Q A growing issue among baby boomers and older populations involves the use of prescription pain medication. The newest regulations require a monthly office visit to see the prescribing specialist (a family practitioner can’t prescribe on-going pain medication) before a prescription can be written (up from quarterly office visits previously required). For people on limited income, this becomes a financial issue and is definitely a concern in terms of access. Clearly something had to be done to reduce the abuse of opioid medications. However, the increased regulations may have backfired as now we are seeing a renewed heroin use epidemic. In thinking about the NASW code of ethics with regard to the dignity and worth of the person, what would you recommend with regard to revisions to these laws?

The National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) defines opioids as “a class of drugs that include the illegal drug heroin, synthetic opioids such as fentanyl, and pain relievers available legally by prescription, such as oxycodone (OxyContin®), hydrocodone (Vicodin®), codeine, morphine, and many others” The increased regulations have clearly backfired because people are finding new ways to procure illegal drugs. The line between the drugs used to reduce pain and the drugs used for the purpose of substance abuse is blurry. The heroin use epidemic is a scary proposition. The NASW code of ethics states that “dignity and worth of the person” is a core value.
