Patient and Family Agreement on OpioidsJuly 24th, 2018
Opioids are a special class of medications used to treat certain kinds of pain. Some of the common examples of opioids are morphine, oxycodone, codeine, buprenorphine, methadone, and fentanyl. Opioids are strong and effective in treating pain, but they have serious side effects and can lead to addiction. Opioids are not right for everyone. There are several opioid alternatives to pain management that are effective and may be better for your needs. It is important to ask your healthcare provider about which medications are better suited for your pain. Both you and your prescriber should agree on a treatment plan based on your individual medical condition and healthcare needs.
