Defining Co-occurring Disorders

How do you define co-occurring disorders?

Co-occurring disorders - when a person has a substance use disorder and mental health disorder at the same time.

PM 13

Defining Co-morbidity

How do you define co-morbidity?

Co-morbidity - two or more disorders are present at the same time and they interact in ways that affect the course and/or prognosis of each disorder.

Setting the Context

• Currently very little research on co-occurring disorders (COD)and tobacco dependence.

• Tobacco treatment is effective for wide range of people, including those with mental health (MHD) and substance use disorders (SUD).

• What is known about tobacco users with a MHD or SUD, may be applicable for COD

National and NYS Data

PM 20

National Data:

• 50 - 75% of SUD patients have MHD • 25 - 50% of MHD patients have SUD

(Center for Substance Abuse Treatment, 2005)

NYS Chemical Dependence Programs:

• 23% - 46% of SUD patients have MHD, rates varies by modality

(Office of Alcoholism and Substance Abuse Services, 2008)

PM 21 - 23

Tobacco and Co-occurring Disorders

Knowledge Activity

29

1. Average Rate of Tobacco Smoking

Studies vary as to each disorder and people with some disorders have smoking rates up to 80 - 90%.

70%

About 70% of people with a mental health disorder (MHD) and/or a substance use disorder (SUD), also smoke tobacco.

PM 24

30

2. Percentage of Cigarettes Consumed

About half of allcigarettes consumed in the US are bypeople with MHDand/or SUD.

Results in significant illness, death, and health disparity for two vulnerable populations.

44-46%

PM 24

31

3. Average Reduced Life Span

Primary cause of death is cardiovascular disease (CVD) and diabetes. #1 cause of CVD is tobacco smoke and tobacco is a

key factor in onset of diabetes.

25 years!

The average lifespan in US is 77.8 years.

For smokers with MHD or SUD, this life span is reduced by 32%.

32%

PM 24

32

4. Average percent of monthly income spent on tobacco

Average percentage of monthly income spent on tobacco

27%

Averages about $142 per month based upon 2000 - 2002 costs.

PM 25

33

5. Daily smoking can predict suicidal thinking and attempts

Facts !

Increased suicide thinking and attempts even considering a prior history of depression, substance

use disorder, and prior suicide attempts.

Increased risk of suicide for people with bipolar illness and schizophrenia.

PM 25

34

6. Heavy smoking can be a predictor of suicide risk and completion

Facts !

Increased suicide completion rates for tobacco using adolescents and greater number of attempts,

especially for females

Heavy tobacco smoking is highly associated with increased suicide completion

PM 26

35

7. Nicotine causes cancer and CVD

Facts !

Nicotine is not a carcinogen and is not a major risk factor of cardiovascular disease (CVD).

Tobacco smoke is the disease-causing agent.

PM 26

36

8. Nicotine can affect metabolism of psychiatric medications

Facts !

Nicotine does not affect the metabolism of medications.

Tobacco smoke induces the liver to increase the metabolism rate of some psychiatric and some non-psychiatric medications.

PM 26

37

9. Stopping smoking requires an increase in psychiatric medications

Facts !

Many people can stop without changes in medication levels.

Some may require lower doses to avoid medication toxicity (i.e., clozapine, olanzepine) or to avoid increased side effects (i.e., amitriptyline, nortriptyline, and imipramine).

See Table 1 - Common Drugs Affected by Tobacco Smoke

PM 27

38

10. Use of tobacco increases anxiety

Facts!

Increased feelings of general anxiety from using tobacco.

Patients often confuse nicotine withdrawal symptoms with primary anxiety symptoms of MHD or SUD.

Many mistakenly assume using tobacco causes their general anxiety symptoms to stop.

PM 28

39

11. Stopping tobacco leads to panic attacks, and smoking reduces panic attacks and panic disorder

Facts !

Tobacco use is a significant risk factor for panic disorder, agoraphobia, and generalized anxiety disorder (GAD).

Also refer back to answer in Statement 10.

PM 28

40

12. Most people with MHD or SUD are not interested in stopping tobacco use

Facts !

70% expressed an interest in stopping in the past year.

People with MHDs and/or SUDs express an interest in stopping tobacco use as often as smokers in the general population.

PM 28

41

13. Most people with MHD or SUD cannot stop using tobacco

Facts ! Many can stop and need more frequent treatment, more

intense treatment, and more engagement.

No increased problems after stopping and recent research shows MH symptoms decrease after tobacco abstinence.

PM 29

42

14. Chantix reduces the effects of some psychiatric medications

Facts !

About 92% of Chantix is eliminated unchanged from body by kidneys.

Chantix has no drug-to-drug interactions.

PM 29

43

15. Smoking increases MHD/SUD risk

Facts!

Tobacco is a common “gateway drug” for AOD use

Smoking increases risk for mental illness and doubles the risk for major depression when used in adolescence.

Adolescent tobacco use associated with increased adult risk for panic disorder, anxiety disorder, agoraphobia, depression, suicidal behavior, SUD, and schizophrenia.

PM 30

44

15. Smoking increases MHD/SUD risk, cont’d

Facts !

Active psychiatric disorders are associated with daily smoking and progression to dependence.

Risk of major depression in women who smoke is increased 93%.

46

Biopsychosocial Approach to Substance Dependence

Tobacco dependence is a biopsychosocial disease

PM 31

47

Neurobiological Factors and Neuro-chemical Effects of Tobacco/Nicotine

PM 32 - 33

• Various genes are involved for first tobacco use, risk of dependence, withdrawal severity, and inability to stop using.

• Different neurotransmitters are affected by nicotine and likely by other chemicals in tobacco smoke.

• Nicotine provides some short-term benefits, but tobacco use aggravates MHDs and SUDs.

48

Other Factors Affecting Tobacco Use

PM 34 - 35

• Psychological

• Behavioral

• Social

• Treatment / Recovery

• Large System (Tobacco Industry, Media, etc).

Discussion

What are the common factors between tobacco dependence, substance use disorders, and mental health disorders?

PM 40 - 41

54

Summary

All have common chemical pathways affecting the brain

All are chronic, biopsychosocial diseases

The disorders negatively interact and result in co-morbid conditions

Treatment using medication, behavioral, psychoeducation, and supportive therapies

Recovery is possible and requires lifestyle changes

Studies

Tobacco Treatment Review

• First Line Tobacco Medications – OTC (patch, gum, lozenge)– Prescription (inhaler and nasal spray) – Chantix – Bupropion

• Second Line Tobacco Medications – Nortriptyline – Clonidine

PM 44

57

Tobacco Treatment Review, cont’d

• Nicotine medications are well-tested and have high margin of safety.

• Tobacco medications often used incorrectly, not often enough, or doses used are too low. – As a result when people have withdrawal symptoms, they

think the medications don’t work and/or stop using them.

• Some people need higher doses of nicotine medications and/or long-term medication.

PM 45 - 47

58

Tobacco Treatment Review, cont’d

PM 48

• Combinations of two or more medications works work better than a single medication.

• MI, CBT, and RPT are effective first line methods.

• Medication plus counseling is more effective, than either alone.

• Peer counseling and peer support may be helpful.

59

Important Reminders

• Tobacco dependence is a biopsychosocial disease that aggravates and complicates SUDs and MHDs

• People with COD often need more engagement, andlonger and more frequent treatment

• Not addressing tobacco use for all patients sends an unhealthy and wrong message

PM 49

60

Case Studies

• Three cases studies

• Read the assigned case

• Answer the questions related to that case

Discussion of Case Study Questions

63

Summary

Tobacco dependence treatment for people with MHD or COD is not different from other populations

Often requires higher intensity and frequency of treatment episodes, and often more engagement

Tobacco treatment medications are important to use along with counseling, psychoeducation, and supportive

therapies

Anticipate possible need to modify medication dosage PM 58
