SARATOGA SPINE
PAIN MEDICATION AND CONTROLLED SUBSTANCE POLICY
Pain medication will be prescribed when necessary, in the immediate post-operative
period only. Narcotics are usually prescribed for no longer than 6-8 weeks for a non-
deformity surgery such as Laminectomy, Discectomy or Cervical Fusion. Narcotics will
usually be prescribed for no longer than 12 weeks for a lumbar spinal fusion.
Most research has shown worse outcomes for patients who are on chronic narcotics.
However, some pain specialists still routinely prescribe these medicines for prolonged
periods of time. This requires specialized expertise and close follow up by a pain
management specialist.
All Prescription refill requests must be made by the patient only and will be processed
during normal business hours. We require at least 48 hours notice. Please plan ahead.
Controlled substance medications may not be renewed if stolen or lost until the
prescription has expired.
All prescriptions will be electronically transmitted to your pharmacy. When requesting a
medication refill, please state the pharmacy you would like the prescription electronically
sent to along with your name, date of birth, medication name requested. Your request will
be reviewed by our providers and you will get a return phone call notifying you of the
status of your request.
I agree to the following and understand that I may be discharged from Saratoga Spine if I
break any of these conditions:
I will not attempt to get pain medication from any person or healthcare provider not
authorized my Saratoga Spine provider.
I will not use medication in a way that is not prescribed.
I will not exhibit deceitful behavior nor provide false
information
I will not make calls after hours to obtain medication.
I will not sell or give my medications to any other person.
I will sign and follow the "Patient Understanding for Opioid Treatment
Form"
I will sign and follow the "Patient Informed Consent for Opioid
Treatment form"
I am aware that I may be subjected to random testing including but not limited to: urine
screening and random pill counts.
Acknowledge that I have read the all the pages and agree to comply
with Saratoga Spine's Pain Medication and Controlled Substance Policy. I understand that
failure to follow these policies may result in my being discharged from Saratoga Spine and I
