an important note on controlled substances…
We aim to treat each client individually as opposed to setting strict rules for prescribing. That being said, ample education and experiences have informed the following:
-
We prefer not to initiate stimulant treatment unless you have been formally diagnosed with ADHD through neuropsychological testing. If you are already on a stimulant we can continue that treatment if records from your previous prescriber are provided. We are happy to provide non-stimulant options for treating ADHD!
-
We are happy to provide limited quantities of benzodiazepines on an as needed basis. We do not believe in daily benzo use but are happy to provide education on or initiate a slow taper process with you. Benzos are like a band-aid as opposed to a cure for your anxiety and can have long term risks including cognitive decline. We have had success in tapering several clients down from daily use to as needed use only. This process can take months as we taper very slowly and safely. We also recommend the use of alternative meds to assist you during the taper process.
-
We are not entirely opposed to utilizing these medications for sleep but prefer trying alternative options first. There are several non-addictive medications for sleep that can be taken on an as needed basis. If you are already on a controlled med for sleep we are open to continuing that treatment but would encourage trying alternative options if you have not already.
