In an effort to combat the opioid crisis, states like California, Florida, and Texas have implemented regulations that require doctors to consult a database before prescribing painkillers. This database allows healthcare providers to track patients' prescription history and identify those who may be at risk for addiction or overdose.
By mandating this consultation process, these states are aiming to ensure that patients receive appropriate and safe treatment for their pain management needs. This measure is part of a larger strategy to prevent the misuse and abuse of prescription opioids, which have contributed to a significant increase in overdose deaths in recent years.
