What is Medication?
Medication is a substance prescribed to treat or manage medical or mental health conditions. In addiction recovery and mental health treatment, medication can be crucial for managing withdrawal symptoms, reducing cravings, stabilizing mood, and addressing co-occurring disorders like anxiety or depression. Medications such as antidepressants, antipsychotics, or mood stabilizers are commonly used to support therapeutic goals and improve patient well-being.
Medications are often part of a comprehensive treatment plan tailored to individual needs.
