How Does Drug Tolerance Affect Drug Dependence? - Pain Medicine Network

How Does Drug Tolerance Affect Drug Dependence? In this informative video, we will discuss the relationship between drug tolerance and drug dependence, particularly in the context of pain management. We will define drug tolerance and explain how it leads to the need for higher medication doses over time. Understanding this process is essential for those managing chronic pain and navigating their treatment options.

We will also cover the concept of drug dependence, detailing how the body adapts to medication and the potential withdrawal symptoms that may arise if the medication is suddenly stopped. Importantly, we will clarify the distinction between dependence and addiction, emphasizing that while dependence can develop with long-term medication use, it does not necessarily indicate addictive behavior.

Throughout the video, we will highlight the importance of monitoring and assessing patients to manage the risks associated with increased medication doses. Strategies such as opioid rotation and multimodal pain management will be discussed, along with the impact of psychological factors on pain perception.
