Informed Consent for the Use of Opioid MedicationOpioid Treatment Agreement • April 8th, 2015
The term Opioid is a medical name for strong painkillers and like all medications they have risks and benefits. The purpose of this document is to outline those risks and benefits so that together with your health care practitioner you can determine if they are the right therapy for you to try. Using opioid medication is always a trial and, if the goals of using the medication are not realized opioids, should always be gradually stopped. The possible side effects are the same for all the opioids but different people react to each opioid individually. What might work well for you with few side effects may not be appropriate for the next person. Most of the side effects are worst when the medication is first started and can be effectively managed.
