Overview

Prescribing practices regarding opioids can lead to long term use, addiction and misuse/abuse. A better understanding of best practice regarding opioid us has the potential to reduce these untoward outcomes. Furthermore, an understanding of skills and strategies to reduce opioid prescribing through alternative/multimodal pain therapy regimens and use of the lowest indicated dose for the shortest time that is feasible has been shown to reduce subsequent
misuse and abuse.
