Controlled Substance Policy

At Epiphany Integrated Health, we take a cautious and responsible approach to prescribing controlled substances. While benzodiazepines may be prescribed on a limited, short-term basis, they are rarely used and are not intended for long-term treatment. We are committed to working collaboratively with patients to taper these medications and transition to safer, non-narcotic alternatives over time. Our clinic has a strict no-benzodiazepine policy for individuals also prescribed opioids or other CNS depressants. Additionally, we follow standard care guidelines, which limit the use of short-acting stimulants. Aggressive behavior, non-compliance with appointments, or harassment of staff will result in a safe tapering of medications and immediate discharge from the practice.
