  9. Primary Care Chris Echterling, M.D.

  10. Primary Care • Prescriber education (ex. CDC Guidelines) • Opioids are not first line treatment for chronic pain • Opioid agreements reflecting informed shared care plan • Opioid risks, securing medicine and disposal • Dependency vs Addiction • Monitoring for safety – urine drug tests • Prescription Drug Monitoring Program (PDMP)

  11. Scope of the problem 76 • suffer from chronic pain, more than diabetes, CAD and cancer combined million

  12. Primary Care CDC Guidelines • Opioids are not first line treatment for chronic pain • Focus on function, not pain • Shorter supplies for acute pain – then re-evaluate • Monitoring for safety (urine drug tests), NOT accusing • Prescription Drug Monitoring Program (PDMP) • Higher doses and drug interactions

  13. Primary Care Preventing diversion • Secure your meds – don’t temp those who are struggling • Dispose of left over meds – take back boxes or trash • Dependency vs Addiction

  14. Primary Care • Naloxone (Narcan) • Prevention • Survive accidental overdose (ill, child, confused) • Cannot recover if you are dead (“deadliest times” for those with substance use disorder) • Guidelines • Higher dose of opioids • History of addiction/overdose • You or a family member

  15. Medically Assisted Treatment Adam Lake, M.D.

  16. Medically Assisted Treatment • Addiction is a disease • The drug is not the problem Treatment works MAT works the best

  17. Medically Assisted Treatment • MAT = medication + therapy • No clear best type of or intensity of therapy (1-4) • Several options for the medication • Sources: • Dugosh K, Abraham A, Seymour B, McLoyd K, Chalk M, Festinger D.

  19. Medically Assisted Treatment • Methadone • Buprenorphine (tablet, film, implant) • Naltrexone (oral and long-acting injectable)

  20. Medically Assisted Treatment • Best treatment of addiction is medication + therapy • Better outcomes, fewer deaths • MAT is not “trading one addiction for another” • Many types of counseling can be effective • Several options for medications

  21. Chronic Pain Management Vitaly Gordin, M.D.

  22. Chronic Pain Management • Medical management • Interventional pain management procedures • Cognitive-behavioral therapy • Self directed home exercise program • Complimentary medicine • Acupuncture • Nutritional consult • Life style changes

  23. Chronic Pain Management: Medical Management • Nonopioid analgesics • Acetaminophen • NSAIDs • Adjuvant medications • Antidepressants, such as TCAs, SNRIs • Anticonvulsants, such as gabapentin, pregabalin, topiramate, carbamazepine, etc.

  24. Chronic Pain Management: Medical Management • Topical agents • Local anesthetics • Capsaicin • TCAs, NSAIDs, gabapentinoids • IV anesthetics: ketamine

  25. Chronic Pain Management: Medical Management • Opioid analgesics • CDC declared opioid induced deaths as a national epidemic • Doctors wrote 72.4 opioid prescriptions per 100 persons in 2006 • Decreased 4.9% annually from 2012 through 2016 • Reaching a rate of 66.5 per 100 persons in 2016. • A record number of drug overdose deaths occurred in 2015 • 52,404, prescription or illicit opioids were involved in 63.1% of these deaths

  26. Chronic Pain Management: Medical Management • Properly selected patients with findings on physical examination might benefit from chronic opioid therapy • Use screening tools • Opioid agreements • UDS (urine drug screen) • Pill count • PDMP • Doses higher than 90 MME are not recommended, but there are exceptions

Chronic Pain Management: Interventional Pain Management Procedures Spinal injections • Epidural steroid injections • Facet joint injections • Sacro-iliac joint injections • Radiofrequency ablation • Neuromodulation • Spinal cord stimulation • Dorsal root ganglion stimulation • Intrathecal therapies

  28. Mental Health/Co-occurring Daniel Hornyak, M.D.

  29. Mental Health/Co-occurring • 45% of Americans seeking treatment have dual diagnosis • Substance Abuse Disorder • Mental Health Illness • Substance Abuse Disorder • Criteria defined in DSM 5

  30. Mental Health/Co-occurring • Most Americans recognize mental health is a biological problem • Still don’t want someone with mental illness as a neighbor or friend • Many try to self medicate • “Honey, just have a drink, it will calm your nerves” • Marijuana use • Self medication can lead to abuse

  31. Mental Health/Co-occurring • Treated separate until 1990s • Sequential treatment was the norm • No longer a hard line between diagnoses or treatment • Integrated Approach now used • No single option for every combination • Must personalize

  32. Mental Health/Co-occurring • Begin treatment mental health disorder at the same time as substance abuse • You don’t know which came first • Combination therapy • Medications • Behavior Modification • Coping Mechanisms • Modification of traditional techniques

  33. Mental Health/Co-occurring • Early treatment is key • Integrated approach is necessary • Recovery occurs over months to years • Long term, community based approach is needed for success

  35. Pregnancy & Newborns Susan Peck, D.O.

  36. Pregnancy & Newborns • Opiate use in pregnancy increased 5 times in the last decade • Increase of NAS 5 times from 1.2 to 5.8 /1000 hospital births • Screening of pregnant women • Medically assisted treatment – methadone and buprenorphine • Medically assisted withdrawal during pregnancy

  37. Pregnancy & Newborns • Prenatal care • Peripartum pain management • Postpartum care • Post operative pain management for discharge

  38. Pregnancy & Newborns • NAS needs 3-5 days for evaluation - can be from MAT, narcotics or other psychoactive drugs • Screening needs to be universal • Keep mother and baby dyad together • Encourage breast feeding

  39. Pregnancy & Newborns Future needs for opioid use in pregnancy: Obstetric research with optimal screening, treatment and care and postpartum care and medically supervised withdrawal in pregnancy Neonatal focus: • Better scoring system that helps determine pharmacologic management • Optimal nonpharm and pharm approaches to management • Information on long term effects of MAT • Understand genetics and train multidisciplinary providers

  40. Emergency Medicine Greg S. Swartzentruber, M.D.

  41. Emergency Medicine: Perspective

  42. Emergency Medicine: The Problem • Many focus ED’s role as a pipeline for opioid prescriptions • EDs account for only 5% of opioids • ED physicians are low-risk providers • Contribute very little to opioids prescribed to patients with OUD

  43. Emergency Medicine: The Opportunity

  44. Emergency Medicine: The Warm Hand-Off • Evaluation by substance abuse specialist • Initiation of treatment • Direct referral to treatment

  45. Emergency Medicine: The Solution The ED: The Solution? • Screening, brief intervention, referral to treatment (SBIRT) • Screening, treatment initiation, and referral (STIR)
