WELCOMEWelcome to the Towaliga Judicial Circuit Accountability Court Program. This Handbook is designed to answer your questions and provide overall information about the Accountability Court Program. As a participant, you will be expected to follow the instructions given in Court by the Judge and comply with the treatment plan developed for you by the treatment team. This Handbook will detail what is expected of you as a program participant and review general program information. If you are reading this Handbook it means that you have been accepted into the program based on your history of drug/alcohol use, a preliminary assessment of your treatment needs, and other interactions with law enforcement/court officials. Your acceptance into the program also means we are confident that this program will help you learn how to make successful choices and remain free of the influence of drugs and alcohol.
OVERVIEW
2
The Accountability Court Program is a four-phase intervention program for adults who have pled guilty to one or more non-violent felony drug-related offenses and who are having difficulty staying clean and sober. It is a collaborative effort between the Superior Court, District Attorney's Office, Probation Office, Public Defender, Local Law Enforcement Agencies and Substance Abuse Treatment Providers. By working together, they seek to provide a variety of programs and consistent supervision geared toward supporting and helping you maintain a drug-free life. The Drug Intervention Program involves frequent court appearances, random drug testing as well as group and individual counseling. The Court awards incentives for compliant behavior and imposes sanctions for negative behavior. Participants who do not comply with the rules may be placed in short-term custody, moved back to the previous phase in the program or a variety of other sanctions. They may also be terminated from the program. All staff working within the program will assist you to be sure you understand what is expected of you.
THE TREATMENT TEAMThe Judge will make all decisions regarding your participation in the Accountability Court Program with input from the Treatment Team. In addition to the Judge, the Treatment Team consists of the following members: Program Director/CoordinatorCase Manager Treatment Provider/CounselorProbationLaw EnforcementPublic Defender District AttorneyPrior to each court appearance, the Drug Court Team members familiarize themselves with your progress so that they may discuss that progress with you during Court.
PROGRESS REPORTSBefore each Court appearance, the judge will be given a progress report presented by the Case Manager. This information is compiled by details gained from the treatment team and the participant. Therefore, it is very important for you (the participant) to meet with the case manager
weekly to make sure that accurate information is being obtained. The progress report will discuss your drug testing results, attendance, participation and cooperation in the treatment program, employment or other requirements. The judge may ask questions about your progress and discuss any problems you may be having. If your progress reports show that you are not doing well, the judge will discuss this with you and determine future action, which could include a sanction intended to help you remember your goals in the program.
DRUG COURT HEARINGS A.K.A. REPORT BACKAs a program participant, you will be required to appear in Court on a regular basis. Failure to appear may result in a court order for a sanction, or possibly result in a warrant being issued for your arrest and detention in jail until you can appear before the court. If you have questions about your court appearances you may contact the program director, or Case Manager. Unless otherwise specified, report back sessions are held on the 2nd and 4th Friday of every month at the Lamar County Court house at 326 Thomaston St. Barnesville, GA. You must be in the court room by 9:30AM. If your color is called on report back Friday, you will report to the TAC office between 8:00 and 9:00 AM for drug screen. These times are subject to change. You will exhibit behavior and dress deemed appropriate for court environment. If you have any questions regarding what this entails, please request a meeting with your case manager, counselor, or director to discuss. You will also be required to present your meeting sheet to the Judge when called up for review during each Report Back session.
PHASES AND PHASE REQUIREMENTSThe Accountability Court Program is a minimum 24-month program divided into four phases. You must successfully complete each phase before progressing to the next phase. It is your responsibility to keep up with your time in each phase. When you determine your phase-up date is drawing near, you will need to get a Phase-up request form from your case manager. Once this is complete, you will schedule and appointment with the Case Manager to determine the meeting of all requirements for moving up then follow up with an appointment with Treatment provider. All fees must be current in order to Phase-up. If you have missed any days in your class or have assigned work that has not been completed, this will need to be completely made up before phasing up. All requirements must be met and you must have a minimum of 8 weeks of negative drug screens in order to phase up. You will then request an appointment with the Counselor to update your treatment plan and goals. You will be in orientation for 1 week (2 sessions) before entering Phase 1. During this Orientation period, you are responsible for completing all paperwork and assignments issued to you. You are responsible for familiarizing yourself with the program and program handbook as well as calling

This is your time for self-reflection. You must write at least one page every day. If there is no topic written on the white board in the classroom, there are jars in each class with topics you can choose from. You always have the option of writing anything you wish to write about. You must schedule an appointment to set up case management during orientation.

AA/NA MEETINGS
While in orientation you will be required to begin attending 2 NA or AA meetings per week, one of which may be substituted for a church service. You are also required to participate actively in the meetings. This means sharing your experience, strength, and hope with others. You are required to have a sponsor. These are people with years of sobriety and clean experience who are there to help YOU. We encourage you to attend different meetings at different locations or times during your first phase. Each group has their own personality and perspective. One group may be composed primarily of younger adults, whereas others may feature members more advanced in age. Some groups have members with a lot of sober/clean time; others are geared more towards new members. Some meetings allow smoking, while others don’t. Shop around - meet people - and find a group you are comfortable with.Once you find a group, then ask someone to serve as your Sponsor. Your Sponsor will serve as a mentor and assist you in working the steps. These are people with years of sobriety and clean experience who are there to help YOU. Pick someone you feel comfortable with and who is the same gender as you. Sponsors must have at least 2 years clean time and cannot be a family member.To get credit for your meetings, the meeting facilitator will need to sign your meeting sheet. You will fill your meeting sheet out completely in order to receive credit for attending. You must arrive at the meeting on time and stay for the entire meeting. When you come in for class, write down your meeting dates in the space provided on your sign in sheets. Your counselor / facilitator will approve and initial. You will not receive credit for any meetings if 1. You do not record your meeting dates on your sign in sheet 2. You have not completed each section of the meeting form 3. You do not turn your meeting sheet in to your counselor / facilitator. *BRING YOUR MEETING SHEETS TO ALL CLASSES & TO COURT FOR REPORT BACK.
CONFIDENTIALITY
State licensing requires that your identity and privacy be protected. In response to these regulations, the Drug Court Team has developed policies and procedures that guard your privacy. You will be asked to sign an Authorization for Release of Information. This disclosure of information is for the sole purpose of your treatment and of hearings and reports concerning your specific court case.
ATTENDANCE
Consistent attendance to all scheduled treatment, case management, court appearances, and drug screenings are the foundation of our program. All participants are expected to be at sessions and appointments on time, regardless of circumstances. Treatment cannot be effective for participants if they aren’t there to participate. From time to time a situation may arise that would prevent you from attending a session or appointment. If such a situation occurs, contact a Drug Court Team member immediately. A list of important contacts and phone numbers are provided on the last page of your handbook.Decisions regarding the appropriateness of an absence is a joint decision and may be made by administration staff, Treatment Team, Director or Judge. In considering the consequences of an absence, the Team will consider several factors:Documentation from the participantParticipant’s resourcesParticipant’s family and social supportHistory of absenteeism
Please note that arriving 15 minutes or more late for sessions and appointments is considered an absence. It is important for you to attend, even if you are late, since this may help you avoid sanctions.

CRISISFrom time to time, participants may experience difficulties, which may require emergency mental health or medical assistance. In cases like this, we encourage our program participants to use local community resources for assistance. For mental health issues or medical issues, especially withdrawal or seizure issues, proceed to the nearest Emergency Room as soon as possible. Please be sure to inform the E.R. doctors that you are a participant in the Drug Intervention Program.
MEDICATIONS
During your treatment, you may have the need to see a doctor for treatment of an illness or a dentist for dental work. It will be necessary for you to inform your doctor or dentist that you are in recovery for drug/alcohol addiction. Should it be necessary for a doctor to prescribe medication, knowledge of your potential sensitivity to drugs will be helpful in assisting your doctor to make an appropriate selection of a medication. Being in recovery doesn’t mean that you must suffer unnecessarily. It is permissible for Treatment Program participants to take prescribed
medications as long as the prescription has been approved by the Program Director or Treatment Team. The same concept applies to over-the-counter medications. For instance, products such as Nyquil contain alcohol and could potentially show positive on Drug/Alcohol tests. Painkillers for injuries or dental work could show up on a Morphine test. You must call the Treatment Director or staff member prior to
taking any medication if they are not listed on the “Class C-Safe to Take” guide! Medication approval forms are located above water
fountain. If you test positive for medications that have not been approved by the Treatment Team, it will be considered as an attempt to use
drugs and sanctions will be levied. Do not take medications that are prescribed for your family members. Do not exceed recommended dosage levels for over-the-counter (OTC) medications or prescription medications.
INCLEMENT WEATHERDuring winter months, some clients may experience difficulty attending a session due to ice and snow conditions or other weather conditions. The Drug Court Program generally follows open/close guidelines set forth by the Lamar County Government System. Participants should call the screening line for closer information, and listen to radio/TV to determine whether the courts will be closed that day. If the courts are closed, then participants are excused from attending scheduled sessions.
PROGRAM RULESAs a participant you will be required to abide by the rules outlined in the participant contract, including, but not limited to the following:1. Totally abstain from the use of alcohol, illegal drugs, and any illegally obtained / abused prescription drugs.2.

As a participant in the TAC Program, you are required to submit your person, vehicle and place of residence to search and seizure of narcotics, drugs or other contraband at any time of the day or night with or without a search warrant, without prior notice and without probable cause by any peace officer or probation officer. The Drug Court Staff may also search any and all social media accounts including your cell phone. Surveillance may also collect samples for drug testing and perform breathalyzer tests randomly throughout the week. You will be given 1 hour from the time the Surveillance Officer requests a drug test to produce a urine sample. Failure to produce a sample in the specified time will result in the test being considered missed and dirty.
DRUG TESTINGYou will be drug tested randomly throughout your entire participation in the TAC Program. ****YOU MUST CALL THE SCREENING LINE DAILY (770-358-5098). You must listen to the ENTIRE message and hang up (make sure you are hanging up the phone before you hear the “beep” to leave a message). You will be issued a color on your first day of orientation. If your color is called, you must report to the TAC office between the screening hours listed on the screen line. Test times on Report Back days are 8:00am-9:00am. These times are subject to change on weekends and holidays. Any changes in screening times will be so noted in the screen line message. Again, you are responsible for listening to the ENTIRE message. If you miss a screen due to a time change, you will be held responsible for a missed drug screen. You will be observed to ensure freedom from errors. If you miss a test, it will count as a positive (dirty) test. If you have a positive test in any drug court phase, the Judge, based on recommendations from the Director and/or the Drug Court Team, will apply immediate sanctions which may include time in jail.Participants will be given up to 20 minutes to produce a specimen for testing after signing in- if you can’t produce enough urine within this time then the test will be termed as a missed (dirty) test.

Participants may dispute positive test results. Such tests will be sent to a laboratory that is approved by the Towaliga Judicial Ciruit for a retest. The participant will be responsible for the cost of retesting and must submit a non-refundable blank $35.00 money order within the first 48 hours. The lab will transmit back to us written confirmation on each test detailing which drugs are present and an approximate quantity level. Random tests will be performed during the week and selected weekends and holidays. Every participant will be responsible for calling the Drug Court Screen/Information Line (770) 358-5098 after a designated time to see if you are required to report for testing. Random testing may also be done at any point or anytime of TAC choosing even if your color is not called on the screen line. Failure to appear or refusal of a drug test will automatically be considered as testing positive. Any efforts to dilute, modify, substitute, or alter
specimen in an effort to pass a drug screen will be considered an automatic positive and will be subject to automatic termination
from program.Once a participant has signed in for a drug test he or she will not be permitted to leave the building until a sample is produced.
Leaving the building without producing a sample will be considered as a positive. CurfewCurfews are as follows. Your curfew goes into effect the day you start orientation. For any reason that you will be out past curfew you must have prior approval. Exceptions would be work or meeting but must be approved prior. Being caught out after curfew will result in automatic
sanction.

Introduction
From the Talbott Recovery Campus
Welcome to the Talbott Recovery Campus guide for a safe and sustained recovery. This document was developed through a collaborative effort between some of the best minds in addiction care today
and will help you make wise decisions, ensuring that medications you may be prescribed and incidental exposure to alcohol do not threaten your hard won recovery.
This guide is divided into three sections and is based on the drug classification system developed nearly 20 years ago by Dr. Paul Earley and recently expanded on by Bruce Merkin, M.D., Renee Enstrom,
Nicholas Link and the staff at Glenbeigh hospital. Part one provides a way of categorizing medications according to their safety. Part two offers a list of liquid medications that do NOT contain alcohol.
Section three was developed by Greg Skipper, M.D., FASAM and provides a list of common household products that contain ethyl alcohol and could produce a false positive on testing for alcohol.
Avoiding these products will decrease the likelihood you will absorb or ingest small quantities of alcohol that could sensitize your system and threaten recovery.
Please remember that this guide is only intended as a quick reference and never as a substitute for the advice of your own personal physician. It is essential that you inform all of your personal physicians,
dentists and other health care providers of your chemical dependency history so that medications can be prescribed safely and appropriately when they are deemed necessary. Never discontinue or make
any changes in the doses of medication that you may have been prescribed. Doing so may result in unexpected problems such as withdrawal reactions, which in some cases can be life-threatening. The
bottom line is that a recovering addict or alcoholic needs to become a good consumer. Remember that "Recovery Is Its Own Reward." Being healthy and regaining a happy life is your responsibility!

How to Use this Guide
How to Use this Guide
There are many types of medications that may present a hazard to a person beginning the journey of recovery from chemical dependency. These include prescription and over-the-counter medications. The
danger is not always that a recovering addict may develop a new addiction (though this certainly can happen), but that one can be led back into dependence on their drug of choice. The latest scientific
research has proven that all the dependenceproducing drugs act on the brain in the same way to produce addiction, despite having different effects or a different kind of "high" when taken.
In addition, if urine drug screening is part of the recovering person's continuing treatment program, use of many types of medications can result in falsely positive tests for the more highly addictive
classes of drugs, resulting in negative consequences. Therefore, it is very important for a recovering person to learn about the different types of medications and drugs, as well as which ones present a
special risk to continuing recovery and sobriety. The commonly available medications and drugs are divided into three classes —A, B and C — to indicate three levels of risk.
Class A drugs must be avoided completely, as they are well known to produce addiction and are the most dangerous of all. Only under very unusual conditions can Class A drugs be taken by a recovering
addict or alcoholic, and only when given by a physician or dentist and with the consent of the addiction medicine physician that follows your care. These exceptional circumstances can include severe
illness and injuries, including major surgery, car accidents and other trauma, and tests or procedures that can only be done under sedation or anesthesia. Medication treatments for certain psychiatric
conditions are in this category as are medications used for drug detoxification. The street names for relevant drugs are also included in Class A.
The medications in Class B are also potentially dangerous, especially when taken by recovering persons without the guidance of a physician or another health care professional. However, under certain
circumstances, the Class B group can be taken safely under a physician's care. We strongly urge you to have an addiction medicine specialist follow your treatment when you are prescribed these
medications.
Class C medications are generally safe from the point of view of addiction recovery. However, overuse of any medication, even the common over-the-counter remedies, can result in unwanted side effects.
People who have struggled with drug addiction or alcoholism must remain aware of the tendency to look for external solutions for internal problems and should avoid taking any of these medications on
their own in order to medicate emotions and feelings. The tools of recovery, including participation at 12-Step fellowship meetings, working the Steps, or talking with a sponsor, counselor or doctor,
provide safe and healthy ways to deal with the strong feelings that can come up at any time in early sobriety.
The three classes of medications that appear on the following pages include both the brand name (i.e. "Valium"), as well as the generic name (i.e. "diazepam"), as the maj ority of prescription bottles are
labeled with the generic name. On the following pages, look for the brand name listed first, followed by the (generic name) in parentheses. For street drugs, the common name is listed first, and the
chemical name or street name is in parentheses. For each drug
group in Class A and B, there is also a brief explanation of the dangers associated with taking the medication or street drug. At the end of the document there are two reference guides. The first is a list of
alcohol-free products grouped by therapeutic category. The manufacturer is listed next to each product name. The second is the Incidental Exposure Index, which details common OTCs and products that
contain alcohol.
Alcohol:
Ale Malt Beverage
Beer (including "near bear" & "non-alcoholic" forms) Whiskey
Brandy Wine
Liqueur Wine Cooler
Alcohol consumption reduces social inhibitions and produces pleasure and a sense of well-being. It is a stimulant (raises blood pressure and heart rate) and a depressant. Alcohol atTects the brain's
reward pathways and appears to be related to interactions with dopamine, GABA, serotonin, opioid and NMDA neurotransmitter systems. The
19
Class A Drugs
Absolutely Avoid'non-alcohol" or "NA" forms of beer should not be consumed because there is a small amount of alcohol present and research shows that smell may be enough to trigger cravings and a subsequent
relapse among certain alcoholics. Please note that there is a variety of cough and cold preparations that contain alcohol and that medications which can be taken in tablet form will not contain ethyl
alcohol. Certain topical products, soft-gels and capsules contain ethyl alcohol and should be avoided. Please refer to the table at the end of the document for a list of alcohol-containing products to avoid.
Antitussives/Expectorants:
Ambenyl (codeine/bromodiphenhydramine) Hydromet (hydrocodone/homatropine)
Duratuss HD (hydrocodone/dextromethorphan) Mytussin (codeine/pseudoephedrine/guaifenesin)
Guiatuss (codeine/pseudoephedrine/guaifenesin) Nucofed (codeine/pseudoephedrine/guaifenesin)
Hycodan Tablets (hydrocodone/homatropine) Phenergan with Codeine (codeine/promethazine)
Hycodan Syrup (hydrocodone/homatropine) Robitussin AC (codeine/guaifenesin)
Hycomine (hydrocodone/chlorpheniramine/ Tussionex PennKinetic (hydrocodone/chlorpheniramine)
phenylephrine/acetaminophen/caffeine) Vicodin Tuss (hydrocodone/guaifenesin)
Hycotuss (hydrocodone/guaifenesin)
Any cough medications containing narcotics such as codeine or hydrocodone should not be used. These medications bind to opiate receptors in the central nervous system, altering the perception of and
response to pain and produce generalized central nervous system depression and may alter mood or cause sedation.
Barbiturates:
Amytal (amobarbital) Esgic (acetaminophen/butalbital/caffeine)
Barbita (phenobarbital) Fioricet (butalbital/acetaminophen/caffeine)
Butisol (butabarbital) Fiorinal (butalbital/aspirin/ caffeine)
Donnatal (phenobarbital/atropine/hyoscyamine/ Nembutal (pentobarbital) scopolamine) Seconal (secobarbital)
These medications can produce central nervous system depression ranging from mild (sedation) to hypnotic (sleep induction). As the dose is increased, coma and death can occur. These medications can
also lead to an unusual excitatory response in some people.
Benzodiazepines:
Ativan (lorazepam) Restoril (temazepam)
Centrax (prazepam) Serax (oxazepam)
Dalmane (flurazepam) Tranxene (chlorazepate)
Doral (quazepam) Valium (diazepam)
Halcion (triazolam) Versed (midazolam)
Klonopin (clonazepam)
Librium (chlordiazepoxide)
Xanax (alprazolam)
These medications can produce an immediate change in mood or affect and can cause central nervous system depression (dose related) resulting in sedation, dizziness, confusion or ataxia, which may
impair physical and mental capabilities. Abrupt discontinuation or a large decrease in dose can lead to seizures, coma or death.
20
Class A Drugs
Absolutely Avoid
Hallucinogens:
Cannabis (grass, green marijuana, pot, weed) Mescaline (peyote)
DMT (dimethyltryptamine) PCP (angel dust, phencyclidine)
Ketamine (special K) Psilocybin (magic mushroom, 'shrooms)
LSD (acid, blotter, paper, sunshine, window pane) 2-CB
Kratum (Mitragyna speciosa-ketum, kratom or kratum, Thai)
Marinol (dronabinol) 5-MeO-DIPT (foxy methoxy)
MDMA (E, eckies, ecstasy, love drug, X, XTC) STP (DOM)
Hallucinogens act in the central nervous system. Using these substances can possibly lead to memory disturbances, psychosis and vivid hallucinations. Marinol is the psychoactive substance in marijuana
and may cause withdrawal symptoms if stopped suddenly. *The above is only a partial list of Hullucinogens.
Inhalants:
Aerosols (hair sprays, deodorants) Nail Polish Remover (acetone)
Airplane Glue Paint (butane, propane, toluene)
Amyl Nitrate (poppers) Solvents (paint thinner, gasoline, glue, correction
Butyl Nitrate (room deodorizer) fluid, felt tip marker)
Gases (ether, chloroform, nitrous oxide, butane Varnish (xylene, toluene)
lighters, propane tanks, whipped cream dispensers)
Inhalants are central nervous system depressants. Use of inhalants can cause sedation and loss of inhibitions possibly leading to liver, kidney, nerve, heart, brain, throat, nasal and lung damage
up to and including coma and death.
21
Class A Drugs
Absolutely Avoid
Opioids:
Actiq (fentanyl oral transmucosal) OxyContin (oxycodone)
Buprenex (buprenorphine) OxyIR (oxycodone)
Combunox (oxycodone/ibuprofen) Percocet (oxycodone/acetaminophen)
Darvocet (propoxyphene napsylate/acetaminophen) Percodan (oxycodone/aspirin)
Darvon (propoxyphene hydrochloride) Roxanol (morphine sulfate)
Demerol (meperidine) Roxicet (oxycodone/acetaminophen)
Dilaudid (hydromorphone) Roxicodone (oxycodone)
Dolophine (methadone) Soma Compound with Codeine
Duragesic (fentanyl transdermal) (codeine/carisoprodol/aspirin)
Endocet (oxycodone/acetaminophen) Stadol (butorphanol)
Heroin (down, H, horse, smack) Suboxone (buprenorphine/naloxone)
Kadian (morphine sulfate) Subutex (buprenorphine)
Lorcet (hydrocodone/acetaminophen) Talacen (pentazocine/acetaminophen)
Lortab (hydrocodone/acetaminophen) Talwin (pentazocine lactate)
Methadose (methadone) Tylenol #2, #3 or #4 (codeine/acetaminophen)
MS Contin (morphine sulfate) Ultram (tramadol) (a non-opioid analgesic)
Norco (hydrocodone/acetaminophen) Vicodin (hydrocodone/acetaminophen)
Nubain (nalbuphine HCI)
Opioids bind to opiate receptors in the central nervous system causing inhibition of ascending pain pathways and altering the perception of and response to pain. Generalized central nervous system
depression is also produced. Tolerance or drug dependence may result from extended use. Buprenorphine binds to mu receptors in the brain leading to a suppression of withdrawal and cravings but also
feeling of euphoria. Most of the drugs in this class have the potential for drug dependency and abrupt cessation may precipitate withdrawal.
Gastrointestinal (Anti-Diarrheals):
Lomotil (atropine/diphenoxylate) Motofen (atropine/difenoxin)
Diphenoxylate is a member of the opioid class of drugs. Atropine is added to discourage abuse for recreational purposes. At recommended doses, the atropine causes no effects but in larger doses,
unpleasant symptoms are experienced. These medications should not be used because high doses may cause physical and psychological dependence with prolonged use.
Other Central Nervous System Depressants:
GHB (G, gamma-hydroxybutyrate, everclear)
22
Class A Drugs
Absolutely AvoidThis category depresses the central nervous system possibly leading to confusion, psychosis, paranoia, hallucinations, agitation, depression, seizures, respiratory depression, decreases in level of
consciousness, coma and death.
Other Sedative-Hypnotics:
Ambien (zolpidem) Noctec (chloral hydrate)
Doriden (glutethimide) Placidyl (ethchlorvynol)
Librax (chlordiazepoxide/clidinium) Quaalude, Sopor (methaqualone)
Lunesta (eszopiclone) Soma (carisoprodol)
Midrin (acetaminophen/dichloralphenazone/ Soma Compound (carisoprodol/aspirin)
isometheptene)
Miltown (meprobamate)
Sonata (zaleplon)
These drugs act on the central nervous system and have the potential for drug dependency and abuse. Withdrawal symptoms can be seen if stopped suddenly.
Stimulants:
Adderall (amphetamine/dextroamphetamine) Meridia (sibutramine)
Adipex-P (phentermine) Metadate (methylphenidate)
Cocaine (blow, coke, crack, rock, snow, white) Methamphetamine (crank, crystal meth, glass, ice,
Concerta (methylphenidate) speed)
Cylert (pemoline) Methylin (methylphenidate)
Dexedrine (dextroamphetamine) Preludin (phenmetrazine)
Fastin (phentermine) Ritalin (methylphenidate)
Focalin (dexmethylphenidate) Tenuate (diethylpropion)
Stimulants cause physical and psychological addiction, impair memory and learning, hearing and seeing, speed of information processing, and problem-solving ability.
Addiction Treatments:***NOTE: Although the medications listed in this Addiction Treatments section are specifically intended to be taken for prevention of relapse to dependence upon one or more drugs, none of them are habit-forming
or addictive themselves and should therefore be considered safe for recovering people to take. However, their proper use in the context of a recovery program requires monitoring by a health care professional, and it
is for this reason that we place them in Class B.***
Antabuse (disulfiram) Revia (naltrexone)
Campral (acamprosate) Symmetrel (amantadine)
Catapres (clonidine)
Chantix (varenicline)
Zyban (bupropion)
Naltrexone may precipitate intense withdrawal symptoms in patients addicted to opiates. Clonidine acts via autoreceptors in the locus coeruleus to suppress adrenergic hyperactivity there that is involved
in the expression of the opioid withdrawal syndrome. Disulfiram is dangerous if taken with alcohol. Amantadine can cause decreased mental alertness or altered coordination. Chantix and Zyban are
medications to help with nicotine (cigarettes, cigars, chewing tobacco, snuff) addiction.

New markers for alcohol use, ethylglucuronide (EtG), ethylsulfate
(EtS) and others, have added tremendous value to routine drug
testing by their capacity to better document abstinence (allowing for
more authoritative advocacy) and sensitively to detect early relapse
(allowing for earlier assistance). Since these new markers are highly
sensitive, it's important that individuals being tested try to avoid
exposure to products containing alcohol that might cause positive
tests. This issue is identical to that of avoiding poppy seeds to avoid a
positive test for morphine. However, there are many more products
containing alcohol. ***Please note that this list is not exhaustive,
therefore it is recommended that patients check labels or with
manufacturers before using.
Possible Sources of Incidental Exposure
Foods
Foods can contain trace amounts or large quantities of alcohol. Avoid
desserts and other foods cooked with or containing alcoholic
beverages such as vodka, sherry, wine, etc. Also avoid foods
containing significant amounts of vanilla extract (especially if added
to drinks), wine vinegar, soy sauces and other condiments with
alcohol content on their labels.
Hygiene Products
Many hygiene related products, such as mouthwashes, contain
alcohol and should be avoided. For a comprehensive list of
hygiene products that contain alcohol, please read the Alcohol-
Containing Products Table on the following pages.

Incidental Exposure IndexAlcohol-Containing Products Table
Over-the-Counter Medications
Over-the-counter medications, such as cough syrup and tinctures,
contain alcohol and should be avoided. Please review the Over-the-
Counter Medications Alcohol Content Table on the following pages
for a more detailed breakdown of OTCs that contain alcohol.
Prescription Medications
Many prescription medications, including asthma inhalers, contain
alcohol or ethanol. Always ask your health care provider prior to
taking any prescription medications.
Other Sources ofAlcohol
Alcohol can be found in many common products including
communion wine and "alcohol-free" beer and wine. Recovering
patients should also avoid products like hand sanitizers, deodorant
sprays, cosmetics and insecticides that contain ethanol vapor and
can be inhaled or absorbed through skin application.
Alcohol-Containing Products Table
The following is a list of products and their alcohol contents. Not all
of these would actually be likely to be sources of incidental exposure
and some would result in very toxic effects if there was much
exposure (i.e. Clorox).
