Dangers of Leaving
Against Medical Advice
Why is Leaving Against Medical/Clinical Advice Life Threatening?
The opioid epidemic has done nothing but plague families with sorrow and loss. More than 52,000 people will die from overdoses this year and opioids account for over 33,000 of those deaths per year. In our pursuit to providing quality treatment to combat this epidemic, we also put lives in danger when they leave our care before they complete their treatment plan.
Leaving Against Medical Advice (AMA) during a treatment episode comes with great risks, while completing your treatment program to the satisfaction of our trained Medical Doctors and Clinical Professionals comes with great benefits.
It is so important to us that ABTRS communicates these risks to patients and loved ones when confronted with the issue of considering leaving AMA. Learning to control cravings is one of the most challenging parts about be in treatment and having loved ones watch their recovering addict struggle is part of the journey.
Below, please read closely so that ABTRS can be certain that you have been made aware of the heightened risks you will incur should you choose to leave treatment against medical advice.
