Ensuring Safe and Effective Use
At Desert Sage Behavioral Health, long-acting injectables are administered in a controlled, clinical setting to ensure safety and proper dosing. These medications are prescribed only after a comprehensive evaluation and are monitored closely to minimize side effects and track your response. This structured approach supports both immediate and long-term wellness.
Process and What to Expect
Once prescribed, LAIs are administered during a quick in-office visit. The injection is given at regular intervals—such as every two weeks or monthly—depending on your specific medication and needs. We’ll guide you through the process, explain what to expect, and ensure you're supported at every step of your care.
Why It Is Important
Consistency is vital in managing chronic mental health conditions. Missed doses of medication can lead to relapse, hospitalization, or worsening symptoms. Long-acting injectables help maintain therapeutic levels of medication in your system, reducing those risks and supporting a more stable path to recovery.
