Pa<strong>in</strong> <strong>Management</strong> def<strong>in</strong>e physical dependence as a state of adaption that is manifested by a drug class for which<br />
specific withdrawal syndrome can be produced by abrupt cessation, rapid dose reduction, decreas<strong>in</strong>g blood<br />
levels of the drug, and/or adm<strong>in</strong>istration of an antagonist. Tolerance, however, refers to a state of adaption <strong>in</strong><br />
which exposure to a drug <strong>in</strong>duces changes that result <strong>in</strong> dim<strong>in</strong>ution of one or more of the drug effects over time.<br />
Neither dependence or tolerance <strong>in</strong> and of itself is <strong>in</strong>dicative of addiction. Addiction is def<strong>in</strong>ed by the American<br />
Academy of Pa<strong>in</strong> <strong>Management</strong> and American Pa<strong>in</strong> Society as well as the American Society of Addiction Medic<strong>in</strong>e<br />
as a primary chronic, neurobiological disease, with genetic, psychosocial, and environmental factors <strong>in</strong>fluenc<strong>in</strong>g<br />
its development and manifestations. It is characterized by behaviors that <strong>in</strong>clude one or more of the follow<strong>in</strong>g:<br />
Impaired control over drug use, compulsive use, cont<strong>in</strong>ued use despite harm, and crav<strong>in</strong>gs. Abuse, however, is<br />
generally characterized by conscious, often psychosocial motivated use of illicit substances and medication<br />
outside the scope of usual medical practices, but the patient has the ability to stop the drug when harmed.<br />
Addicts, however, cannot stop use despite harm. The majority of legitimate pa<strong>in</strong> patients do not develop an<br />
addiction to their analgesic medication. There is a biological normal phenomenon to develop issues related to<br />
tolerance and dependence. It is the physician’s responsibility to address issues related to tolerance and<br />
dependence by monitor<strong>in</strong>g patients carefully on a regular basis and adjust medication accord<strong>in</strong>gly to avoid<br />
sequelae of tolerance as well as dependence. Dictated but not proof read.<br />
