Gulf Bend Center's Medication Safety Initiative
Gulf Bend Center's Medication Safety Initiative
Gulf Bend Center's physicians and nurse practitioners will no longer be prescribing certain medications after April 3, 2023. These medications, known as benzodiazepines, include xanax, valium, and klonopin, as well as others.
This change is part of a consumer safety initiative. Although these medications can be effective for short term use, the medical staff and quality management team agree that these medications are creating too high of a risk for our consumers over the long term.
Your physician or nurse practitioner will work with you on a plan to taper the medication safely over the next several weeks. The staff is also available to discuss with you other effective ways to manage anxiety, including a referral for counseling.
Thank you.
