Aripiprazole works by adjusting the levels of certain neurotransmitters in the brain, such as dopamine and serotonin, which are involved in regulating mood and behavior.In a drug treatment facility like Pegasus School, aripiprazole may be used to help manage symptoms of substance withdrawal, particularly in cases where there is an underlying mental health condition, such as schizophrenia or bipolar disorder. Aripiprazole may also be used as part of a comprehensive treatment plan for individuals with co-occurring substance use and mental health disorders.
