The assessment also evaluates the family structure, educational or occupational functioning, medical, family, and developmental histories. Afterwards one of our board certified professionals will decide on a course of treatment. The behavioral health team works hand in hand with our medical doctors so some patients will be prescribed a medication if medically needed.
