SR Print(0) ID 1163137023 T1 Misuse of Prescription Substances and Other Substances T2 Essentials of Psychiatry in Primary Care: Behavioral Health in the Medical Setting YR 2019 FD 2019 PB McGraw-Hill Education PP New York, NY SN 9781260116779 LK accessmedicine.mhmedical.com/content.aspx?aid=1163137023 RD 2024/10/11 AB In this chapter, we address substance use, the final topic for which future clinicians will need considerable mastery in handling mental health problems in medical settings. We’ll focus mainly on prescription-based disorders where the prescribing clinician has great control. Physicians unfortunately received little clinical training in chronic pain or in using opioids when in medical school or in most residencies, just one among many factors contributing to the current opioid crisis.
