Chronic pain occurs as a complicated web of emotions and physical symptoms. The most common way to treat pain is to use opioid medications which actually complicate the course of chronic pain. For some who develop addiction, matters become much worse. This session will review the interactions of pain, suffering and addiction as they interface in your clients and present suggestions for intervention and treatment.
