Clozaril
Clinic - Clozaril is a potent atypical antipsychotic
medication
that requires very close monitoring. The Clozaril
Clinic is designed to provide intensive medication
support to those designated chronic and pervasively
mentally ill clients who have been treatment
resistant to other antipsychotic medications.
All Clozaril clients are seen weekly in a medication
support group facilitated by a licensed nurse.
The purpose of the group is primarily
for assessment of client well-being,
monitoring adherence to the medication
regimen, observing for potential side-effects/adverse
effects of the medication, providing
medication education, and encouraging
appropriate socialization. |

by a licensed nurse. Clozaril is dispensed
every two weeks to clients based upon
the satisfactory results of the blood
tests. |
