Our Services
At The Anchor Point Clinic, we offer comprehensive, patient-centered care to support recovery from psychosis. Our services include expert diagnostic evaluations and personalized treatment planning, advanced medication management including clozapine, long-acting injectables, neurostimulation options like electroconvulsive therapy (ECT), and holistic integration of family and other supports in the recovery process.
We ensure continuity of care between inpatient and outpatient settings and guide our Psychiatric Advance Directives (PAD) Clinic to help individuals plan for future mental health care needs.
Diagnostic evaluation and treatment planning
We provide expertise in diagnostic assessment and recommendations for future treatment planning. We center an individual's personal goals at the core of our treatment planning process and work to educate everyone we work with about what they are going through.
Expertise in the treatment of psychosis with medications and neurostimulation
For many individuals, medications are an essential part of their recovery. We offer state-of-the-art pharmacologic treatment, with medication selection designed to address symptoms as much as possible while minimizing side effects. We have expertise in clozapine, a medication that can be uniquely effective for persistent symptoms when all other medications fail. We also prescribe and administer medications in long-acting injectable formulations, which replace the need to take a pill every day with a once-per-month injection given in our clinic. Additionally, we offer electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) as an adjunctive treatment when medications alone are not sufficient to alleviate distressing and impairing symptoms.
Involvement of family and other supports in treatment
For many individuals, their recovery involves other important people in their lives. We incorporate family, friends, and other supports into treatment planning in a manner that respects an individual's confidentiality while maximizing positive impact on recovery.
Continuity of care between acute inpatient hospitalization and outpatient treatment
While we try to avoid hospitalization as much as possible, many individuals benefit from inpatient treatment. We have found that communication between inpatient and outpatient providers is critical for comprehensive treatment planning. Many of our physicians work in inpatient and outpatient settings, greatly enhancing the quality of care for patients receiving inpatient and outpatient treatment.
Psychiatric Advanced Directives (PAD) Clinic
The UI Health Psychiatric Advanced Directives (PAD) Clinic offers an opportunity to discuss and complete a psychiatric advance directive. A psychiatric advance directive is a legal document that details your preferences for future mental health treatment and names an individual of your choice to make treatment decisions if you are in crisis or unable to make decisions.
