Contact UsWhat Is Medication Management?
Opioid medications are derived from the opium poppy plant or made synthetically. These medications, which are strong and used to relieve chronic pain as a short-term option, weaken pain signals to the brain but create several serious side effects, such as:
- Breathing problems
- Sleepiness
- Constipation
- Dry mouth
- Sleep apnea
Patients taking these medications also may develop a dependence on the medication and accidentally overdose. Common full and partial opioids include:
- Fentanyl
- Hydrocodone
- Methadone
- Morphine
- Oxycodone
- Tapentadol
- Codeine
- Tramadol
- Buprenorphine
Prescription opioids can help manage moderate to severe pain, including cancer-related pain, post-surgical pain, and vascular pain. Meet with our pain care specialists at Pain Zero to discuss safe and effective ways to manage your pain.
What to Expect from Medication Management
Many medications come in pill form or may be administered intravenously or through a pump. In seldom cases, they also can be taken as lozenges, lollipops, or skin patches. These medications can be used as an effective, customized pain management plan under a physician's supervision.
The most common indication for medication management is cancer-related pain. Non-cancer pain management typically does not involve opioid medication as a long-term solution to managing chronic pain.
The government and federal officials have had recent influence in the practice of medicine specifically pain management by creating restrictions in dosing and limiting supplies to pharmacies. Even though everyone experiences pain differently, our clinical decisions are influenced by legal and medical reasoning thus providing the best course of treatment for all involved.
To avoid the risk of addiction and to minimize side effects, our pain care experts have extensive training and experience in prescribing opioid and non-opioid pain medications and overseeing these types of pain management plans.

Dr Lesley is Amazing!! Shes kind, caring, & listens. I absolutely loved meeting her.
This place is amazing and the best Pain Clinic I’ve ever been to! The staff is incredible! And Lesley Newell is the best!!!! Having 17 spine surgeries I’ve had a lot of nerve damage and neurological junk going on with my legs and arms that I’ve dealt with for several years that nobody could seem to help with. After my visit with Leslie Newell, she solved that for me and I am just amazed that this lady knew exactly what to do to help me and now I haven’t dealt with that neurological issue now for a little over a month. She is amazing! And if any of the Pain Zero staff sees this, please relay this to Lesley! She is a godsend! 🙏🏼

Because these medications are highly addictive, it's essential to follow our pain care specialist's instructions when taking the medication.
