Choosing the right psychiatric medicine requires more than writing a prescription. At Koshish Clinic, medication management begins with a detailed assessment and continues through regular monitoring and follow-up.
Our team reviews your symptoms, medical and mental-health history, current medicines, previous treatments, possible side effects and personal recovery goals. If medication is appropriate, your clinician explains its purpose, how to take it safely and what follow-up may be required.
Medication may be used on its own or alongside counseling, rehabilitation and family support, depending on your individual needs.
Psychiatric medication management is a structured process in which a qualified clinician selects, monitors and adjusts medicine according to your diagnosis and response to treatment.
It may include:
Medication is not automatically recommended to everyone. The decision is made after an individual assessment and discussion with the patient.
Consider arranging a medication review if:
Do not start, stop or change the dose of a prescribed medicine without speaking to a qualified clinician.
Medication can support recovery from alcohol or opioid dependence, but no single medicine is suitable for everyone. Treatment should be based on a clinical assessment and combined with psychological or rehabilitation support when appropriate.
Medicines such as naltrexone, acamprosate or disulfiram may be considered as part of treatment for alcohol use disorder. Naltrexone may reduce alcohol’s rewarding effects, acamprosate can support continued abstinence, and disulfiram discourages drinking by causing an unpleasant and potentially serious reaction with alcohol. These are different options, not an automatic three-medicine combination. A clinician must consider alcohol use, withdrawal risk, physical health, other medicines and recovery goals before recommending treatment.
International clinical guidance recognises methadone, buprenorphine and naltrexone as medication options for opioid use disorder. Methadone and buprenorphine can help control withdrawal symptoms and cravings. Naltrexone blocks opioid effects and requires careful timing after opioids have been stopped. These medicines represent different treatment pathways rather than a routine combination. Their use requires specialist assessment, careful supervision and compliance with local prescribing regulations. Please contact Koshish Clinic to confirm which options are currently available.
