Opioid addiction and pain can coexist at the end of life. Clinicians approved for schedule II prescribing by their DEA license can prescribe any schedule II drug in the inpatient and outpatient settings for pain and symptom relief, even if the patient is enrolled in an opioid maintenance program. Clinicians are strongly advised to seek specialist help in these situations (from both pain and addiction specialists) as well as to work collaboratively with the patient’s treatment program.
