Opioids and the Military

Format: Clinical Tool
Over 40% of the U.S. infantry reported chronic pain (defined as pain lasting over 3 months) after deployment, and 15% reported opioid use in the past month. [1] Like the civilian population, prescription opioid misuse is a concern for military personnel. The military has responded to this issue by implementing medication treatment for opioid use disorder (MOUD) in VA facilities. Historically, MOUD at the VA has been prescribed only through substance use disorder clinics and did not reach Veterans who were not seen in these clinics.
