Prescription Drug Diversion and Pain provides an interdisciplinary
overview of medications used to treat chronic pain, specifically
the benefits and risks that are posed by long-term opioids use.
These essential pain-relieving medications must be carefully
managed to prevent serious side effects that may include physical
dependence, addiction, and even death, which has led in recent
years to increased attention on the development of alternative
treatments for chronic pain. This book not only offers a single,
comprehensive source for understanding the specialized field of the
opioid crisis, but also addresses provocative topics including how
pain drugs came to be regulated by the U.S. Government and the
rarely-discussed aggressive marketing behind the spread of these
drugs. Chapters are written by expert contributors from diverse
backgrounds in medicine, psychiatry, pharmacy, nursing, health law,
and ethics. Prescription Drug Diversion and Pain is a must-read for
healthcare professionals, caregivers, policy makers, regulatory
officials, law enforcement, and those in the pharmaceutical
industry seeking to address the current and future opioid crisis.
