Contact UsWhat Is Primary Care?
A primary care provider is your first point of contact when it comes to managing your health. Primary care physicians commonly work with patients to diagnose and treat acute illnesses, manage ongoing care, or prevent future health problems from developing. In the context of mental health, primary care may refer to the treatment of conditions like depression or anxiety that may not necessarily require more extensive attention. It may also cover the management of prescription medications.

About UsPrimary Care FAQs
What kinds of health concerns can primary care help with?
Even if you are in behavioral health or sober living, primary care is still your hub for overall medical needs. They can treat common illnesses, manage chronic conditions like diabetes or high blood pressure, monitor labs, refill appropriate medications, and coordinate care with your mental health team. Primary care also keeps an eye on how psychiatric meds, MAT, or substance use history may affect your physical health.
What if I miss a primary care visit?
If you miss a visit, let the office know as soon as possible so they can reschedule and keep your care on track. In behavioral health and sober living settings, staying consistent with medical appointments is important for medication monitoring and documentation. Frequent no-shows can interrupt prescriptions or clearances you may need.
Should I continue primary care while getting treatment for addiction?
Yes. In fact, it is strongly recommended. Addiction treatment addresses one part of your health, but primary care monitors everything else, including liver function, blood pressure, infections, women’s health, and vaccines. Keeping both providers in the loop helps them coordinate and support long-term recovery.
What services does primary care include?
Primary care includes a range of services such as preventive care, routine check-ups, vaccinations, management of chronic conditions, acute illness treatment, and coordination of care.
Why is primary care important?
Primary care is essential for maintaining overall health and well-being. It focuses on preventive measures, early detection of health issues, and managing chronic conditions, contributing to better long-term health outcomes.
How often should I have a primary care check-up?
The frequency of primary care check-ups depends on various factors, including age, health status, and risk factors. Adults may generally benefit from an annual check-up, while certain populations or individuals with specific health concerns may require more frequent visits.
