There is hope for people who suffer from chronic pain and fear chemical dependency or ineffective pain management.
Chronic pain is a serious health problem confronting many today.
The pain is often disabling and there are few alternatives for those seeking help. As a result, many people become addicted to the medications they are using to help manage their pain. Some may be in recovery from chemical dependency and have pain conditions or injuries that require treatment, but want to avoid relapse. Others may not be in recovery, but have chronic pain and want to avoid becoming chemically dependent. Still others are in chronic pain, leading to either abusing or becoming dependent on pain medication, and as a result experiencing problems.
