207 Implementing a Biopsychosocial Model to Address Chronic Pain and Mental Health
Description

This study highlights the need for an integrated, biopsychosocial approach to chronic pain management in correctional settings. Current fragmented models often overlook the link between chronic pain and mental health. By prioritizing multidisciplinary care, including cognitive-behavioral and physical therapy, rather than opioid-based treatment, correctional systems can reduce dependency risks, improve mental health outcomes, and align care with community standards.
