The Hamre Center prescribes and manages mental health medications. All members of our medical provider staff can meet with you and either continue medications you started at home, initiate new prescriptions, or talk to you about ways to integrate medical and counseling care for your mental health. For those who require specialty psychiatric care, our Assistant Director of Counseling — Care Coordination, Jon Vaughan-Fier can help you find a specialty provider off-campus.
FAQ
-
How can I use this service? For most mental health medication needs, simply make an appointment with a member of the medical team. Like most medical visits, these are at no cost to you.
-
What if I need a medication refill? First call your pharmacy or check your prescription bottle to see if you have refills already available. If no refills are available, please make a follow-up appointment with your prescribing provider, or if you need a local provider, an initial mental health appointment with one of our medical team members. If you will run out of medication before your scheduled appointment, contact your provider in the patient portal to request short-term refills.
- For most mental health refills or initiation of a new prescription, we do not require outside medical records, although they can be helpful. Bring pill bottles or pharmacy records if you have them, or copies of off-campus/at home visits if you can obtain them or have them sent to our office by filling out (link to our ROI form)
- For ADHD medications or other controlled substances, please have records from previous providers or prescribers sent to the clinic. Hamre Center medical staff does not initiate stimulant ADHD meds but we can provide refills or help people taper off stimulant medications
