    The epidemic -- Guidance for opioid prescribing -- Assess benefits of opioid therapy -- Assess harms of opioid therapy -- Tapering and discontinuing opioid therapy.

    Patients with pain should receive treatment that provides the greatest benefit. Opioids are not the first-line therapy for chronic pain outside of active cancer treatment, palliative care, and end-of-life care. Evidence suggests that nonopioid treatments, including nonopioid medications and nonpharmacological therapies can provide relief to those suffering from chronic pain, and are safer.
