Personalized Medication Insights

Finding the right mental health medication can be a long and frustrating process. At Camelback Recovery in Phoenix, Arizona, we’re proud to offer GeneSight® testing, an innovative tool that helps your provider understand how your unique genetic makeup affects your response to commonly prescribed mental health medications. This means fewer medication trials, faster relief, and more confident treatment decisions.

What Is the GeneSight Test?

The GeneSight Psychotropic Test is a simple, noninvasive genetic test designed to guide your provider in selecting the best medication options for you. Using a quick cheek swab, GeneSight analyzes specific genes that influence how your body metabolizes and responds to antidepressants, mood stabilizers, and other psychiatric medications.

By understanding your genetic profile, your clinician can identify which medications are more likely to be effective, which may need dose adjustments, and which could cause unwanted side effects. This precision-based approach helps create a more personalized and successful treatment plan.

How the GeneSight Test Works

Step 1

A trained staff member collects your DNA sample using a simple cheek swab during your visit to Camelback Recovery.

Step 2

The sample is sent to the GeneSight laboratory for genetic analysis. Results are typically ready in about two business days.

Step 3

Your provider reviews the results with you and adjusts your treatment plan accordingly helping you find the right medication faster and with fewer side effects.

Why GeneSight Testing Matters

For many people, finding the right medication can involve months or even years of trial and error. GeneSight testing eliminates much of that uncertainty by identifying which medications align best with your genetic profile.

This approach is especially beneficial if you have:

  • Tried multiple antidepressants or mood stabilizers without success
  • Experienced strong side effects from your current medications
  • A family history of poor medication response

At Camelback Recovery, we integrate GeneSight testing into our evidence-based treatment programs, ensuring each client receives the most effective care for their unique biology.

Insurance & Cost

Many insurance providers cover part or all of the GeneSight test. Financial assistance is available for qualifying patients, and interest-free payment plans can help spread out costs over time.
