Abstract
Opioid and alcohol misuse was examined in 131 individuals prescribed opioids for chronic pain. In total, 35.9% were not misusing either, 22.9% were misusing both, 38.2% were misusing opioids, and 3.1% were misusing alcohol. Individuals not misusing either were generally less disabled and distressed compared to those misusing opioids or both.
