• To administer patient’s informed and consent document of treatment options;

• Physician shall abide by all of the rules, regulations, and policies established or promulgated by the CLINIC, either orally or in writing, from time to time
• Physicians shall NOT provide any non-addictive related services to the Clinic’s patients or colleagues at any time.  Treating Clinic patients’ and/or Clinic colleagues’ non-addiction needs while this Agreement is in effect is a violation of the Agreement and grounds for the immediate termination.
