Negotiating a Medication Treatment Plan.

As difficult as it may be for someone to decide to seek mental health care, following up with repeat appointments is more difficult. A common route to that first appointment is discharge from an emergency department or a first hospitalization following a mental health crisis. Best practice in discharge planning is establishing an appointment with an outpatient therapist. Key to establishing care with a mental health professional is building a relationship based on trust and compassion. Establishing that relationship takes time, yet the beginning of that process occurs in the initial appointment and negotiation of a plan of care that the client can commit to. This article focuses on the process of negotiating a plan of care that is collaboratively agreed upon and renegotiated as appropriate. When the plan of care is collaboratively developed, psychotherapy and pharmacotherapy adherence become non-issues because the client and provider have established trust and a clear path to achieve the desired goals.
