Most medication carries on. Anything that interacts with treatment gets looked at by a prescriber first. Stopping a psychiatric medication abruptly can cause real harm, which is why this is never a decision to make alone. Write the list with doses and prescriber names before the first call.

It is treatment that includes a prescription, most often buprenorphine, naltrexone or methadone. Methadone is dispensed under rules of its own, often daily at first, which is a practical difference rather than a medical one. Ask whether counseling is included or billed separately, because the combination is the point.
