Excellent article Amanda, thank you. I wasn't aware Suboxone was prescribed for chronic pain off-label by providers. I will add that primary care and Emergency Room physicians among others (MD, DO, NP, mid-wife(?) can now prescribe Buprenorphine if they take an 8 hour 'X-Wavier" class which then permits the provider to prescribe buprenorphine for chronic pain.
