Core Tip	Regional blocks and multimodal analgesia reduce perioperative opioid use while preserving effective pain control. These approaches benefit surgical patients at high risk of opioid misuse including those with psychiatric illness. Evidence specific to psychiatric populations remains limited and optimal strategies should be tailored to the psychiatric profile surgical context and long term risk of dependence.
