visit our paperwork FAQ or Notices & Forms for more information.
