VICTORY BAY
Psychiatric Services
Victory Bay ensures all clients receive psychiatric services and that consulting psychiatrists are a part of the multidisciplinary treatment. Beginning with our intake process, our staff begins to collect information related to a client’s psychiatric well-being. All clients are seen by an ASAM certified psychiatrist within 10 days of admission at which time the use of psychotropic medications to manage symptoms is discussed. Our psychiatrists are also available to discuss medication options, process any potential side effects, and discuss the benefits of such an intervention.
