Pain Management

Accurate and Timely Results

As the treatment of chronic pain is evolving, in recent years the United States has witnessed a sharp rise in the misuse and abuse of illicit drugs such as opioids. Because of this, prescription monitoring and maintenance is a major responsibility of prescribing clinicians working with individuals who suffer from chronic pain. Bluewater Dx collaborates with pain practitioners by customizing prescription drug panels that address individual patient needs.

Periodic urine drug testing for prescription drug monitoring helps providers:

• Identify early signs of prescription abuse, misuse, diversion or addiction
• Detect additional medications the patient may be using
• Manage pain therapy safely
• Test for other illicit drugs
• Improve overall treatment adherence
