Chronic Pain

It is suggested that an estimated 50 million people suffer from chronic pain in America, or roughly, one out of every 5 people. These individuals have often seen multiple doctors and other clinicians in the hope of finding relief from unrelenting pain. These patients feel depressed and desperate, have often tried numerous prescription drugs, and are dysfunctional in their family life, social life or workplace. Chronic pain affects all aspects of a patient’s life as well as those who surround him or her.

At Okaloosa Mental Health And Psychiatric CenterPsychiatric Center, our goal is to return patients with chronic pain to an independent, optimal, and normal life. A comprehensive evaluation and treatment of chronic pain clinic begins with a consultation with our pain specialists. Based on this consultation, clinical, psychological and X-ray studies may be arranged to arrive at an accurate diagnosis. Upon diagnosis, the pain specialist will develop an appropriate treatment program which may consist of medications, rehabilitation, education, and counseling. In certain cases, treatment plans may include hospitalization for detoxification from addictive prescription drugs.
