This agreement aims to set out the rules that this office follows to prescribe medications controlled by the Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA). We are committed to making sure we address your needs while providing you with alternatives designed to minimize the addictive potential of the controlled substance treatments we use. In this regard, we may refer you to a pain management program to ensure you have access to the best, safest treatment available. If your controlled substance medication (pain, stimulant, sedative) requires ongoing prescriptions that have significant addiction potential, we will be requesting you to see a specialist as applicable. To clarify our expectations in giving you this medication and emphasize the risk of taking these substances, we ask you to read and sign this agreement.
I understand that I am being prescribed a controlled substance; therefore, I must adhere to the following restrictions. Failure to conform to the below-listed limits may result in being dismissed as a patient and reported to the police.
No refills will be authorized on weekends, holidays, or after office hours. However, the provider may make an exception if you are seen for an office visit with a copy of a completed police report.
Only the person for whom the official is written may retrieve the prescription if the patient is unavailable. Please list the designee below; the designee must show picture identification.
I have read the above, asked questions, and understand this agreement. If I violate this agreement, the physician may discontinue my treatment.
