Programs that provide ongoing medication management services for children and/or adults who require psychiatric medication to manage their symptoms and who have received a prescription for an appropriate drug. Medication monitoring services include periodic follow-up to evaluate the effectiveness of the medication in modifying the individual's behavior, provide for early recognition and minimization of undesirable side effects, make necessary dosage adjustments, provide educational interventions, as needed, and ensure that medication is, in fact, being taken as prescribed. Some programs may conduct special outreach to help homeless individuals with a mental illness or other groups to initiate and follow through with treatment.
