Why Integrative Psychiatric Care Matters

Mental health and physical health are deeply connected. That’s why we believe in treating the whole person—not just symptoms in isolation. When psychiatry works in collaboration with therapy, lifestyle changes, and community support, long-term healing becomes more possible.

Integrative psychiatric care considers the biological, psychological, social, and spiritual components of wellness. It recognizes that medication may relieve certain symptoms, but true healing requires a multidimensional approach.

Psychiatric care at Altura is never about “just taking a pill.” It’s about helping you:

Understand your symptoms
Explore medication options (if needed)
Monitor and adjust treatment as you grow
Combine medical and non-medical support
Feel empowered in your own care decisions

Why Integrative Psychiatric Care Is Essential for Lasting Recovery

What We Support

Anxiety or panic attacks

Bipolar disorder

Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) for Addiction

For individuals recovering from opioid or alcohol addiction, MAT may be part of the journey. Our team can connect you with safe, evidence-based options such as:

Buprenorphine or Suboxone
Naltrexone (oral or injectable)
Antabuse (disulfiram)
Medication to manage cravings or withdrawal symptoms

When combined with therapy, accountability, and life skills development, MAT helps reduce relapse risk and stabilize individuals early in recovery.

We support MAT with clinical structure, education, and care coordination—not judgment or shortcuts.

Psychiatry and Therapy: Stronger Together

Therapy and medication can work powerfully when used in tandem. Your therapist helps you:

Process thoughts, behaviors, and trauma
Learn new coping skills
Develop accountability and structure

Your psychiatric provider helps:

Regulate brain chemistry
Reduce extreme symptoms (depression, mania, psychosis, etc.)
Monitor your body’s response to medication over time

Together, they help you move from survival to resilience. That’s the power of integrated care.

05.

Psychiatry and Holistic Wellness

We believe that mental health recovery happens at multiple levels. Psychiatric support is most effective when integrated with:

Nutrition: Food affects brain function. Balanced eating supports emotional regulation, energy, and sleep. We help clients explore healthy, realistic meal routines.
Fitness: Exercise increases dopamine, serotonin, and confidence. From walks to strength training, we support realistic movement goals.
Yoga and Breathwork: Gentle movement and focused breathing help calm the nervous system, reduce anxiety, and connect body to mind.
Meditation: Developing stillness helps clients notice triggers, shift habits, and gain clarity.
Therapy: Weekly therapy provides the space to reflect, grow, and stay on track.

We don’t expect clients to do everything at once. We introduce small, sustainable shifts that amplify the benefits of psychiatric care.

06.

Do I Need Medication?

That’s a common question—and a valid one. You don’t need to decide that alone. Our psychiatric evaluations are gentle, thorough, and judgment-free. We’ll listen to your experiences and discuss:

Whether medication may be helpful
What options are available
Potential side effects and interactions
How medication fits into your goals

Some clients benefit from a short course of medication. Others find ongoing support helpful. Many try and adjust as they grow.

You’ll never be pushed into a decision—and you’ll never walk through it alone.

07.

Psychiatric Support for Every Stage of Recovery

Whether you’re brand new to therapy or have been managing your mental health for years, we meet you where you are. Psychiatric care can support:

Stabilization: When symptoms feel overwhelming or dangerous
Growth: When you’re ready to function at a higher level
Maintenance: To stay consistent, grounded, and clear-headed

We also help clients transition off medication safely if and when appropriate—always with support, supervision, and personal agency.

You Deserve Integrated, Compassionate Care

You don’t need to figure this out on your own. Whether you’re:

Wondering if your symptoms are “bad enough”
Trying to avoid another crisis
Seeking answers beyond another prescription

Altura Recovery offers a space for collaboration, not pressure. We’re here to understand your needs and connect you with the right resources.

At Altura Recovery, we prioritize safe and effective medication practices, ensuring that clients receive the most appropriate pharmacological support for their needs.

This ongoing evaluation process helps mitigate potential side effects while maximizing the benefits of medication, ultimately supporting clients in achieving greater stability and quality of life.
