The Risk-Benefit Framework:Judge the Treatment, not the Patient INAPPROPRIATE • Is the patient good or bad? • Does the patient deserve pain meds? • Should this patient be punished or rewarded? • Should I trust him/her? APPROPRIATE Do the benefits of this treatment outweigh the untoward effects and risks in this patient or to society?
What Is the Addiction Risk? Published rates of abuse and/or addiction in chronic pain populations are 3-19%1 Suggests that known risk factors for abuse or addiction in the general population would be good predictors for problematic prescription opioid use Past cocaine use, history of alcohol or cannabis use2 Lifetime history of substance use disorder3 Family history of substance abuse, a history of legal problems and drug and alcohol abuse4 Heavy tobacco use5 History of severe depression or anxiety5 1 Fishbain et al.

When Are Opioids Indicated? Pain is moderate to severe Pain has significant impact on function Pain has significant impact on quality of life Non-opioid pharmacotherapy has been tried and failed Patient agreeable to close monitoring of opioid use (e.g., pill counts, urine screens)
Opioid Efficacy in Chronic Pain Pain relief modest Some statistically significant, others trend toward benefit One meta-analysis decrease of 14 points on 100 point scale Limited or no functional improvement Most literature surveys & uncontrolled case series Randomized clinical trials (RCTs) are short duration < 4 months with small sample sizes < 300 pts Mostly pharmaceutical-company sponsored Balantyne JC, Mao, J.

FAX CESAR November 19, 2012 Vol. 21, Issue 46 A Weekly FAX from the Center for Substance Abuse Research U n i v e r s i t y o f M a r y l a n d , C o l l e g e P a r k Alcohol Reported as Primary Substance of Abuse in 62% of Veterans’ Treatment Admissions There were nearly 58,000 admissions of veterans to substance abuse treatment facilities in 2010, according to the most recent data from the Treatment Episode Data Set (TEDS). TEDS, a database of treatment admissions to primarily publicly-funded substance abuse treatment facilities, excludes admissions to Veterans Affairs (VA) facilities. Therefore, the veteran admissions in TEDS represent veterans who chose to seek substance abuse treatment in a non-VA facility.* While alcohol was most likely to be reported as the primary substance of abuse among veterans and nonveterans alike, veterans were much more likely than nonveterans to report alcohol as their primary substance of abuse (62% vs. 42%). Veterans were less likely than nonveterans to report marijuana (7% vs. 15%) or heroin (8% vs. 16%) as their primary substance of abuse. No other substance besides alcohol was reported by more than 10% of veterans as a primary substance of abuse, suggesting that use prevention, intervention, and treatment programs for military personnel and veterans should focus their resources on alcohol. Primary Substance of Abuse in Treatment Admissions Ages 18 and Older, by Veteran Status, 2010 (N=57,934) *It is possible that veterans receiving treatment from VA treatment facilities may have a different pattern of primary substances of abuse than those found in TEDS. NOTES: A veteran is defined by TEDS as a person 16 years or over who has served (even for a short time), but is not now serving, on active duty in the US Army, Navy, Marine Corps, Coast Guard, or Commissioned Corps of the US Public Health Service or National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, or who served as a Merchant Marine seaman during World War II. Persons who served in the National Guard or Military Reserves are classified as veterans only if they were ever called or ordered to active duty, not counting the 4-6 months for initial training or yearly summer camps.
