Having multiple opioid prescriptions from different prescribers (doctor shopping) also increases the likelihood of overdose.

Patient-Centered Zero Tolerance Policy for Inpatient Opioid Misuse Because we care about your wellbeing and are committed to providing excellent care, we enforce a zero tolerance policy for misuse of prescribed and non-prescribed opioids misuse within our institution.

It is important that you work with your treating provider to share information regarding your use of opioids and/or other drugs, including alcohol and street drugs. Your previous history of drug use and family history are very important to developing your treatment plan. A witnessed urine or blood drug screening may also be requested at any time to further help us in our treatment plan for you. We may also ask that you permit us to search you and your belongings. We may also ask your visitors to be searched as well as their belongings, when the need for this arises. We ask that you comply with us throughout this process.

For your safety and that of other patients and our staff, we will remove all prohibited substances if discovered.
