Alcohol use disorder 开始一次 $59 的在线审核。

Medication can be a helpful part of cutting back on alcohol or staying stopped. This lane is for adults 18 and older who are medically stable and not in withdrawal. After screening, a physician may discuss non-controlled options such as naltrexone, acamprosate, or disulfiram. Some of these medicines rely on recent liver or kidney blood tests that you provide, because the physician cannot order labs through this visit. This lane never prescribes controlled medicines, so it does not offer buprenorphine, Suboxone, methadone, or benzodiazepines.

如果治疗合适,医生可以将非管制药物处方发送到您的药房,并通过门户网站向您提供说明。

Which medicines might be discussed?

A physician may discuss non-controlled options such as naltrexone, acamprosate, or disulfiram, and help you weigh which one fits your goal and health history. These are not controlled medicines.

Does this visit prescribe Suboxone or a benzodiazepine?

No. This lane never prescribes controlled medicines, so it does not offer buprenorphine, Suboxone, methadone, or benzodiazepines. A request for one of those is directed to in-person care.

Do I need lab work first?

Sometimes. A few of these medicines rely on recent liver or kidney blood tests, and the physician cannot order labs through this visit, so you would provide recent results. The intake explains when results are needed.

What if I am in withdrawal or feel unsafe?

If you have shaking, sweating, a racing heart, confusion, or hallucinations, this can be alcohol withdrawal, which needs emergency care, so please call 911. If you are having thoughts of self-harm, the 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline is available any time.
