Medication Information
Medication FAQ
Pain Control
We are committed to safe and effective pain management. Due to the ongoing opioid epidemic in the United States, many conditions can be managed successfully with non-narcotic medications and therapies.
- If we cannot adequately control your pain using non-opioid treatments, we will refer you to a pain management specialist.
- We do not prescribe opioid (narcotic) medications in this clinic.
Stimulant Medications
(Prescription amphetamines for conditions such as ADHD/ADD)
- In general, we do not prescribe stimulant medications to adults.
- For adults needing evaluation or treatment for ADHD or ADD, we will refer you to behavioral health services.
- Stimulants may be prescribed for children when appropriate.
Anxiety Medications
- We do not prescribe Xanax (alprazolam). This is a controlled substance with a high potential for addiction.
- We will work with you to find alternative, non-addictive treatments for anxiety, or refer you to behavioral health services for further care.
Long-Term Controlled Substance Use
If you have been taking long-term opioids, benzodiazepines, or other controlled substances:
- We can assist you in connecting with a detoxification facility or specialized care to safely discontinue these medications.
