Numerous guidelines targeting the safe use of opioids for chronic pain have been published but substantial challenges persist in the clinical application of best practice recommendations. The purpose of this article is to describe a pragmatic approach to the clinical care of adults with chronic pain receiving long-term opioid therapy. Three key components of care will emphasized including (1) the medical and mental health assessment prior to initiating opioid therapy; (2) clinical surveillance during the course of long-term opioid therapy; and (3) clinical considerations and strategies governing opioid tapering. The pragmatic approaches set forth in this review could be one small step toward operationalizing best practice recommendations for implementation in daily clinical practice. However, a pressing need exists for ongoing research to further clarify the optimal role that long-term opioid therapy has in the treatment of chronic pain.
