Pharmacogenomic (PGX) Testing
Precision Medicine for Mental Health & Recovery
Why PGx Matters
Every patient’s body processes medications differently. Traditional “trial-and-error” prescribing can take weeks or months, often leading to side effects, treatment failure, and frustration.
PGx Testing changes that.
By analyzing genetic variations, PGx provides insights into how a patient will respond to specific medications. This allows providers to choose the right drug at the right dose the first time.

How PGx Supports Addiction Recovery
- Targeted Medication Choices: Reveals how a patient’s body metabolizes medications, guiding providers to the safest, most effective options.
- Personalized Dosing: Genetic insights into enzymes like CYP2D6 and CYP3A4 allow precise dosing for opioids, antidepressants, and alcohol-use disorder medications.
- Fewer Side Effects, Better Results: Predicts patient reactions to meds, reducing risks like sedation, agitation, or poor tolerance.
