Pain Management

Hanley Center strives to develop effective methods to help patients manage pain without the need for medications. Continuous reliance on medications to alleviate pain often develops into a dependency or addiction on the medication itself, especially for those who already struggle with addictive tendencies.

The treatment protocols to address chronic pain often develop into a co-occurring condition with substance abuse. Hanley Center is working diligently through collaborative research to discern how these issues are integrated to produce recovery. By explore treatments that bridge the dichotomy between abstinence and harm reduction theories of intervention, Hanley Center is making great strides in addiction prevention and pain management.

Learning what treatments were received in the past, and what worked the best helps to determine a holistic method to pain management that helps the patient to recover from medications, rather than simply instilling a method of harm reduction.
