Highlights of the Chronic Pain & Addiction Treatment

We know the toll chronic pain can take on your life. Approximately 116 million Americans suffer from chronic or recurrent pain, and, depending on a variety of factors, as many as 40% of those may become addicted to the medication prescribed to treat it. Not surprisingly, many also experience depression and anxiety.

With specialists credentialed in addiction medicine, family medicine, head and neck surgery, and integrative holistic medicine, Caron experts address your chronic pain and treat your substance use disorder.

Located at Caron Pennsylvania, the Chronic Pain & Addiction Treatment Program has strong staff-to-patient ratios. Our treatment team adheres to high-quality clinical excellence and uses evidence-based medical interventions. Backed by nearly 70 years of treating substance use disorder and process addictions, we help you work toward lifelong recovery.

How to manage chronic pain

Chronic pain is managed through combinations of education, therapy, and medical treatment. Group and individual therapy for coping with pain can also be beneficial, as can spiritual counseling. Holistic treatments like acupuncture and massage can supplement medical treatments, which may include medications, Alpha-Stim electrotherapy, or transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS).

How to treat chronic pain

Caron’s chronic pain treatments include medication management, mobility accommodation, detox services, psychological therapy, the 12-steps, spiritual counseling, and holistic therapies such as massage and acupuncture. Other pain treatments include Alpha-Stim therapy and transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS). Individual and group counseling, along with education about coping with pain, are also offered and are effective for pain management.
