Health and Wellness
Access to the mental health care they need is the entry point for most of our clients. Many have suffered for years without seeing a doctor or receiving a proper diagnosis. Health care prevention means saved money, time and lives.
Green Door Behavioral Health encourages health promotion, provides primary care, and oversees medication therapy management to ensure our clients have a holistic view of their health and care.
MEDICATION MANAGEMENT
In the summer of 2015, Green Door launched a partnership with Howard University College of Pharmacy. The GOAL of the Howard University College of Pharmacy Medication Management Service is to help Green Door clients get the BEST BENEFITS from their medication by actively managing drug therapy and by identifying, preventing and resolving medication-related problems.
