What is Integrated Care?

Integrated care is the coordination of behavioral health management. It combines behavioral health needs, substance abuse issues, and physical health under one roof, with multiple clinicians in close contact with each other, all accessing the same set of medical information.

Being able to provide truly integrated care has been a dream for Sage since its founding. Sage’s Clinic opened on June 3, 2016.

Benefits of Integrated Care:

  • Seamless communication between providers
  • More appropriate and thorough diagnoses
  • More effective, well-rounded treatment and care recommendations
  • Offered in a convenient setting as a one-stop-shop

At the Sage Neuroscience Center, our priority is ensuring that everyone has equal access to the kind of holistic healthcare offered by an integrated care practice.

How Does Integrated Care Work at Sage?

When a patient visits their integrated care physician for assistance with a physical ailment, the initial response is often to regard the issue as strictly physical. However, mental health illnesses often cause physical symptoms. By disregarding this possibility, your integrated care physician may be denying you services that could help improve your situation. For example, anxiety and panic attacks can cause heart palpitations, excessive sweating, and an upset stomach.

At Sage, our doctors are very knowledgeable about the relationships between physical and mental illnesses. As such, they know exactly what questions to ask to get a clear picture of not only your physical health, but your mental health as well. This allows them to make a more accurate diagnosis, prepare a more comprehensive treatment plan, and if necessary, arrange for you to receive therapeutic services such as group or individual counseling.
