Outpatient Opioid Prescribing for Chronic Pain is an essential resource for pain management specialists, primary care physicians, pharmacists, and other healthcare providers involved in the care of patients with chronic pain. Through a comprehensive and balanced approach, this book seeks to empower healthcare professionals to manage chronic pain effectively while safeguarding against the risks associated with opioid therapy.
