Opioid Monitoring Program

The Opioid Monitoring Program is a system designed to track and oversee the prescription and use of opioid medications, which are strong painkillers. Its purpose is to prevent misuse, abuse, and addiction by ensuring opioids are prescribed responsibly. Healthcare providers and pharmacies report their activity to the program, allowing for close monitoring. This helps identify patterns that could indicate overuse or diversion, ensuring patients receive appropriate care while reducing the risk of opioid-related problems in the community.
