According to the CDC, 91 Americans die from opioid overdoses every day, and prescriptions for opioids are involved in almost half of all opioid overdose deaths. Some states have adopted laws that designate certain medical practices that provide management services as pain management clinics and subject these clinics to extra regulation. This dataset focuses on state laws that regulate pain management clinics, clinic owners, and the physicians that work at the clinics.

This dataset is longitudinal, capturing laws from January 1, 2006 through June 1, 2018.
