Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Persons being treated for chronic pain are a high-risk population for opioid addiction due to the potential for long-term opioid use and dependence. Personality disorders and conduct disorder may contribute to addiction risk but are not as directly related to opioid use as chronic pain treatment. While young adults may be vulnerable to addiction, they are not necessarily at higher risk than any other age group.
