Short Term Medication Management for Mental Health Concerns
Medication May Be an Option
Psychiatric medications can help with mental health concerns and may be an important part of your treatment. If you're taking medication or want to know if it could help, we're here to guide you. Our CAPS psychiatry providers and Campus Health doctors can assess your needs, prescribe medication, and monitor your progress and any side effects.
How CAPS Psychiatry Works
CAPS offers short-term psychiatry services (about 6-12 weeks) to help students get started or stable on a medication. We also have partnerships for continuing psychiatric care in the community if longer-term or more intensive treatment is needed.
How to Get Started
Transfer a Current Medication
If you are actively taking a prescribed medication, you can schedule a free Medication Transfer Screening by calling CAPS at 520-621-3334.
Important Don’t wait until your medications are almost gone. Contact us when you have at least a month’s supply left to prevent a lapse in your medication.
Start or Restart a Medication
If you are not currently taking a medication, Schedule a Counseling & Consultation session to talk with a counselor about your symptoms and mental health history. They'll talk with you about your options.
Campus Health Primary Care
For students stable on a medication who do not need a new evaluation with a psychiatrist, Campus Health Primary Care may be able to manage ongoing medication refills. Call Campus Health at 520-621-9202 to find out more or speak with a CAPS counselor in a Counseling & Consultation session.
ADHD Medication Management at CAPS
At CAPS, medication management for ADHD requires a formal evaluation and diagnosis first. If you have never been evaluated for ADHD, a CAPS counselor can help you get connected with campus or community ADHD evaluation options.
If you have been previously diagnosed with ADHD, CAPS psychiatry may be a good fit for you.
