Personal : This decision may have been a personal one. Many states are imposing many rules that make it mandatory to screen patients who are on opioids. These rules may require time and resources your physician may not have.

Yes: First of all you'll need a doctor to prescribe any opiod prescription. You should see a specialist about your long standing pain to see if opiates are the only solution to your pain management.
