Treating Drug Dependence
Learning Objectives
• Discuss assessment of substance use disorder severity and readiness to change.
• List several principles that characterize effective substance use disorder treatment.
• Discuss the role of comorbidity in the treatment of substance use disorder and co-
occurring mental health disorders.
• Discuss pharmacological and behavioral strategies to treat substance use disorder.
• Describe the Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act.
• Discuss Screening, Brief Intervention, and Referral to Treatment (SBIRT).
• Discuss the success of online support groups meetings, especially during the
COVID-19 epidemic.
• Describe a typical admission to a drug rehab center.
Treatment of Substance Use Disorder
• Substance use disorder (SUD) affects individuals from various backgrounds.
Many face treatment challenges due to their occupational, social, psychiatric, or
other medical issues. The severity of SUD varies, necessitating personalized
treatment approaches. Early intervention with the least restrictive appropriate
treatment is crucial. To achieve this, treatment providers must assess the severity
, of SUD, as well as the individual's readiness and motivation to change their
behavior.
Assessing Substance Use Disorder Severity and Readiness to Change
• Assessing the severity of substance use disorder (SUD) and readiness to change
involves various methods, with the American Society of Addiction Medicine
(ASAM) criteria being a widely used, evidence-based, systematic approach. The
ASAM criteria consider six dimensions:
▪ Acute intoxication and/or withdrawal potential
▪ Biomedical conditions and complications
▪ Emotional, behavioral, or cognitive conditions and complications
▪ Readiness to change
▪ Relapse, continued use, or continued problem potential
▪ Recovery and living environment
• Prioritizing these issues often follows Maslow's hierarchy of needs, addressing
fundamental needs (e.g., health problems, medication adherence, physical
alterations) before higher needs (e.g., security, mental health management, safety,
and legal issues).
• Readiness to change is crucial in treatment planning, involving stages identified
by DiClemente and Prochaska: precontemplation, contemplation, preparation,
action, and maintenance. Understanding an individual's stage of change helps
tailor treatment plans and overcome ambivalence towards accepting and engaging
in care and comprehensive treatment plan.
