(Newswire.net — July 2, 2013) Las Vegas, NV — Nevada Comprehensive Pain Center and Dr. Alain Coppel, are pleased to announce that pain medicine addiction therapy is available to Las Vegas residents who are in need of help fighting the addictive results of using pharmaceuticals for therapy against pain. The professionals at the center for addiction therapy in Las Vegas indicate that addiction to narcotic pain medication is unlikely, but there are steps taken to avoid using narcotics at levels that could cause problems.
According to Dr. Coppel, “It is highly unlikely to become addicted to narcotic pain medication. There is a very small sub-set of patients who will unfortunately become addicted to these medications just as with any other vice, whether it would be tobacco, alcohol, gambling or other things. We keep a very close eye on patients.”
“We use low dose medications in our practice” he continues. “We don’t believe in high dose medications. By keeping a close eye on patients, by using other treatment modalities such as the therapies, injections and surgeries and by using the low dose medications, we are able to diminish the amount of risk factors someone has to develop an addiction to these medications.”
Instead of relying upon only one therapeutic approach, the Center strives to avoid the need for addiction therapy in Las Vegas by offering alternatives. In fact, there are three additional commonly used modes of therapy. These are conservative therapies, which incorporate chiropractic therapy, physical therapy, deep ultrasound, yoga and Pilates. The second type is use of non-addictive, non-habit forming, non-opiate medications like anti-inflammatories, muscle relaxers and anti neuropathic medications. The quickest relief can come from interventional procedures and they can be given towards any area of the body for any type of pathology that can be contributing to the chronic pain and finally, there are more invasive things like surgery.
