We have just released the latest version of our Medication Guide for a Safe Recovery. This guide is used in hundreds of treatment centers and addiction medicine offices across the United States. The Medication Guide is designed to prevent recovering individuals from being exposed to medications that might unwittingly trigger a relapse. To do this, it divides medications into three categories, A (Generally Safe), B (Grey Zone) and C (Unsafe) for recovery. Patients, staff and families use this guide to ensure that medications they are prescribed will not reactivate relapse and derail their hard won recovery.
In addition, this guide also contains a list of over the counter medications that do not contain alcohol. Take the guide to the drug store when selecting medications for symptom relief from cold, the flu and other conditions. Please use this guide to supplement and not replace the advice of your addiction physician and other professionals.
