Pain Relief Shouldn't Be A Crime

We speak the truth the media ignores; pain patients are being abandoned, forced off opioids, and ignored. We provide the education, resources, and community they need to fight back, and we support the providers willing to stand with them.

What We Do:

Start Here – You’re Not Alone

If you’ve just been cut off from pain medication, denied care, or abandoned by your provider, you’re not alone. We will help you understand why this is happening, what your rights are, and what you can do right now to protect yourself & fight back.

Media & Recognition

We understand the devastating impact that forced medication tapering, treatment termination, and stigma can have on individuals living with chronic pain. With millions of people across the U.S. suffering in silence, our work focuses on giving patients a voice and providing the resources and support necessary for accessing appropriate pain relief.

We believe in patient-centered care, transparency, and ethical practices. That’s why we partner with healthcare providers to advocate for better policies and push for reforms that protect the rights of pain patients while ensuring safe and responsible prescribing practices.
