A2 - Laponis, Ryan PY - 2019 T2 - Behavioral Medicine: A Guide for Clinical Practice, 5e AB - Opioid analgesics play a central role in pain management; hydrocodone-acetaminophen is the most commonly prescribed medication the United States. At the same time, widespread use of opioid analgesics to treat chronic pain in the 1990s and 2000s contributed to a rapid rise in opioid-related deaths and patients diagnosed with opioid use disorder. In 2016 more than 42,000 deaths in the United States were associated with prescription opioids, including 1 in 5 deaths among adults between 25 and 34 years old. Encouraging behavioral change related to pain and opioids can be especially challenging; both clinicians and patients report that conversations about opioids, especially opioids prescribed for chronic pain, are frequently frustrating and unproductive.
