  • First Online:
Deer's Treatment of Pain

Abstract

Chronic opioid therapy, and specifically its access, has undergone dramatic swings over the last 30 years, with little focus on the data until recently. There is a clear focus on minimizing opioid initiation and employing opioid mitigating treatments. In this chapter, we review the current guideline statements regarding safe prescribing and discuss their role on the non-cancer-related patient.
