To make our services accessible to all community members, we work with various health insurance providers and offer sliding scale fees.

Routine Screening for Mental Health Conditions

Just as we routinely check your blood pressure and listen to your heart, we believe in routinely checking in on your mental health. During your regular check-up, your behavioral health specialist may ask you a series of questions about your mood, energy levels, and overall emotional state. You might also be given a short questionnaire that can help us identify early signs of common mental health conditions such as depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and substance use disorders.

The goal of these screenings is not to immediately assign a diagnosis but to open a dialogue and identify potential areas where you could use help. While the thought of a “mental health screening” may seem intimidating, it’s important to remember that these tests are a normal, essential part of your overall healthcare and nothing to be ashamed of or anxious about.

Prescribing & Monitoring Prescription Medications

When a mental health condition like depression or anxiety is impacting your ability to function and enjoy life, medication can be a highly effective part of a comprehensive treatment plan. As part of our integrated behavioral health model, our primary care physicians are trained and experienced in prescribing and managing medications for many common mental health illnesses. Our aim is to provide medication that offers relief and allows you to more fully engage in other aspects of your life and treatment, such as individual therapy or healthy lifestyle changes.

Once a medication is prescribed, we will schedule regular follow-up appointments to discuss your progress, track your symptoms, and make any necessary adjustments to your dosage. We’ll also talk about how you’re feeling, address any side effects you may be experiencing, and work collaboratively with you to find the optimal balance. 

Treatment for Co-Occurring Disorders

Co-occurring disorders, where mental health issues and substance use intersect, require specialized care. We provide comprehensive assessments and create personalized treatment plans that tackle the complexities of dual diagnosis. Our team then collaborates to deliver holistic care. Trust our team to empower you with the tools and knowledge needed to manage both conditions effectively.

Treatment for Addiction

Addiction can feel isolating, but you’re not alone in this struggle. Our addiction support offers a path to recovery in a judgment-free environment. We provide evidence-based treatments that address the physical, emotional, and social aspects of addiction. We also focus on teaching coping skills, identifying triggers, and creating a sustainable recovery plan. Spectrum is here to guide you towards a healthier, more fulfilling life.
