In recent years, the use and abuse of various harmful substances has increased considerably, including opioids, either by medical prescription or recreationally. This increase generates a population of patients that will require specialized attention at the moment of being hospitalized or when performing some surgical intervention. Anesthesiologists, surgeons and nurses should be familiar with the typical pharmacological phenomena of users. The use and abuse of substances can decrease the efficacy of opioids for the control of acute pain due to surgery, which is why strategies with multimodal analgesia including neuroaxial and regional techniques are recommended, which has shown better control of acute postoperative pain.

Palabras llave : Substance abuse; analgesia; acute pain; multimodal therapy.
