GeneSight ®Testing by Assurex Health is DNA based personalized psychopharmacology based on how an individual metabolizes a medication. Using GeneSight® allows for a tailored medication match to get on the right treatment faster.

GeneSight analyzes a child’s genes to help the healthcare provider select which medications are more likely to work better for each child’s specific needs and less likely to cause side effects. There are GeneSight ® tests available for ADHD, depression, anxiety, bipolar disease or other behavioral health-care conditions. GeneSight ® testing is typically covered by insurance and/or by Medicaid.

• Emergency Shelter Care This program offers a 24-hour secure facility for adolescents; providing stabilization and effective transition for those who may have disrupted another placement or who are in current crisis. The goal of the emergency shelter care program is to:

• Provide a 24 hour secure placement option for youth that have met criteria to be removed from an established placement or dysfunctional home by children service.

• Stabilize the youth and prevent any further re-traumatization that may already come with the placement.

• Work collaboratively with families, kin, providers and referral sources to ensure a smooth and effective transition to community-based or other placements once a client’s needs have been identified.
