Can I take methadone or Adderall in the program if it is prescribed to me by my doctor?
Every medication (prescription and over-the-counter) must be reported to the Felony Drug Court Office at the time of the clinical assessment/prior to entering the Felony Drug Court Program. Not every medication prescribed, even if prescribed legally to you by your doctor, may be taken while in the Felony Drug Court Program. These medications are reviewed on a case-by-case basis and you will be expected to sign a release to your prescribing doctor for open discussion of your substance use history. The Felony Drug Court Program is an abstinence-based program which means that medications with the potential to become addictive cannot be taken while in the program. Please review the Participant List of Prohibited Drugs in the Felony Drug Court Participant Handbook for more information or contact the Felony Drug Court Program directly.
