The Common

The central premise of this chapter on providing integrated care for both pain and addiction is that all patients presenting with pain are at risk for development of substance use disorders. Assessment and treatment of the complex interplay between pain syndromes and substance use disorders proceed most productively by employing an integrated model, with a multidisciplinary approach and with employment of multiple diagnostic instruments. The author describes an integrated care model as it applies to each of the common substances of use: opioids, tobacco, alcohol, benzodiazepines, cannabinoids, barbiturates, and stimulants. The basis for a decision to refer for evaluation or treatment is described. The chapter concludes with an argument for collaboration between disciplines, notably pain medicine and addiction medicine, as being the current standard of acceptable care for patients whose illnesses dwell in both camps. A separate text box provides additional information and resources bearing on this chapter’s topics.
