The new recommendations encourage doctors to work with patients individually when prescribing opioids for pain — instead of applying a rigid, one-size-fits-all approach to patients.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention this week released new guidelines for prescribing opioids that encourage doctors to work with patients individually when prescribing opioids for pain — instead of applying a rigid, one-size-fits-all approach to patients.
While nonbinding, those recommendations had a significant impact on pain patients who require opioid treatment and influenced policies around the country that led patients to rapidly taper off opioids or abruptly stop using them entirely, increasing their risk of painful withdrawal, the CDC wrote in its new guidelines.
Perrone said she was pleased that the CDC recommended that physicians treat opioid use disorder with medications like methadone and buprenorphine — opioids themselves that have been proven to produce more lasting recovery than abstinence-based detox programs. She added that she wished the guidelines had recommended that clinicians consider prescribing buprenorphine for chronic pain.
