Opioids are the leading cause of accidental death in Virginia, and the opioid epidemic was declared a public health emergency in 2016. Since 2010, opioid connected deaths have increased nearly five-fold, devastating communities across America, claiming more lives than AIDS at the height of the HIV crisis.
Patients who have had a current or past history of addiction or any psychological problems (including abuse) are at higher risks for developing opioid misuse disorders and/or addiction during chronic opioid therapy.
The patients we see can be quite challenging. Most practices do not have psychological support on site. Learn more about optimizing interactions with difficult patient and difficult situations.
