Medication Management

Our medication management team is comprised of independent professionals who have partnered with CFT to offer an individualized, whole-person approach towards helping you find the right medications for your situation. Please note that members of our team are unable to treat non-psychiatric medical conditions through CFT and all clients are screened through the Arkansas Prescription Monitoring Program. You are welcome to receive medication management services at CFT while working with an outside therapist.
