You are encouraged to bring all of your current medications with you to treatment. Our doctor will go over each one with you during his initial assessment. We do not allow certain medications while in treatment, including benzodiazepines and many pain medications/ narcotics as they are highly addictive and abused substances. However, we can usually substitute these medications with something else that will still treat the same symptoms but significantly reduce the negative effects. When you are taken off medications, it is usually done gradually and safely. We often use taper medications to help ease the withdrawal symptoms experienced during this process. All of this is done in a safe environment and is closely monitored by our medical doctor.
