Using narcotic drugs
Description
Using narcotic drugs involves the administration or consumption of substances that act on the central nervous system to relieve pain, induce sleep, or alter mood and perception. This strategy is primarily employed for medical pain management, palliative care, and anesthesia, aiming to alleviate severe suffering when other treatments are ineffective. Effective use requires strict regulation, monitoring, and education to minimize risks of addiction, misuse, and illegal diversion, ensuring patient safety and public health.
