Mental Health Adult Outpatient Services
Medication Services and Medication
Our clinics are staffed with psychiatrists and nurses. Psychiatrists and/or Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioners evaluate patients and prescribe medication to help reduce or eliminate symptoms of mental illness. Your prescriber will see you at regular intervals and monitor your progress, provide education on your medications and order laboratory tests required for the medications you are receiving. Many patients served by Texana qualify for assistance with the cost of medications.
Care Coordination
Care Coordinators help clients and families identify needs, assist in resolving problems, coordinating services and linking with other available resources. Your care coordinator will work with you to develop your personalized recovery plan based on the goals you have for yourself. This includes care coordination for veterans and members of the military.
