Frequently asked questions
Do I have to be in therapy to use medication management? No. Medication management is a separate service and doesn't require you to also be in therapy. You can search for and book with a prescriber at any time.

Both types of providers are available through Grow Therapy and can provide high-quality medication management.
Can I switch prescribers if my needs change? Yes. You can search for a new prescriber using the steps above and book an intake appointment at any time. It's a good idea to let your current prescriber know if you're planning to transition your care.
