AbstractNo there is no well-tested, easily administered screening tool to detect drug-seeking behaviors in primary care patients taking long-term opioids or being considered for such therapy (strength of recommendation [SOR]: studies of intermediate outcomes). Several tools have undergone preliminary testing in pain centers and are being tested in different settings with larger numbers of patients. For primary care providers, a useful screening tool for predicting drug-seeking behaviors is the Screener and Opioid Assessment for Patients with Pain (SOAPP-R; SOR: studies of intermediate outcomes). Drug-seeking behavior in patients on long-term opioid therapy can be monitored with the Current Opioid Misuse Measure (COMM; SOR: studies of intermediate outcomes).
