Tapering Opioid Use Safely

When it’s time for you to stop taking your opioid medication, you need to do it safely. If you’ve only been using your medication for a brief time, your doctor may say it’s OK to stop suddenly. But if you’ve used it for longer, your doctor may say you need to stop gradually to let your body adjust. We call this “tapering.”
