  1. Chronic Pain and Chemical Dependency

  2. Introduction • In the world of scientific journals and medical studies, there are dozens of reports about chronic pain recovery all finding the same thing — that it often goes hand in hand with chemical dependency and substance abuse.  • Of course, each of the researchers, scientists, and doctors have their own thoughts on the matter, but they all pretty much come back to the point that chronic pain starts a vicious cycle that often leads to relying on some type of painkillers.

  3. Pain and Suffering • Regardless of what type of chronic pain a person may be dealing with, constantly being uncomfortable leads to a loss of both productivity during the day and sleep at night.  • Without the ability to function at a normal level, people are more likely to turn to controlled substances — whether they’re opioids, alcohol, or even cannabis-based — as a means to cut down on their discomfort and get back to a more regular lifestyle.

  4. Unfortunately, what’s first used in moderation can quickly fall into a pattern of dependency and abuse. • In addition to the physical discomfort, the mental and emotional strain of chronic pain can also play a major factor in developing a chemical dependency. • Factoring in how quickly chemical dependency can get out of hand for even the healthiest individual, the descent for someone suffering from chronic pain can take over before it is even noticed. The good news is that even the worst case scenarios can be turned around with some help and a push in the right direction from a treatment program that specializes in treating chronic pain without medication.

  5. Treatment for Chronic Pain • We believe that anyone suffering from chronic pain can be restored to a highly functional life with purpose and meaning as a result of the tools acquired at Roots Chronic Pain Recovery program (ROOTS-CPR). • Our carefully selected interdisciplinary team of compassionate leaders in modern pain care will guide the patient on a path to reclaim their health and wellness.
