Clinical Characteristics of Patients With and Without Chronic Pain Seeking Behavioral Health Treatment for Co-Occurring Opioid Use and Mental Health Disorders
This study suggests that individuals with CP as well as OUD and co-occurring mental health disorders may have worse mental health, quality of life, sleep, and physical functioning upon entering treatment compared to those without CP. Thus, behavioral health treatment providers should assess broad mental and physical health needs in addition to screening for CP to address any issues, which may interfere with successful behavioral health treatment.
