    Preferred Drug List (PDL) OREGON HEALTH PLAN TrilliumOHP.com 1-877-600-5472 TTY: 711 MCA_EK16V5 Approved 01/01/2019 OHP-TRIL-17-195 Pharmacy Program Trillium Community Health Plan’s goal is to offer the right drug coverage to our members. We work with doctors and pharmacists to make sure we offer drugs used to treat many conditions and illnesses. Trillium covers prescription and some over the counter drugs when they are ordered by a licensed prescriber. The pharmacy program does not cover all drugs. Some drugs need our prior approval. Some have a limit on the amount of drug that can be given. Sometimes you must get Trillium’s prior approval. Even with approval, we will not pay if you are no longer on OHP or if the treatment isn’t covered by OHP. To be paid, the treatment must follow treatment guidelines. This might include step therapy, meaning trying less costly treatment options first. Medications newly approved by the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) require prior- approval until reviewed by our Pharmacy and Therapeutics Committee. Filling a Prescription You can have your prescriptions filled at a Trillium network pharmacy. At the pharmacy, you will need to give the pharmacist your prescription and your ID card. You can find a pharmacy that is in network by calling a Trillium Member Services Representative at 541-485-2155; Toll Free: 1-877-600-5472, or by using the Find a Provider tool on our website at https://providersearch.trilliumhealthplan.com. You do not have to pay for covered drugs. The Trillium preferred drug list has a large number of brand name and generic drugs on it.

However, at times it is hard to tell that youth are developing a problem with alcohol and drugs. This guide summarizes the signs of intoxication, use, and abuse commonly reported by substance users. It is important to recognize, however, that some of the behaviors and experiences described in this booklet may also be present among adolescents who are not using substances. For this reason, when deciding on the best course of action to obtain help for your teenager, make sure to talk with your teenager, gather as much information as possible, and consult with health professionals available in your community. i Alcohol and drug use poses significant risks for the healthy development of adolescents, yet substances of abuse are often readily accessible at school, at home, and in the community. This guide has been developed to facilitate early identification of substance use problems in youth. Included is information about common drugs of abuse and key information to help identify youth at risk. Recognizing the signs of use includes how a teenager might look, act, and feel while intoxicated as well as drug para- phernalia and language associated with each drug. g Signs of intoxication vary by type of
