Can I come to Positive Impact if I only want medication and do not need therapy?
Positive Impacts primary service is psychotherapy. We believe that medication and therapy work best when used together. We require all clients who meet with our psychiatrist for medication to also be attending therapy. If you do not believe that therapy is appropriate for you but need to continue taking a medication, you can call 1-800-715-4225 and you will be able to make an appointment at the Community Service Board.
