Opiate Addiction and the Dually Diagnosed Consumer: Organizational Capability Presented by: Christina Delos Reyes, MD Patrick Boyle, LISW-S, LICDC The Center for Evidence Based Practices Case Western Reserve University Cleveland, Ohio the CEBP is a partnership between the Mandel School of Applied Social Sciences and the Department of Psychiatry, CWRU School of Medicine, Case Western Reserve University in collaboration with the Ohio Departments of Mental Health and Alcohol Dependence and Addiction Services
Learning objectives • Describe interacting symptoms of typical co-morbid diagnoses • Describe the essential components for organizational capability in the delivery of integrated co-occurring disorders • Identify one’s organizational stage of development for essential components
Substance abuse is common in people with mental illness • Over 50% of people with schizophrenia, bipolar disorder and other severe mood disorders have a substance use disorder at some time in their life • About one third of people with anxiety and depressive disorders have a substance use disorder at some time in their life
Prevalence and Incidence of Dual Disorders • In 2010, an estimated 4.9 million adult Americans met criteria for both severe mental illness (SMI) and substance dependence or abuse in the prior year • 25-35% of people with SMI have an active substance abuse problem. • Substance abuse among people with SMI has greater than three times the incidence as those in the general population • About 50% of the people with severe mental illness will have a lifetime substance abuse disorder • Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration. (2012). Overview of the findings from National Household Survey on Drug Use and Health. (Office of Applied Studies, NSDUH Series H-27, DHHS Publication No. 05-4061). Rockville, MD.
Mental illness is common in individuals with drug dependence • Many studies lump “all illicit drugs” into 1 category, so it is often very difficult to isolate just “opiate dependence” • Compton et al. (2000) studied 425 individuals with drug dependence (excluding alcohol and tobacco): • 64% had alcohol dependence • 44% had antisocial personality • 39% had phobic disorders • 24% had major depression • 12% had dysthymia • 10% had generalized anxiety disorder
Opiate Dependence and Comorbidity • Benningfield et al 2010: studied mental illness in pregnant women with opiate dependence (n=174) • 64.6% screened + for 1 or more psych disorders (48.6% mood symptoms, 40.0% anxiety symptoms, and 12.6% suicidal thinking) within the last 30 days • Jaffe et al 1998: studied OA (opiate addiction) in a SPMI (severe and persistent mental illness) population • 43 patients had both OA/SPMI and 297 had SPMI only • significantly fewer opiate-addicted patients were diagnosed with schizophrenia (26% vs. 52%)
Additional Information from SAMHSA • 73 % of persons with a drug dependence disorder in substance abuse treatment had a co-occurring mental disorder at some point during their lifetime • In substance abuse settings, very common to see: • Antisocial personality disorder • Major Depressive Disorder (and other mood disorders) • Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder • SOURCE: “The Epidemiology of Co-Occurring Substance Use and Mental Disorders.” COCE Overview Paper 8. DHHS Publication No. (SMA) 07-4308. Rockville, MD: Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, and Center for Mental Health Services, 2007.
Additional Information from NIDA • Both drug use disorders and other mental illnesses are caused by overlapping factors such as underlying brain deficits, genetic vulnerabilities, and/or early exposure to stress or trauma. • Early drug use increases later risk (for BOTH mental illness and substance use disorders). • Mood and anxiety disorder rates are doubled in those with drug use disorders • SOURCE: NIDA Research Reports: Comorbidity: Addiction and Other Mental Illnesses; NIH Pub Number: 10-5771; Published: December 2008; Revised: September 2010
Traditional Treatment • Treat each disorder separately May be parallel or sequential • Parallel • Treating the disorders at the same time however in different organizations, departments, or with different clinicians • Sequential • Treating the disorders one at a time – based on ? Separate treatment is less effective
Traditional Treatment • People with MI often lack genuine access to AOD programs Not admitted Prematurely discharged • People with AOD issues lack genuine access to MH programs Not screened, assessed or diagnosed properly Implication that the consumer fails, not the treatment
Problems With Separate Mental Illness And Substance Abuse Treatments • Different eligibility requirements • Trouble accessing both services • Primary/secondary distinction • Different treatment approaches • Variable clinical expertise and focus • Lack of integration
Integrated Care Strategies Dual Disorder Capability for Addiction Treatment DDCAT Index http://www.centerforebp.case.edu/practices/sami/ddc Dual Disorder Capability for Mental Health Treatment DDCMHT Index Integrated Dual Disorder Treatment/IDDT IDDT Fidelity Scales
Dual Diagnosis Capability Index Development Practical program level policy, practice and workforce benchmarks Based on scientific literature and expert consensus Observational methodology Staff interviews; milieu observation; Document review (clinical record, policies, curricula) Iterative process of measure refinement: Field testing and psychometric analyses Materials Index, manual, toolkit & Excel workbook for scoring and graphic profiles
The Basic Change Paradigm • Why change? • What is in it for me as a stakeholder? • How to change? • How is the practice implemented? • How to sustain the practice? • What structures need to be modified?
Exploring Program Capability • What client needs are important for organizations and systems to address over the next 1-5 years in order to become co-occurring capable? • Discussion • What outcomes do you want to improve? • Discussion • Challenges, barriers, facilitators, resources, processes? • Discussion

DDCAT/MHT Specific Objectives • To objectively determine the dual diagnosis capability of addiction treatment and/or mental health services. • To develop practical operational benchmarks or guidelines for enhancing dual diagnosis capability. • To provide a useful quality improvement tool for organizational change pertinent to co-occurring disorders (COD).
DDCAT/CMHT Index • 7 domains • Subdivided into 35 Program elements • Utilizes taxonomy of Patient Placement Criteria Second Edition Revised outlined by American Society of Addiction Medicine (ASAM)
DDCAT/CMHT Index Measures • Presence or absence of benchmark • Relative frequency Variable vs. Routine, systematic and standardized “Percentage of…”
Continuum of Co-occurring Capability • Addiction Only Services/Mental Health Only Services • Dual Diagnosis Capable • Dual Diagnosis Enhanced 1 2 3 4 5
Addiction Only Services (AOS)Mental Health Only Services (MHOS) AOS reflects programs whose mission and treatment focus are primarily services to individuals with substance-related disorders. MHOS reflects programs whose mission and treatment focus are primarily services to individuals with mental health-related disorders.
Dual Diagnosis Capable (DDC) DDCAT Programs that have some capacity to provide services for both disorders, however there is greater capacity to serve individuals with substance-related disorders. DDCMHT Programs that have some capacity to provide services for both disorders, however there is greater capacity to serve individuals with mental health-related disorders.
Dual Diagnosis Enhanced (DDE) Programs that: • Are capable of providing services to any individual with substance-related and mental health-related disorders. • Can be responsive to both types of disorders fully and equally.
Dual Diagnosis Capability – Index Domains • Program Structure • Program Milieu • Clinical Process: Assessment • Clinical Process: Treatment • Continuity of Care • Staffing • Training
I. Program Structure A. Mission statement Programs that offer treatment for individuals with co-occurring disorders (COD) should have this philosophy reflected in their Mission Statement B.
