Pain and Medication Dependency
Until recently, the idea that medication dependency and pain problems could co-exist in the same patient was not recognised by health professionals.
At StAMPS, specialists in the areas of pain medicine and addiction medicine are now working collaboratively with assisting patients with very real pain conditions who also have co-morbidity related to medication dependency.
StAMPS is committed to taking a leadership role in the assessment, and where appropriate, the ongoing management of persons with pain and medication dependency.
The aim of our service is to take a balanced and evidence based view of the use of both prescription and over the counter medication in the treatment of chronic non-malignant pain. Patients with co-existing pain and medication dependency deserve expert assessment and management of both conditions to ensure optimal care. These patients can be managed as potentially either inpatients or outpatients.
