Our practice has a restricted controlled substance policy. It is solely at the discretion of the provider, whether or not to initate or continue any controlled substance following an extensive evaluation. You may continue controlled medication from an outside provider, however, you are required to disclose to the provider any controlled medications you are taking to ensure safety and avoid drug-drug interactions. Controlled substances include stimulants, amphetamines, benzodiazepines, and opioids. If controlled substances are medically necessary, atleast one person office visit will need to be had before any medication is prescribed. Additional paperwork with also needed to be completed in the event any controlled substance is prescribed.
