The Right to Pain Relief and Other Deep Roots of the Opioid Epidemic
"Pain has always been a problem for Western Society, but not the same kind of problem. Until about 1500, pain was primarily understood as a religious problem. Pain and suffering challenged the truth of religious belief and the legitimacy of the Church: How could a just, merciful, and all-powerful God allow so much pain and suffering in the world? As our society became more secular over the next 300 years, pain came to be understood primarily as a social problem. This modernizing society aimed to create the best environment for human flourishing: How might human society be designed and regulated to reduce the pain and suffering of everyone to the minimum possible? At least since 1900, we have separated pain as a medical problem from the remainder of human suffering. We have aimed to reduce this problem to a minimum through medical treatment. This quest has led us to our opioid epidemic. To fully comprehend the limitations of this medical interpretation, we must appreciate how the medical explanation of pain grew out of earlier religious and social interpretations of pain"--

Expert Decision Making on Opioid Treatment
Over the last several decades opioid treatment for chronic pain has become increasingly popular. From the sense that chronic pain had previously been undertreated, to drug companies anxious to sell new "designer" opioids, usage has increased several-fold. In its unfortunate history non-specialists were persuaded to prescribe opioids before they could possibly understand the complexity of the treatment. So great were the pressures to prescribe, opioids were prescribed indiscriminately. It became almost impossible to deny opioids without seeming inhumane. While carefully selected and managed opioid therapy can benefit certain patients, casual use fails in several respects. A vast educational e...

Pain, the Opioid Epidemic, and Depression
"Opioid prescribing rates peaked in the United States in 2012. Although opioid prescribing in the U.S. has moderated somewhat, the peak of prescribing left a legacy of patients struggling with opioid dependence. Worse still, there is little doubt that the prescription opioid epidemic continues to contribute to subsequent waves of the U.S. opioid epidemic involving heroin and later fentanyl. Much attention is currently focused on the 4th wave of the opioid epidemic, characterized by fentanyl and polydrug abuse. However, minimal progress has been made in reducing prescription opioid overdose deaths. Since 2016 the prevalence of annual drug overdoses involving prescription opioids has remained ...
