Deciding Whether MOUD Is Right for You. Your doctor or other medical provider will meet with you to decide whether MOUD is right for you and what medication is likely to work best. The doctor will examine you and ask about such things as your past use of opioids, how opioid use may have affected your life, and whether you have medical or other problems that might cause you serious problems if you take certain med- ications. The doctor may also talk to other doctors you have seen in the past or look at your past medical records from other doctors to learn about treatment you had in the past.

Nothing you say about opioid use or other substance use during these meetings will be used against you. You will not be prosecuted or sanctioned in the program for your past use of opioids or other drugs. The only reason for these meetings is to decide whether MOUD is likely to work and be safe for you. You can, however, be prosecuted for selling or trading your medication to someone else if the police find out about it on their own, and not because of something you said while in treatment court. ______ I understand this information
