This Thanksgiving, we’re reflecting on what it means to care: for one another, for our communities, and for the individuals whose health journeys we’re proud to support.

To our care partners, teams, and the individuals we serve, thank you for the trust, dedication, and hope you bring to this work every day.

From all of us at Altruix, we wish you a safe and peaceful Thanksgiving filled with gratitude and connection.

A recent study examined more than 100,000 individuals living with opioid use disorder to understand what factors contribute to emergency room visits.

The findings were clear: individuals receiving medication for opioid use disorder (MOUD) — including buprenorphine-based treatments — were significantly less likely to visit the ER within six months compared to those receiving no treatment at all.

The study also found that early intervention, consistent access to therapy, and coordinated care reduced both ER visits and inpatient stays. For providers and care teams, it reinforces an essential point: timely, ongoing access to medication isn’t just about adherence; it’s about preventing crises and saving lives.

For those living with mental health or substance use challenges, getting care is only half the battle.
Insurance hurdles, transportation barriers, or medication access issues can make recovery feel out of reach.

You deserve a care team that helps clear those obstacles and keeps you supported every step of the way.
With the right coordination between providers and pharmacy teams, you don’t have to face those challenges alone.

Every journey toward wellness begins with one thing: access to care you can count on.

In behavioral health, care doesn’t stop when a prescription is written.
The most effective care teams extend beyond the clinic, including pharmacists who help improve adherence, support transitions of care, and ease the administrative burden on providers.

In our recent webinar, Pharmacists on the Frontlines: Expanding the Reach of Behavioral Health Care Teams, we explored how pharmacy collaboration strengthens outcomes for the individuals you serve.

Watch the session to learn how pharmacists:
• Improve adherence to long-acting injectables (LAIs) and other essential medications
• Support high-risk transitions like hospital discharge or therapy initiation
• Help care teams work more efficiently and reduce administrative strain

See real-world examples of how pharmacy partnerships enhance stability, continuity, and outcomes across behavioral health programs.

Every day, behavioral health providers juggle complex treatment plans, shifting regulations, and limited time.
Behind every prescription is a person whose stability depends on consistent, coordinated care.

When providers and pharmacy teams communicate seamlessly, it reduces delays, improves adherence, and helps individuals avoid crisis.
Collaboration isn’t a luxury. It’s a safeguard for health and dignity.

Better coordination doesn’t just improve outcomes.
It restores time, trust, and focus to where they belong: the people at the center of care.

Your pharmacy should never stand in the way of your care plan.

For individuals living with mental or behavioral health conditions, every part of the healthcare system should work together, not against you. But too often, miscommunication between pharmacies, insurance providers, and care teams leads to delays, confusion, and unnecessary stress.

You deserve a pharmacy that sees the full picture. One that coordinates closely with your providers, helps simplify the process, and puts you at the center of care.

That’s exactly what Altruix does. Our person-centered approach helps individuals access the right medications on time, reduce barriers to treatment, and stay supported throughout their recovery journey.

Because care works best when it works together.

Behavioral health demand continues to rise, but the workforce behind it is stretched thinner than ever.

When programs face staffing shortages or funding cuts, even small disruptions in care can have major consequences for the individuals who rely on them.

That’s where strong partnerships make a difference.
Pharmacy teams that coordinate closely with care providers can help maintain stability by managing refills, simplifying prior authorizations, and ensuring continuity when transitions happen.

When every minute matters, collaboration keeps care moving forward.

Literacy is the foundation of effective healthcare, but nearly 9 in 10 US adults have less-than-proficient health literacy, according to a 2022 study by the Milken Institute, which makes it difficult for them to access the care they need, especially for often-stigmatized behavioral healthcare conditions.

Providers have a duty to help the individuals in their care understand their healthcare needs and options, and specialized community pharmacies like Altruix are well equipped to support both sides of the equation.

Those of us who have spent years in behavioral health know how challenging side effects of antipsychotics like Tardive Dyskinesia can be. TD can negatively impact an individual's quality of life; nearly half of individuals experiencing TD also experience anxiety or depression as a result of their symptoms, according to Psychiatric Times.

Our specialized pharmacy services can help you connect the individuals in your care to medications like Austedo and Ingrezza that can improve their quality of life by managing the prior authorization process, navigating financial support options, speeding up the prescription fulfillment process, and offering free delivery.

Provide the medication the individuals in your care need, when they need them. Reach out to us and find out how we can help.

Today, we honor the veterans who have served our country with courage and selflessness.

For many, the path home includes ongoing battles with mental health challenges such as PTSD, depression, or substance use disorder. Access to timely, consistent, and coordinated care can make all the difference in those journeys.

Alongside the behavioral health providers and care teams who serve veterans every day, we help remove barriers to medication access, simplify care coordination, and make it so no one has to face their recovery alone.

This Veterans Day, we stand with them, and with every individual working toward healing and hope.
