Non-Controlled Psychiatric Medications & Addiction Treatment

At BL3ND Tele Psych, we provide personalized, evidence-based psychiatric care with a focus on non-controlled treatment options.

None of our providers prescribe controlled substances, including stimulants, benzodiazepines, or controlled sedative-hypnotic medications.

Important Appointment Acknowledgment

By requesting or scheduling an appointment with BL3ND Tele Psych, you acknowledge and consent to our non-controlled-substance prescribing policy.

BL3ND providers do not prescribe, continue, refill, or assume management of controlled substances.

This includes, but is not limited to:

  • Stimulants

  • Benzodiazepines

  • Controlled sleep medications

  • Other controlled psychiatric medications

Patients currently taking a controlled medication may still receive care when clinically appropriate. BL3ND can provide non-controlled treatment options, psychiatric support, and coordination with the clinician currently prescribing the controlled medication.

If appropriate non-controlled treatment options have been exhausted and your treatment needs fall outside BL3ND’s prescribing model, we will assist with referral and continuity of care, including providing medical records with your authorization.

Submitting an appointment request confirms that you have read, understood, and agreed to this policy.
