WORKIT HEALTH CLINIC INFORMED CONSENT FOR TELEHEALTH, TREATMENT, AND PRESCRIPTION OF CONTROLLED SUBSTANCES (the “Consent”)

PLEASE CAREFULLY REVIEW THIS CONSENT. IT PROVIDES INFORMATION REGARDING POSSIBLE BENEFITS AND RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH RECEIVING TELEHEALTH, TREATMENT, AND PRESCRIPTIONS THROUGH A WORKIT HEALTH CLINIC.

Overview

You are receiving this Consent because your Workit Health Clinic is recommending that you engage in certain treatment (as more fully set forth in this Consent) that may involve induction, drug testing, telehealth, and the prescribing of certain controlled substances and other medications. A “Workit Health Clinic” includes Workit Health (MI) PLLC; Workit Health (CA), P.C.; Workit Health (NJ), LLC; Workit Health (OH), LLC; A.M. Physician Practice (NY), PLLC; and any other Workit Health professional entity that is established in the future.

The treatment and medication outlined in this Consent has known possible risks that you need to understand before making a decision to engage in the treatment or to use any medications. Each Workit Health Clinic and its providers want you to completely understand your treatment and medications and any risks or benefits associated with engaging in, not engaging in, or abruptly stopping, the treatment or authorized use of any prescribed medications.

While we strive to provide you with comprehensive information regarding treatment and medication options, you understand that not every option and its possible risks and benefits can be listed on this Consent, and that this Consent only describes the most common risks, side effects or reactions.

By signing this Consent, you acknowledge that a Workit Health Clinic provider or clinician (or designee) has explained to you all of the following or that you have read, understood, and had the opportunity to ask questions regarding all of the following.

Information Regarding Telehealth

The treatment provided to you by your Workit Health Clinic provider will be delivered primarily or solely through telehealth. Telehealth involves the delivery of health care/medical services using electronic communications, information technology or other means between a health care provider and an individual who are not in the same physical location. Telehealth can occur asynchronously, through two-way interactive audio in combination with store-and-forward communications, and/or through two-way interactive audio and video interaction.

The electronic systems used in telehealth will incorporate network and software security protocols to protect the privacy and security of your information, including, but not limited to, encryption, password protection, two-factor authentication, and other reliable authentication techniques, and will include measures to safeguard data to ensure its integrity against intentional or unintentional corruption. Telehealth may be used to document your medical history, schedule appointments, perform an exam, or for diagnosis, treatment, follow-up and/or patient education, and may include one or more of the following:

  • Electronic transmission of medical records, photo images, personal medical information or other data between you and your Workit Health Clinic provider;
  • Interactions between you and your Workit Health Clinic provider via audio, video and/or data communications (such as chat); and
  • Use of output data from medical devices, sound and video files.

Possible Benefits of Telehealth

The use of telehealth by the Workit Health Clinic provider may have the following benefits:

  • Making it easier and more efficient for you to access medical care and treatment for the conditions treated by your Workit Health Clinic provider;
  • Allowing you to obtain health care/medical care and treatment from your Workit Health Clinic provider at times that are convenient for you; and
  • Enabling you to interact with your Workit Health Clinic provider without the necessity of an in-office appointment.

Possible Risks of Telehealth

While the use of telehealth can provide potential benefits for you, there are also potential risks associated with the use of telehealth. These risks include, but may not be limited to, the following:

  • The information transmitted to your Workit Health Clinic provider may be insufficient (e.g., poor resolution of images) to allow for appropriate medical decision-making by the Workit Health Clinic provider;
  • The inability of your Workit Health Clinic provider to conduct certain tests or assess vital signs in-person may in some cases prevent your Workit Health Clinic provider from providing a diagnosis or treatment or from identifying the need for emergency medical care or treatment for you;
  • Your Workit Health Clinic provider may not be able to provide medical treatment for your particular condition and you may be required to seek alternative health care or emergency care services;
  • Delays in medical evaluation or treatment could occur due to unavailability of your Workit Health Clinic provider or deficiencies or failures of the technology or electronic equipment used;
  • The electronic systems or other security protocols or safeguards used to provide telehealth services could fail, causing a breach of privacy of your medical or other information;
  • Given regulatory requirements in certain jurisdictions, your Workit Health Clinic provider diagnosis and/or treatment options, especially pertaining to certain prescriptions, may be limited; and
  • A lack of access to all of your medical records may result in adverse drug interactions or allergic reactions or other judgment errors.

Information Related to Treatment (Generally)

In addition to risks related to the use of telehealth, there are also general risks related to your receipt of treatment through the Workit Health Clinic, regardless of the type of treatment you receive. These risks include, but may not be limited to, the following:

  • While the Workit Health Clinic intends to provide you with the tools to help you understand your condition more fully and to employ evidence-based treatment methods, this process may be challenging for you as we explore emotions, stress, and life change and there are no guarantees that these methods will be beneficial for you or provide temporary or permanent recovery from stimulant, opioid, or alcohol use disorder or anxiety or depression;
  • Sometimes treatment identifies an underlying medical or psychological issue which may need to be addressed in a manner that the Workit Health Clinic cannot currently provide;
  • The medicines that the Workit Health Clinic provider may prescribe or recommend, including over-the-counter medicines and “behind-the-counter” medicines, including controlled substances, that can cause serious side effects and adverse events that include severe allergic reaction, permanent disability, and death; and
  • Adverse events related to medications can be caused by a number of factors including an allergic reaction, side effects, or interactions between a medicine that the Workit Health Clinic provider prescribes and any medical conditions you may have, other prescription medicines or other substances (e.g., supplements, herbs, over-the-counter medicines, or recreational drugs) you are taking, and your lifestyle choices such as smoking tobacco products or drinking alcohol.

Information Related to Treatment for Opioid Use Disorder, Alcohol Use Disorder, and Stimulant Use Disorder

Overview of Phases of Treatment (Induction, Stabilization, Maintenance, Tapering)

Induction (usual duration of approximately 1 week) is the first phase of treatment and involves helping patients begin the process of switching from a drug of abuse or, for example, long-acting opioids to Suboxone or another medication. Stabilization (usual duration of approximately 1 to 2 months) is the second phase of treatment and begins when the patient is experiencing no withdrawal symptoms, is experiencing minimal or no side effects, and is no longer having uncontrollable cravings for a drug of abuse. Maintenance is the third phase of treatment and may be for an indefinite duration. Under ideal circumstances, discontinuation of medication may be appropriate when a patient has achieved the maximum benefit from treatment and no longer requires continued treatment to maintain a drug-free lifestyle. Once this goal is achieved, the patient may be tapered slowly and appropriately off of the medication.

Drug and Laboratory Testing

Your Workit Health Clinic provider may ask you to undergo medical tests and examinations before and during your treatment. These tests may include random, unannounced requests for lab work (blood or urine drug screens), and other laboratory screens (such as a comprehensive metabolic panel (CMP) and HIV, Hepatitis B, or Hepatitis C screenings) during your treatment to check your general health and for drugs, and psychological evaluations if your Workit Health Clinic provider deems these necessary. These lab tests will benefit you by giving you a better idea about your health (for example, a CMP can tell you how your liver and kidneys are working) and how your medications are working during your treatment. If you refuse to have these tests done, it may not be possible to assess whether you are a good candidate for treatment, if you will have complications resulting from treatment (for example, failing to undergo appropriate lab testing could result in drug overdose, renal or liver failure, infection, or even death), or if the medication is causing any side effects or harming you and it may then no longer be safe to continue prescribing the medication.

Lab work and drug tests will often be completed through a third party such as Quest Diagnostics or LabCorp. These third parties are not affiliated with your Workit Health Clinic and your Workit Health Clinic is not responsible for any billing or fees related to the use of such third party service and is not responsible for the services you receive from these third parties. Any charges associated with using a third party service should be discussed with the third party directly or your insurance company. Your Workit Health Clinic shall hold no liability or responsibility related to any care or services received from a third party or fees or expenses incurred as a result of a third party service.

At-Home Induction

Your treatment may include at-home induction through telehealth. Risks associated with at-home induction include, but are not limited to, withdrawal, relapse, overdose, mental health issues, and medical complications. At-home induction is not comfortable or easy and you may experience withdrawal systems that vary in type and intensity. Outpatient programs carry a higher risk of relapse due to easier access to opioids and other substances and even after attempting to perform at-home induction for a brief period, your body may not be able to tolerate the same level of prescribed medications and/or other substances or combination with other medications. If you have underlying mental health issues, these issues can worsen significantly during at-home induction. Similarly, underlying medical conditions may worsen or become apparent during at-home induction. You will not experience the continuous monitoring and early intervention that you may receive at a medical detox treatment facility. We encourage you to have someone at home with you during the at-home induction. If you choose to not do so, you acknowledge that this increases some of the risks set forth above.

Controlled Substances

Your treatment may include receiving controlled substances. Controlled substances are defined by federal law and include classes of drugs such as opiates, benzodiazepines, and stimulants that may be prescribed to benefit or alleviate conditions such as pain, anxiety, depression, insomnia, muscle spasticity, convulsive disorders, and/or detoxification from opioids, alcohol, stimulants, or other substances. However, controlled substances have known risks and side effects, and can be harmful if taken without medical supervision and may lead to tolerance, physical dependence, withdrawal and/or addiction.

Possible side effects related to the use of controlled substances include nausea, vomiting, constipation, blurred vision, impaired coordination, sleepiness, and confusion, memory loss, breathing problems, fatigue, dizziness, muscle weakness, impaired ability to drive or operate machinery, personality changes, allergic reactions, overdose and fatal complications, addiction, and serious effects if used in conjunction with alcohol or other medications.

In addition, tolerance, physical dependence, withdrawal, and addiction are all possible with the use of controlled substances. Tolerance is defined as a need for a higher dose to maintain the same effect. Physical dependence is also possible, meaning that if your medication is decreased or stopped, you could experience withdrawal syndrome (including but not limited to sweating, increased heart rate and high blood pressure, insomnia, abdominal cramps, tremors, diarrhea, muscle or bone aching, and seizures). In rare cases, withdrawal symptoms may be life threatening and may require hospitalization. Addiction is recognized as when an individual abuses a drug to obtain mental numbness or euphoria, shows drug craving behavior, visits multiple doctors and pharmacies in pursuit of a medication, or demonstrates manipulative attitude towards the provider in order to obtain the drug. The medication will be tapered and discontinued if addictive behavior is observed by a Workit Health Clinic provider.

Suboxone (Buprenorphine/Naloxone)

One medication you may receive is Suboxone. Suboxone is the brand name for a specific medication combination of buprenorphine and naloxone. Suboxone is a controlled substance, schedule III (specifically, an opioid partial agonist) approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for treatment of people with opioid dependence. It can be used beneficially to help:

  • Diminish the effects of physical dependence on opioids, such as withdrawal symptoms and cravings;
  • Increase safety in cases of overdose; and
  • Lower the potential for misuse.

Suboxone is also a very mild opiate drug that can result in physical dependence. While withdrawal is generally less intense than with heroin or methadone, if Suboxone is suddenly discontinued, you could have symptoms such as muscle aches, stomach cramps, or diarrhea. It is also possible, but rare, that you could suffer an allergic reaction (hives, rashes, and itchiness) and even more rare that you could suffer anaphylactic shock, breathing trouble, low blood pressure, or loss of consciousness. If you see these signs, you should contact a doctor immediately.

If you are dependent on opiates, you should be in as much withdrawal as possible when you take the first dose of Suboxone. If you are not in withdrawal, Suboxone may cause significant opioid withdrawal. You may find that it takes several days to find the minimum dose of Suboxone that diminishes your use of the opioid you were using, experience no withdrawal symptoms, have no uncontrollable cravings for the opioid you were using, or to get used to the transition of using Suboxone. During that time, any use of other opioids may cause an increase in symptoms. After you become stabilized on Suboxone, it is expected that other opioids will have less effect.

Taking Suboxone in combination with central nervous system depressants, alcohol, or benzodiazepines, such as Valium, Xanax, Librium, Ativan, and Klonopin, may cause death by overdose. You should not take any other medication without first discussing it with your Workit Health Clinic provider. In addition, taking Suboxone with other illegal substances may increase your risk of breathing difficulties, heart problems, and sudden death. Attempts to override Suboxone by taking more opioids could result in an opioid overdose.

In addition, certain medications used to treat HIV and Hepatitis C have shown adverse effects when used in combination with Suboxone. If you are or begin treatment for these conditions, you should immediately notify your Workit Health Clinic provider.

Pregnancy and Suboxone

Pregnant women treated with Suboxone have better outcomes than pregnant women not in treatment who continue to use opioid drugs. However, there may be side effects for you and unknown side effects that could harm an unborn child including preeclampsia, miscarriage, premature delivery, opioid withdrawal symptoms (i.e., neonatal abstinence syndrome), intrauterine growth restriction, and fetal death. In addition, the delivery hospital may require babies who are exposed to opioids before birth to spend a number of days in the hospital for monitoring of withdrawal symptoms while some babies may also need medication to stop withdrawal. If you are or become pregnant, or are uncertain, you should immediately notify your Workit Health Clinic provider.

Naltrexone

Another medication you may be prescribed is naltrexone, which is a FDA approved medication to treat both opioid use disorder and alcohol use disorder. It is not an opioid, is not addictive, and does not cause withdrawal symptoms when ceasing use. However, common side effects include nausea, sleepiness, headache, dizziness, vomiting, decreased appetite, painful joints, muscle cramps, cold symptoms, trouble sleeping and toothache. More severe side effects may include liver damage or hepatitis, serious allergic reactions, pneumonia, and depressed mood. If prescribed naltrexone to treat opioid use disorder, there is a risk of opioid overdose if you try to overcome the blocking effects of the medication by taking large amounts of opioids.

Off-Label Medication

Your treatment, specifically, for stimulant use disorder, may include the prescription of off-label medications which have not been approved by the FDA to treat stimulant use disorder. “Off-label” medications are drugs that have been approved by the FDA to treat other diseases and conditions, but not stimulant use disorder; however, the FDA does not restrict providers from exercising professional judgment in prescribing off-label medications if beneficial to you. Although studies have shown that these medications can be beneficial by reducing cravings for stimulants, there are currently no FDA approved medications for the treatment of stimulant use disorder. You may be prescribed medication(s) off-label, including those listed below, as part of your treatment for stimulant use disorder if your Workit Health Clinic provider believes it will benefit your treatment.

While not exhaustive, a list of common and notable side effects for off-label drugs that may be prescribed to you include dry mouth, constipation, nausea, headache, decreased appetite or loss of appetite, insomnia, vomiting, decreased appetite, dizziness, dysphoria, abnormal dreams, hypotension, sedation, weakness, fatigue, ataxia, blurred vision, impaired cognition, diarrhea, sexual dysfunction, and somnolence.

Information Related to Treatment for Anxiety and Depression

Overview of Possible Benefits and Risks

Certain medications including selective serotonin inhibitors (SSRIs), norepinephrine serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SNRI), and atypical antidepressants are FDA approved to treat depression and/or anxiety and may relieve the symptoms of depression and/or anxiety.

However, these medications carry general risks and side effects including causing sexual dysfunction (problems with orgasm, ejaculation, and/or erectile dysfunction), and also potentially life-threatening side effects, the risk of suicidal thoughts and behavior, and a severe allergic reaction that can lead to disability and even death. Other potential risks with taking these medications include:

  • Antidepressant Discontinuation Syndrome (ADS) may occur if you abruptly discontinue antidepressant medications and may include flu-like symptoms, insomnia, nausea, imbalance, sensory disturbances, and hyperarousal;
  • Serotonin Syndrome, while rare, but potentially life-threatening, may occur by using serotonergic drugs and overactivation of the serotonin receptors; common side effects are headache and dizziness;
  • Treatment Resistant Depression may occur if treatment fails to produce a response or remission for an individual after two or more treatment attempts of adequate dose and duration;
  • All antidepressant medications carry a black box warning about suicidal thoughts and behaviors in children, adolescents, and young adults up to age 24.

Abruptly stopping any of these treatments may cause symptoms including but not limited to anxiety, irritability, agitation, dizziness, nausea and sensory disturbances such as the feeling of having an electric shock. There are alternatives to the prescription-only medicines available from Workit Health Clinic providers like cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and stress management techniques for treatment of depression or anxiety.

Benzodiazepines

In certain cases, your Workit Health Clinic provider may prescribe benzodiazepines, which are class IV controlled substances that may help to treat your anxiety and/or depression. Because it is a controlled substance, its use may result in side effects and tolerance, physical dependence, withdrawal, and addiction. For more information regarding these side effects and risks, please review the above section entitled “Controlled Substances”.

Pregnancy and Benzodiazepines

Taking benzodiazepines during pregnancy carries the risk of miscarriage can cause birth defects, and may also lead to the development of dependence and withdrawal symptoms in the fetus.

Immediate Help

If you are a threat to yourself or to other people, you should not use the Workit Health Clinic and should instead call 911 or call the National Suicide Prevention Hotline at 988.
