The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) has published a new guide designed to help clinicians reduce or discontinue opioid use in their patients who are on long-term therapy.
The “Guide for Clinicians on the Appropriate Dosage Reduction or Discontinuation of Long-Term Opioid Analgesics” can be found at https://www.hhs.gov/ opioids/ sites/ default/ files/ 2019-10/ Dosage_Reduction_Discontinuation.pdf.
