characterize• Examples– airplane glue (epoxies)– Freon (“freebies”)– carbon tetrachloride– amyl & butyl nitrite– nitrous oxide– propellant (spraypaint)
![Page 14: SBIRT: What It Is and How to Start Doing It](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062501/56816950550346895de0f277/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)

• ~ 400,000 deaths each year from health consequences of tobacco– Lung disease– Heart disease– Cancer
• Cigarettes, cigars, pipes• Smokeless
– “snuff,” “chew,” snus• Electronic cigarettes
![Page 18: SBIRT: What It Is and How to Start Doing It](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062501/56816950550346895de0f277/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Models of addiction
• Disease• Genetic• Self-medication• Moral/volitional
![Page 19: SBIRT: What It Is and How to Start Doing It](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062501/56816950550346895de0f277/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Disease Model
• Biologic basis• Chronic course– Relapses and remissions– No cure– Like other chronic diseases
• Treatable– Individualize therapy– Medications may help improve outcomes
![Page 20: SBIRT: What It Is and How to Start Doing It](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062501/56816950550346895de0f277/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Picking your parents
“Your DNA test shows you’re predisposed to sue doctors.”
• Liability for Substance Use Disorders (SUD) aggregates in families– Twin studies– Adoption studies– Genetic factors
• Genetic factors play an important role in alcohol and illicit drug use
![Page 21: SBIRT: What It Is and How to Start Doing It](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062501/56816950550346895de0f277/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Self-medication
• Use of mood-altering substance is to ameliorate underlying negative psychiatric symptoms– Stimulants for
depression– Alcohol or heroin for
anxiety
![Page 22: SBIRT: What It Is and How to Start Doing It](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062501/56816950550346895de0f277/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Moral/Volitional Model
• Personal choice• Weak willpower• Moral failing• Research doesn’t
support this model
![Page 23: SBIRT: What It Is and How to Start Doing It](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062501/56816950550346895de0f277/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Vulnerable Populations
• Adolescents• Elderly• Psychiatric Co-Morbidity
![Page 24: SBIRT: What It Is and How to Start Doing It](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062501/56816950550346895de0f277/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Addiction is an equal opportunity disease
• Erroneous stereotypes• All social strata• All races
– different susceptibilities
• All age groups
• 10% of population have problems due to substance abuse
![Page 25: SBIRT: What It Is and How to Start Doing It](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062501/56816950550346895de0f277/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Epidemiology in Adolescents
• Youthful experimentation is common– Experimental: use <6 times– Most teens use drugs or alcohol occasionally without
consequences– 80% of high school students have used alcohol
• Problem behavior– 55% of youth have tried an illegal drug by 12th grade– 35% of 12th graders binge drink at least once a month– 4% of adolescents drink daily– 13% of adolescents smoke ½ pack/day
![Page 26: SBIRT: What It Is and How to Start Doing It](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062501/56816950550346895de0f277/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
The Age Wave is cresting
• First ‘Baby Boomers’ just turned 65
• This generation used illicit drugs in youth
• Continue to use their drugs into older adulthood
• Different from previous generations
![Page 27: SBIRT: What It Is and How to Start Doing It](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062501/56816950550346895de0f277/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Sensitivity to alcohol with age
• Older adults more sensitive to alcohol– Reduced total body
water• Higher concentrations
– Reduced metabolism in GI tract
• Amount with little effect in youth causes intoxication in older adults
![Page 28: SBIRT: What It Is and How to Start Doing It](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062501/56816950550346895de0f277/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Psychiatric Co-Morbidity• Higher risk for
substance use among those with psychiatric disorders– Depression or anxiety
disorders– Other psychiatric
comorbidities– Personality disorders
• May present with complex clinical histories and symptoms– Diagnosis challenging– Intoxication and withdrawal
symptoms may be mistaken for other psychiatric or medical symptoms
• Cognitive-behavioral counseling more challenging
![Page 29: SBIRT: What It Is and How to Start Doing It](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062501/56816950550346895de0f277/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Dual Diagnosis
• Best success with treatment of both conditions simultaneously
• Contact with health care system is opportunity to intervene– Earlier detection and
intervention prevents problems
![Page 30: SBIRT: What It Is and How to Start Doing It](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062501/56816950550346895de0f277/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Clinicians often have difficulty identifying addicted patients
• Don’t think/don’t ask about it• May not be obvious from a single visit• Patients may be unable to admit the
problem to themselves• Patients may try to conceal it
![Page 31: SBIRT: What It Is and How to Start Doing It](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062501/56816950550346895de0f277/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Impact on Healthcare Providers
• Medication misuse causes adverse health consequences for patient
• Worsens prognosis of coexisting medical and/or psychiatric conditions
• Significant proportion of practice is dealing with consequences of unrecognized/untreated addiction
• Leads to practitioner frustration
![Page 32: SBIRT: What It Is and How to Start Doing It](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062501/56816950550346895de0f277/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Why screen patientsfor addiction?
• Medical problems– Cardiovascular disease– Stroke– Cancer
• Mental health– Depression– Anxiety– Sleep problems
• Financial difficulties• Legal problems• Interpersonal problems– Family issues
![Page 33: SBIRT: What It Is and How to Start Doing It](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062501/56816950550346895de0f277/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Screening makes a difference
• Patients reduce alcohol and tobacco use when this is addressed by a physician
• Research shows benefits from screening and brief intervention for illicit and prescription drug abuse
![Page 34: SBIRT: What It Is and How to Start Doing It](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062501/56816950550346895de0f277/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Screening Tool forAlcohol Abuse
• CAGE Questions– Cut down– Annoyed– Guilty– Eye-opener
• Affirmative response to 2 or more is positive test
![Page 35: SBIRT: What It Is and How to Start Doing It](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062501/56816950550346895de0f277/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
APA 2000
Diagnosis ofAlcohol Abuse/Dependence
• Continued substance use despite adverse consequences
• Use in larger amounts or for longer periods than intended
• Preoccupation with acquiring or using• Inability to cut down, stop, or stay stopped, resulting
in a relapse• Use of multiple substances of abuse
![Page 36: SBIRT: What It Is and How to Start Doing It](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062501/56816950550346895de0f277/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
NIAAA 2005
Drinking Guidelines• Men:– 2 standard drinks/day– No more than 14
drinks per week– No more than 5 drinks
on any one occasion• Women:– 1 standard drink/day– No more than 7 drinks
per week– No more than 5 drinks
on any one occasion
![Page 37: SBIRT: What It Is and How to Start Doing It](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062501/56816950550346895de0f277/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Types of treatment
• Detoxification• 12-Step groups• Outpatient
counseling• Intensive outpatient• Inpatient• Residential
![Page 38: SBIRT: What It Is and How to Start Doing It](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062501/56816950550346895de0f277/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
12-Step Groups
• A.A., N.A., C.A.• Group format• Anonymous• No cost• No affiliations or
endorsement• Different groups have
different characteristics
![Page 39: SBIRT: What It Is and How to Start Doing It](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062501/56816950550346895de0f277/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Success with 12-Step
• More groups=more abstinence
• No threshold, but at least 2 meetings/week best
• Not affected by– Gender– Religion– Psychiatric diagnosis– Novice
![Page 40: SBIRT: What It Is and How to Start Doing It](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062501/56816950550346895de0f277/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Addiction Counseling
• Motivational Interviewing
• Network therapy• Family therapy• Supportive
psychotherapy• Building Social
Networks
• Twelve-Step facilitation• Perceptual Adjustment
Therapy• Rational Recovery• Medication
Management• Brief Intervention
![Page 41: SBIRT: What It Is and How to Start Doing It](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062501/56816950550346895de0f277/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Treatment Matching
• Engage patients with addiction by matching to optimal setting and modalities for most effective and least restrictive level of care
• Base matching on– Intoxication and withdrawal– Medical complications, psychiatric factors– Treatment acceptance/resistance– Relapse potential, recovery environment
![Page 42: SBIRT: What It Is and How to Start Doing It](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062501/56816950550346895de0f277/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
Treatment works• Sustained remission rates
of up to 60%– Better success than
treatment of hypertension, diabetes
• Every $1 spent on treatment saves $7 in costs to society
• Lots of new research
![Page 43: SBIRT: What It Is and How to Start Doing It](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062501/56816950550346895de0f277/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
Patient Behavior
• Ambivalence– Attracted to problem
behavior (substance use)• Denial– Unable to admit
problem to themselves– Actively conceal
• Common to many chronic conditions
![Page 44: SBIRT: What It Is and How to Start Doing It](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062501/56816950550346895de0f277/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
Motivation
• Probability of certain behaviors
• State of readiness to change• May fluctuate from one
situation to another• Clinician’s goal is to increase
the patient’s intrinsic motivation– change arises from within
rather than being imposed from without
![Page 45: SBIRT: What It Is and How to Start Doing It](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062501/56816950550346895de0f277/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
Weaver & Cotter 1998
Brief Intervention• Motivate patients to
change problem behavior
• Multiple brief sessions• Bridge to treatment or
sufficient itself• Same impact as more
extensive counseling• Most cost effective
![Page 46: SBIRT: What It Is and How to Start Doing It](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062501/56816950550346895de0f277/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
Summary• 10% of population has problems of addiction• Different classes of drugs have different effects, from type
of euphoria to side effects to withdrawal syndromes• Addiction is a complex chronic disease with genetic and
environmental factors• Patients reduce substance abuse when this is addressed by
a physician• Recognition, diagnosis, and referral for treatment improves
patient outcomes• Screen for substance abuse in all patients, avoid
stereotyping• Addiction treatment is effective and cost-effective• Brief intervention techniques help motivate patients to
make healthier lifestyle changes
![Page 47: SBIRT: What It Is and How to Start Doing It](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062501/56816950550346895de0f277/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)

Cases for Group Discussion
![Page 49: SBIRT: What It Is and How to Start Doing It](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062501/56816950550346895de0f277/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
Objectives
• Stages of Change• The 5 “A’s”• Elements of Brief Intervention• Practice Cases
![Page 50: SBIRT: What It Is and How to Start Doing It](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062501/56816950550346895de0f277/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
Stages of Change
• Precontemplation• Contemplation• Preparation• Action• Maintenance
![Page 51: SBIRT: What It Is and How to Start Doing It](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062501/56816950550346895de0f277/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
Precontemplation
• No intention to change behavior for the foreseeable future (at least in the next 6 months)
• Unaware that they have a problem • Resistance to recognizing or modifying a
problem
![Page 52: SBIRT: What It Is and How to Start Doing It](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062501/56816950550346895de0f277/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)
Contemplation
• Aware that a problem exists– seriously thinking about overcoming problem– not yet made a commitment to take action
• Seriously considering changing the behavior in the next 6 months
• Weighing of the pros and cons of the problem and the solution to the problem
• Facilitation– Provide feedback (history, problems, labs, etc.)
![Page 53: SBIRT: What It Is and How to Start Doing It](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062501/56816950550346895de0f277/html5/thumbnails/53.jpg)
Preparation• Planning to change behavior– intending to take action in the next month– have unsuccessfully taken action in the past year
• May have made some reductions in problem behavior
• Not yet reached a criterion for effective action– Not yet abstinent from illicit drugs
• Looking for advice– Provide menu of choices
![Page 54: SBIRT: What It Is and How to Start Doing It](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062501/56816950550346895de0f277/html5/thumbnails/54.jpg)
Action
• Modifying behavior, experiences, or environment to overcome problems– considerable commitment of time and energy– successfully altered behavior for 1 day to 6
months• Facilitation– Provide encouragement– Assist to identify barriers and solutions
![Page 55: SBIRT: What It Is and How to Start Doing It](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062501/56816950550346895de0f277/html5/thumbnails/55.jpg)
Maintenance
• Working to prevent relapse and consolidate gains attained during Action stage
• Extends from 6 months to an indeterminate period past the initial action, including a lifetime
• Hallmarks– stabilizing behavior change– avoiding relapse
![Page 56: SBIRT: What It Is and How to Start Doing It](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062501/56816950550346895de0f277/html5/thumbnails/56.jpg)
Recycling• Most people taking action to modify their behavior
do not successfully maintain their gains on the first attempt
• Recycle through the Stages of Change several times before termination of the problem behavior
• During relapse, individuals regress to an earlier stage, but not usually all the way back to where they began
• Number of successes continues to increase gradually over time
![Page 57: SBIRT: What It Is and How to Start Doing It](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062501/56816950550346895de0f277/html5/thumbnails/57.jpg)
The 5 “A’s”
• ASK about alcohol and drug use• ADVISE all patients to quit• ASSESS willingness to change• ASSIST patients in quitting• ARRANGE for follow-up
![Page 58: SBIRT: What It Is and How to Start Doing It](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062501/56816950550346895de0f277/html5/thumbnails/58.jpg)
ASK about alcohol and drug use
• Have you ever used– Tobacco products– Caffeinated beverages– Alcohol– OTC drugs of abuse– Prescription drugs of
abuse– Illicit drugs
• When did it begin?• How often?• How much?• When was the last use?
![Page 59: SBIRT: What It Is and How to Start Doing It](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062501/56816950550346895de0f277/html5/thumbnails/59.jpg)
ADVISE all patients to quit
• A strong recommendation to change substance use is essential
