Pain Management is a widely used pain treatment modality. The typical protocol utilized in many outpatient Pain Management Clinics is opioid narcotic pain medication. Painkillers can be quite effective in temporarily diminishing pain, but for many, there is a risk of developing chemical dependency or even addiction. Over time, with some patients, the amount of opioid pain medication is increased, providing initial pain relief, but not prolonged pain resolution. In these situations, the dose continues to escalate with continued unrelenting pain and decreasing function. Essentially, in many pain management settings, there is not a long-term solution beyond medication increases and surgical procedures.

Pain Recovery is a proven pain treatment alternative to pain management. It gives the individual the opportunity to detoxify their bodies from narcotics and develop a real-world plan to reduce and deal with chronic pain. This is accomplished by treating not just the identified physical pain, but uncovering and treating the associated emotional suffering. By treating the physical pain as well as the emotional aspect of pain, a person can develop a sustainable long-term solution to his or her chronic pain.

The LVRC setting provides a community environment where clients have/share similar experiences and expectations and experience improvement over the course of their stay at Las Vegas Recovery Center. This enables a new client to compare and contrast his or her experience and to positively project a future without medications and with less pain. It is important that you explore the possibility of addiction during your participation in the Chronic Pain Treatment Program. This comes in the form of educational addiction groups, twelve-step modalities, and assessments during the program.

Individuals respond to rewards, and it is our clinical policy, through the use of well-utilized cognitive behavioral therapy techniques, to help the client reframe his or her experience of chronic pain and suffering. Clients are rewarded for increased function by each and every staff member in the center. The pain treatment program is based on the workbook, Pain Recovery: How to Find Balance and Reduce Suffering from Chronic Pain (Central Recovery Press), which was written by accredited practitioners who are also staff members.
