Guest Dose at CompDrug
CompDrug offers guest dosing to individuals enrolled in another opioid treatment program who are traveling away from their home clinic. If you are traveling to the Columbus area and need to guest dose while in town, your home treatment facility needs to fill out the proper paperwork HERE.
Guest dosing guidelines are established by Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) so while it can be an easy process, it is still a process. The list below covers the guidelines that we must follow. This form must be received no later than two (2) business days (between the hours of 6am to 2pm) prior to your patient’s arrival.
Guest Dose Requirements:
✔ Per CompDrug’s Medical Director, patients can only guest dose for a maximum of 14 days
✔ CompDrug will not guest dose above 200 mgs of Methadone a day
✔ A signed Release of Information must accompany the Guest Dose Request
Please mail or fax the following information
✔ Signed Release of Information
✔ Documentation of Addiction
✔ Medication Order
✔ History & Physical Exam (if within 90 days)
✔ TB Test Results or Chest X-Ray (if within 90 days)
✔ All Available Lab Results (if within 90 days)
✔ Toxicology Results from last 90 days
✔ Completed Guest Dosing Form
The decision regarding acceptance of this patient to our clinic will be made after the patient has met admission criteria and our physician has agreed to move ahead with the transfer.
In the meantime, your patient will be medicated as a guest doser, under your physician’s order, until we verify pre-admission toxicology results, are able to schedule an intake and our physician reviews the data and accepts or declines admission of your patient.
Method of payment should be addressed prior to arrival.
