Safe Use of Opioids
Opioids are often prescribed to relieve the intense pain that accompanies a serious injury or surgical procedure. While opioids can be addictive, they are considered safe and effective for acute pain management if used for the shortest length of time and at the lowest effective dose necessary. A doctor who prescribes opioids for pain management should regularly monitor your pain levels with the goal of safely discontinuing their use when your pain is more manageable (or under control).
Understanding Opioid Medicines for Pain Management
Opioids are medicines that can help ease pain. They can be used to treat both acute and chronic pain that ranges from moderate to severe.
Taking Opioid Medicine
For your health and safety, it's important to take opioids exactly as directed. This helps make sure they work as they should.
Why Opioids Are Addictive
Opioids are addictive drugs. Whether it's medications prescribed by doctors, medications purchased illegally or the 'street drug' heroin they all have a direct impact on a person's brain. People can work with a healthcare team to manage their addiction.
