Opioids and the Law

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceeding › Chapter

Abstract

As physicians, one of the most important aspects of our job is the alleviation of pain, both acute and chronic. Opioids have been an integral part of easing pain for thousands of years and continue to play an important role in the medical landscape today. The downside of these often powerful medications is the possibility of those taking them to become addicted and divert them away from the intended use.
