Controlled Substances
Controlled Substances: We
attempt to avoid routine use of controlled substances due to
the potential for habituation, addiction, abuse, diversion,
and exacerbation of other medical conditions. Such
medications include "nerve pills" and narcotic "pain"
medication. In the rare event that such medication is
appropriate, we typically require a controlled substances
contract which basically means the patient will keep us
informed of the pharmacy they use, will not get any similar
prescriptions from any other office, will agree to random
drug testing, and will not get early refills under any
circumstances. This policy exists to protect both the
patient and our office.
