Cenikor Introduces Psychiatric Services for Dual-Diagnosis Clients

Houston, TX, July 11, 2024— Cenikor, a leading nonprofit behavioral health treatment network serving over 14,000 people a year, is excited to announce the introduction of comprehensive psychiatric services specifically designed for dual-diagnosis, inpatient clients. These services encompass psychiatric evaluations, medication management, and psychiatric crisis interventions.

Understanding the importance of simultaneously addressing clients’ mental health alongside substance use disorders, the primary goal of these psychiatric services is to help patients thrive through a holistic and collaborative approach.

Some key components of Cenikor’s psychiatric services include:

  1. Psychiatric Evaluation: Psychiatric evaluations, or mental health assessments, are comprehensive evaluations conducted by qualified mental health professionals to assess an individual’s emotional, psychological, and behavioral well-being.
  2. Medication Management: Prescription and monitoring of psychiatric medications to help manage symptoms of mental health conditions such as depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, and schizophrenia.
  3. Crisis Intervention: Immediate support and intervention for individuals experiencing acute mental health crises, including suicidal thoughts, severe anxiety, or psychotic episodes.

Cenikor remains committed to offering integrated, whole-person care for individuals with dual diagnoses, ensuring they receive the best possible treatment for both mental health and substance use disorders. These services are provided by Dr. Jamal Rafique, M.D., a board-certified psychiatrist, who has been providing Cenikor clients with expert care since 2017.

“Our new psychiatric services underscore Cenikor’s commitment to providing comprehensive care for our clients,” said Bill Bailey, President & CEO of Cenikor. “By addressing both mental health and substance use disorders, we are better equipped to support the overall well-being and recovery of our clients.”
