Opioids are controlled substances that can be an adjunct for managing many patients with chronic pain; however, they have the potential for misuse or abuse. Drug testing in the clinical setting is utilized to monitor medication adherence, as an initial diagnosis for drug misuse or addiction, to encourage or reinforce healthy behavioral change, or as required for continued treatment.

Supporting comprehensive pain management drug testing is a useful tool in pain management that provides valuable objective information to assist in diagnostic and therapeutic decision-making. Results of a drug testing provide confirmation of the agreed-upon treatment plan (adherence/compliance). They can diagnose relapse or drug misuse as early as possible, and they also can be used to advocate for the patient with third-party interests. The purpose of drug testing should be explained to the patient at the initial evaluation.
