Is Switching From Perphenazine In Tablet Form To Injection Form A Good Idea?

My daughter is supposed to take perphenazine tablets to help her with a psychosis episode and may be bipolar disorder. She admitted to not swallowing the tablets and throwing them into the trash later. Is switching to an injection form of perphenazine a good idea?
