My special interest in Devon……. • has been the teaching of doctors for the development of substance misuse to be embedded throughout the entire medical undergraduate curriculum[ which is now being achieved by a national funded PMS substance misuse champion] • to provide post-graduate practical experience of primary and secondary care doctors in substance misuse , and the development of NMPs.
Tier 3 Services • GP-led substitute prescribing (“shared care”) • Specialist substitute prescribing & detoxification • Psychosocial interventions • (1:1 & group-drug workers)
Care Co-ordinator Service User DDS Support Worker GP Tier 3 Delivery Staff • Care co-ordinator • Support Worker & GP
Specialist Services • Focus on complex cases • Role to stabilise drug users with a view to moving on in treatment • Low threshold prescribing • Severe & enduring mental health issues alongside drug use • Inpatient stabilisation, detox and access to rehab
Primary Care (GP) Prescribing • Engage more GPs with primary care prescribing • Emphasis on throughput & needs-led treatment • Strengthened governance in shared care
Treatment Options Pathway for Service Users • Requiring Prescribing Intervention • Triage Assess • Comprehensive Assessment Specialist Prescribing Care coordinated intervention to include prescribing intervention and psychosocial packaged support. Tier 2 Harm reduction intervention needle and syringe provision preparation for change. Residential Rehab Shared Care Care coordinated intervention to include prescribing intervention and psychosocial package of support. Preparation for Residential Rehab Reviewed Client stabilised meets criteria for shared care. Client fails to stabilise – review and consider Low Threshold prescribing. Review if client requires prescribing intervention. Client reviewed on a regular basis by care coordinator and support worker. Drug screened and risk assessed. Discharged Complicated - complete prescribing needs or risk management issues requiring ongoing specialist prescribing intervention. Successful discharge client ends treatment. Client destabilises transfer to specialist prescriber until stabilised.

Working as a Team • Primary Care Partner cover • Primary Care Receptionist awareness • Back up of secondary care, if complexity increases after orange book strategies on improving engagement or managing risk do not succeed
Key clinical governance messages for on-going prescribing • Prescribe within an evidenced dose range • Risk awareness • Sedative overdose-BNZ &/or Alcohol • QT prolongation • Methadone dose-related • Concurrent ψtropic prescribing • Basic monitoring of non-collection • 3 days,>5 days • ψosocial engagement is necessary as well as a script is the message to clients • 3 monthly review • Stabilisation → Detoxification readiness
People do achieve abstinence Treatment evidence • DATOS: 28% of intake sample defined as ‘recovered’ 5 years after the start of the index treatment (no use of opioids or cocaine and no criminality) • Combining UK and US evidence: – 10-15% of treatment seekers achieve abstinence at 1 year – more than 25% by five years – 66% twelve years after initiating treatment
Does adding psychosocial therapy to OST improve outcomes? • Amato et al (2009): 28 trials and 2945 participants • No. of participants abstinent at the end of follow up (5 trials) and continuous weeks of abstinence (2 trials) showed a benefit in favour of the associated treatment • Psychosocial Treatment for Drug Misuse (NICE, 2008):evidence for – Contingency management for people in OST (strongly and consistently associated with longer, continuous periods of abstinence during treatment and abstinence at 6- and 12-month follow-up) – Behavioural-couples therapy and family-based interventions (associated with reductions in illicit drug use)
Does adding psychosocial therapy to OST improve outcomes? • Organisational Factors • Large differences in the treatments offered by individual services • DATOS showed many methadone programmes do not provide sufficient range or intensity of counselling to meet their patients’ needs • Big differences in the effectiveness of different treatment programs • Some services do a better job of engaging and retaining patients, and such services also show better gains in psychosocial functioning by their patients
