GeneSight® Testing in Highland and Brighton, MI
A Personalized Approach to Mental Health Medication Management
At Revival Recovery Center, we believe that every individual deserves a treatment plan that’s tailored to their unique biology. That’s why we proudly offer GeneSight® Testing—a state-of-the-art pharmacogenomic tool that helps guide mental health medication decisions based on your DNA.
For many, finding the right psychiatric medication can be a frustrating journey of trial and error. Some medications don’t work at all. Others may come with uncomfortable side effects. GeneSight® aims to change that.
What Is GeneSight® Testing?
GeneSight® is a genetic test that analyzes specific DNA markers related to how your body metabolizes and responds to over 60 psychiatric medications, including those used for:
- Depression
- Anxiety
- Bipolar disorder
- ADHD
- PTSD
- Obsessive-compulsive disorder
This test uses a simple cheek swab and typically delivers results within just a few days. Backed by over a decade of clinical research and used by over 2 million patients, GeneSight® offers powerful insights to guide treatment choices and reduce guesswork.

Why Consider GeneSight®?
Traditional medication prescribing often doesn’t consider your unique genetic profile. That can lead to:
- Delayed symptom relief
- Unwanted side effects
- Trial-and-error frustrations
- Higher healthcare costs
GeneSight® helps reduce these barriers by giving your provider information about how your body may respond to specific medications. With this knowledge, we can recommend a medication more likely to be effective—and better tolerated.
