   Saralyn, Thank you for your response. I'm just curious about patient advocacy though. As a Nurse, aren't you ethically and legally bound to give patients informed consent on any treatment? If you worked at a Dr. office and you saw a patient return...

4. Heroin addiction

   jerseyboy replied to simon greasley's topic in Psychiatric

   Saralyn, Im curious, does the place you work give informed consent about Rational Recovery, SMART Recovery, SOS, or WFS? Or, do you require 12-step meeting attendance? I'm certain many of your patients have been through treatment more than once a...

5. Heroin addiction

   jerseyboy replied to simon greasley's topic in Psychiatric

   Hi Simon, I'm not a Nurse so I don't know if Nurses can prescribe or not. I would just like you to know that Europe is light years ahead of the U.S. in addiction treatment. Although addiction is called a disease in the US, somewhere in the neighbor...

11. Advice please, re Narcotic Diversion/Rx Forgery

    jerseyboy replied to Lady InPain's topic in General Nursing

    Dutchgirl said you wouldn't have to go off of your legitimate meds in rehab. Think again. The reason being is... rehabs don't know the difference between someone who has developed a tolerance to pain medication for chronic pain and an addict. Ever...

    Dalzac, I don't believe the OP stated that she had a problem with alcohol. Quite an assumption that she would need Alcoholics Anonymous.
