Academic program: Treating pain in people who have had problems with opioids usually requires a referral center pain program which can 1) use procedures, such as nerve blocks, facet blocks and other techniques (TENS units etc) 2) use other medications, like anticonvulsants and certain cardiac meds that can also reduce pain and 3) help with a pain psychologist to assist you in managing pain through your own ability.
