    The document discusses clinical guidelines for opioid use from 2003 that promoted opioids as an effective treatment for chronic pain and downplayed the risks of addiction. It notes these guidelines described addiction concerns as barriers to care and claimed repeated opioid exposure rarely causes addiction. However, these claims have been contradicted by more recent research showing high risks of addiction, overdose, and death from long-term opioid use.
