Abstract
In August the American Academy of Pediatrics released a report on how pediatricians can tell if children are “addicted” to opioids. We use the scare quotes because the report is not about addiction, which involves the behavior of seeking out drugs for reward, but about dependence, which occurs both in addiction and in therapeutic use of addictive medications – in this case, opioids.
