    AbstractDrug abuse and addiction are persistent problems in the United States and around the world. This is an ongoing issue for health care providers, as substance abuse is seen in 25% to 40% of patients admitted to hospitals for general treatment. Many patients with substance use disorders have a higher risk for adverse events; however, only a small percentage will volunteer information regarding prior substance use. This article discusses the present opioid crisis, mechanisms behind chronic pain and substance abuse, current clinical findings, treatment therapies, and abuse deterrents.Published by Elsevier Inc.
