Becoming a Patient
Background Checks
In light of the epidemic of opioid misuse and diversion, we screen our patients with a background check. Don’t worry we never turn away a patient because of a background issue. We will, however, if there is an issue , use our in-house monitoring system we call TierII, or we may not treat with medications known to be diverted on the street for sale.
Drug Screens
Drug screens will be required as a new patient and then randomly obtained throughout the year. The purpose of the screen is to identify that the medications prescribed are being taken and also to make sure other medications or illicit substances are not being taken. If any irregularities occur during a drug screen, a patient may be required to any one of the following.
1. Come in again in 2 weeks for another screen. 2. Be placed in our in- house high risk program called Tier II.
Be discharged from practice pending an evaluation and recommendation to continue treatment by a certified addictionologist. 3. Be discharged completely from practice. The circumstances of the irregularity will determine which one of these courses of action be applied.
