Education

Patients are playing a more active role in their own healthcare these days. At QVL, we believe informed patients can be better advocates for themselves. Learn more about general pain management as well as specific chronic conditions at the following websites. We suggest these sites be used for additional information and to help you understand your condition along with your doctor, not for self-diagnosis.

Long-term use of controlled medications carries the risk of potential abuse. If you or a loved one have any concerns about addiction or drug abuse there are many resources available to you, from general information about the disease of addiction to specific information on centers and treatments. Please seek help from a qualified physician or addiction center immediately if you feel that you may be suffering from addiction.
