  • Explanation of Medication-Assisted Treatment

    This explanation of Medication-Assisted Treatment is intended to provide a general framework for addiction treatment. Ultimately, all medical decisions pertaining to a patient’s course of addiction treatment will be at the Ideal Option, PLLC practitioner’s sole discretion and, by signing below, you acknowledge and agree that your course of addiction treatment may vary from the explanation below.

    Intake: You will be given a comprehensive substance dependence assessment, as well as an evaluation of mental status and physical exam. The pros and cons of the treatment medications recommended will be presented to you. Treatment expectations, as well as issues involved with maintenance and medically supervised tapering off the medication will be discussed.

    Induction: Treatment begins here. You will be switched from your current substance of misuse (alcohol, heroin, methadone, prescription painkillers, etc.) to your treatment medication. Your provider will explain the induction process to you.

    If you are prescribed buprenorphine for opioid use disorder, you must be in a state of moderate withdrawal for the medication to work well. If you are not in moderate withdrawal, the medication might make you feel worse rather than better (intensifying withdrawal symptom). This is called precipitated withdrawal.

    It is really important to be truthful with your practitioner about the last time you used, how much you took, which other drugs or medications you used and when you last used them, and how much you took. Your practitioner needs this information to determine the timing of your dose of treatment medication.

    When you leave the office, the practitioner will likely give you a prescription that will last until your next appointment.

    Since an individual’s tolerance and reactions to the medicine vary, daily appointments may be scheduled, and medications will be adjusted until you no longer experience withdrawal symptoms or cravings.

    Stabilization & Maintenance: This is the second phase of treatment. During this phase, your practitioner may continue to adjust your dose of medication until you find the dose that works for you. It is important to take your medicine as directed. During this phase is when you may also begin working on your treatment goals. At times when you feel stressed, or experience triggers or cravings, your practitioner may suggest a dose adjustment, or there may be a need to change the frequency of visits.

    As you achieve your treatment goals and feel confident in your progress, your practitioner may suggest a dose decrease. The maintenance phase is different for every patient. It may last a few weeks for some patients and a few years for others. The most important parts of this phase are your functionality and safety. Some examples of good functionality are active employment, active school, lack of legal trouble, caring for your family, stable finances and just a general improvement in your overall life circumstances.

    Tapering off: There are no time limits for treatment. Length of therapy is determined by you and your practitioner. If you and your practitioner agree that the time is right for a medical taper, he or she will slowly lower your dose (known as a taper), taking care to minimize withdrawal symptoms. If you feel at risk for relapse during a taper, let your practitioner know. You can be re-stabilized and continue maintenance if needed.

    Please note: The treatment medicine prescribed may be a narcotic medication indicated for the maintenance treatment of substance use disorder, available only by prescription and must be taken as prescribed. It is illegal to sell or give away your medicine.

    If at any time you have questions or concerns about your treatment, please call 877-522-1275. We have a dedicated line that will connect you to a nurse 24 hours a day.

  • Informed Consent for Telemedicine

  • What is Telemedicine?

    Telemedicine refers to treatment services that are delivered through electronic communications between a health care provider and a patient or other person who is involved in the patient’s care. The parties use specialized equipment, such as video cameras and monitors, to interact in real time. Some communications, such as transmission of patient records between health care providers, may not occur in real time. 

    What are the Expected Benefits?

    The expected benefits of telemedicine include, but may not be limited to:

    • Improved access to medical care by enabling a patient to receive health care services remotely;
    • More efficient medical evaluation and management; and
    • Obtaining expertise of a distant health care provider or specialist. 

    What are the Possible Risks?

    As with the delivery of any medical service, there are potential risks associated with the use of telemedicine. These risks include, but may not be limited to:

    • Information transmitted may not be sufficient (e.g., poor resolution of images) to allow for appropriate medical decision making by the health care provider;
    • Delays in medical evaluation and treatment could occur due to deficiencies or failures of the equipment or communication network; and
    • In very rare cases, security protocols could fail, causing a breach of privacy of personal information.

    By signing this form, I understand the following:

    • I understand that the laws that protect the privacy and confidentiality of medical information also apply to telemedicine, and that no information obtained in the use of telemedicine which identifies me will be disclosed except as permitted by law;
    • I understand that I have the right to withhold or withdraw my consent to the use of telemedicine in the course of my care at any time.  If I choose to withdraw this consent, Ideal Option will attempt to accommodate.  However, this may result in less flexibility in scheduling appointments.  
    • I understand that telemedicine may involve electronic communication of my personal health information to other health care providers who may be located in other areas, including out of state; and
    • I understand that I may expect the anticipated benefits from the use of telemedicine in my care, but that no results can be guaranteed or assured.

  • Patient Informed Consent for Laboratory Services

  • By signing below, you certify that you have read and understand this Patient Informed Consent for Laboratory Services in its entirety, and herby consent to providing specimens of your urine, blood, or other bodily fluids to Ideal Option for laboratory testing, as appropriate, for the diagnosis and treatment of Substance Use Disorder (SUD) and other conditions as identified by your Ideal Option Provider.

    Urine Drug Testing (UDT)

    Ideal Option uses urine drug testing to evaluate, assess, and manage a patient’s condition. UDT can improve your provider’s ability to screen for and detect substance use, including prescription drug misuse, abuse, and diversion; diagnose and treat substance use disorders; manage chronic care for substance use disorders to support and sustain recovery; and direct therapy with prescription drugs.

    You are required to provide samples of your urine for drug testing, including random testing, to receive treatment at Ideal Option. 

    As a consequence, you have the option to refuse testing, however your prescribing provider can refuse to provide care and prescribe and/or initiate or continue medications. 

    If your test results are negative for a prescribed medication or positive for non-prescribed medications or illegal substances, it is considered an aberrant result and Ideal Option may adjust your treatment plan, including safe discontinuation of your medication, terminate your treatment, or refer you to another treatment provider. Any refusal or inability to provide a urine sample will be treated as an aberrant result. Inability to provide a urine will be reviewed by your prescribing provider who will consider the basis of your inability and act accordingly. 

    Other Laboratory Testing

    Early detection and treatment are generally associated with better outcomes. Many conditions can be detected and treated by your prescribing provider and the tests we recommend are useful to help improve your health and to ensure that you are free of conditions commonly observed among individuals with a history of substance use disorder.  It is well documented that individuals with substance use disorders are at an increased risk for certain medical conditions, including hepatitis, human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), sexually transmitted infections (STI), hormone imbalances, liver disease, and kidney disease because of illicit substances, prescribed medications that have been taken in ways other than directed. 

    Medications ordered by your personal provider or your prescribing provider at Ideal Option may have an effect on a fetus or unborn child. It is important to know what measures you are taking to prevent pregnancy and if you are pregnant.  To better manage these risks, have knowledge of your health status, and appropriately guide your care, your Ideal Option provider may order certain laboratory tests. These tests may include, but are not limited to, the following:  Tests for infectious diseases, such as hepatitis A, hepatitis B, hepatitis C, sexually transmitted infections, and HIV; Complete blood counts; Electrolyte panels; Liver function tests; Kidney function tests; Hormone levels, and Pregnancy tests.

    You may opt out (i.e., refuse to give your consent) of any of the “other laboratory testing” described in this section. If your provider determines that the results of “other laboratory testing” is essential to manage your care and you have opted out of testing, you may be required to provide answers to questions or results of tests that would have been ordered.  If your provider cannot safely prescribe to you without results, you may have safe discontinuation of your medications, termination of your treatment, or refer you to another treatment provider.  If you want to opt out of certain laboratory tests, please list them here please tell the front desk. You may revoke this consent at any time by notifying Ideal Option in writing.

  • Consent to Participate in a Health Information Exchange and Release of Information

  • Introduction:

    Ideal Option is evaluating the effectiveness of medication-assisted treatment and emergency room utilization by patients receiving medication-assisted treatment. Ideal Option participates in an electronic health information exchange with other health care providers to track patient visits to an emergency room in order to better serve the needs of its patients. The exchange is known as “EDIE” (Emergency Department Information Exchange). EDIE records a patient’s health information when a patient visits an emergency room. This information is maintained in an electronic health information exchange database which complies with the privacy regulations of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA).

    The purpose of this Consent is to obtain your permission for Ideal Option to receive information from EDIE about your visits to an emergency room. Ideal Option will need to submit demographic information (“Information”) about you to EDIE to determine if you have been to the emergency room. This Information includes: Name; Date of Birth; Social Security Number; Address; and Phone number.

    By submitting this Information to the EDIE, Ideal Option DOES NOT inform any other health care providers that you are a patient or have been seen by Ideal Option.

    Also, Ideal Option will also use the data from EDIE to evaluate how often our patients are being seen in an emergency room once in treatment with Ideal Option. Ideal Option will also evaluate trends and track the impact of medication-assisted treatment on frequency of emergency department visits. Ideal Option may publish these trends while maintaining the privacy of its patients’ data.

    Why is Ideal Option collecting this data?

    The data that is gathered from EDIE system will be used to better inform your care. Ideal Option will also use the data to evaluate how often our patients are being seen in an emergency room once in treatment with Ideal Option, and to evaluate trends and track the impact medication-assisted treatment has with regard to frequency of emergency department visits. It is our hope that such information will enable Ideal Option to better serve the needs of our patients.

    What will happen if I give my consent?

    Ideal Option will submit your information to EDIE and Ideal Option may share certain limited data with others in order to further advance the field of medication-assisted treatment. Ideal Option may publish de-identified data consistent with the Federal regulations governing Confidentiality and Substance Use Disorder Patient Records, 42 C.F.R. Part 2, and the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (“HIPAA”), 45 C.F.R. pts 160 & 164.
