Can I Keep Taking My Antidepressant During Treatment?

Many people facing addiction also have a co-occurring mental health disorder, such as depression, and may be currently taking a psychiatric medication when they begin treatment at ORC.

It’s also possible to experience a mental health crisis due to depression and require further care even when already prescribed a psychiatric medication.

Whether you are taking a prescribed antidepressant for depression alone or are experiencing a co-occurring disorder, we ask that you bring your currently prescribed medication with you when beginning treatment here at ORC. Your initial assessment and evaluation will allow you to discuss your care needs and recovery goals with your care team, who will provide regular monitoring during treatment and other medication management services to make sure those needs and goals are met. 

Medication Management

Medication management means that your care team will review and hold your prescription medication, dispense it at the appropriate time(s), and provide regular monitoring of your symptoms. It may involve adjusting the dosage of the medication or recommending another medication in its place if the desired outcomes aren’t being achieved.
