IMPORTANT CONCEPTS • Drug addiction is a disease • Addiction is a primary, chronic disease of brain reward, motivation, memory and related circuitry. Dysfunction in these circuits leads to characteristic biological, psychological, social and spiritual manifestations. This is reflected in an individual pathologically pursuing reward and/or relief by substance use and other behaviors. • Addiction is characterized by inability to consistently abstain, impairment in behavioral control, craving, diminished recognition of significant problems with one’s behaviors and interpersonal relationships, and a dysfunctional emotional response. Like other chronic diseases, addiction often involves cycles of relapse and remission. Without treatment or engagement in recovery activities, addiction is progressive and can result in disability or premature death. • Not a character flaw
IMPORTANT CONCEPTS RISK FACTORS FOR ADDICTION • Addiction is not inevitable depends on a number of factors • Genetic • Biological factors • Age at first use • Psychological (personality) • Environmental factors (availability, family and peer dynamics, financial resources, cultural norms, stress, access to social support) • Higher risk • Co-occurring mental health problems • Genetic and molecular factors • Early life adverse events • Drug misuse in adolescence
FFR 1. 11 NUMBERS OF PAST MONTH ILLICIT DRUG USERS AMONG PEOPLE AGED 12 OR OLDER: 2017 Note: Estimated numbers of people refer to people aged 12 or older in the civilian, noninstitutionalized population in the United States. The numbers do not sum to the total population of the United States because the population for NSDUH does not include people aged 11 years or younger, people with no fixed household address (e. g. , homeless or transient people not in shelters), active-duty military personnel, and residents of institutional group quarters, such as correctional facilities, nursing homes, mental institutions, and long-term care hospitals. Note: The estimated numbers of current users of different illicit drugs are not mutually exclusive because people could have used or misused more than one type of illicit drug in the past month.

PATTERNS OF DRUG USE • Use • Sporadic consumption with no apparent consequences • Misuse • Sporadic or more frequent use, some consequences experienced by user • Physical dependence • Drug class-specific withdrawal syndrome produced by abrupt cessation or rapid dose reduction or by administration of an antagonist • Psychological dependence • Subjective sense of need, for positive effects or to avoid negative effects of abstinence • Addiction • Primary, chronic, neurobiologic disease. Characterized by impaired control over drug use, compulsive use, continued use despite harm, and craving

PRINCIPLES OF SCREENING • Ask everyone! (“It is the standard of care that we ask all women about their history of medication, alcohol and tobacco use. ” “We ask these questions of everyone. ”) • Ask in private • Non-judgmental • Open-ended questions

CRITERIA FOR DIAGNOSING SUBSTANCE USE DISORDERS: DSM V • Increasing tolerance • Withdrawal symptoms • Using larger amounts or for longer than intended • Wanting to cut down or stop, but not managing to • Spending a lot of time to get, use or recover from drug use • Craving • Inability to manage commitments due to drug use < 2 = no disorder 2 -3 = mild disorder 4 -5 = moderate disorder > 6 = severe disorder • Continuing to use, even when it causes problems in relationships • Giving up important activities because of drug use • Continuing to use, even in dangerous situations • Continuing to use, even when physical or psychological problems may be made worse by drug use
BRIEF INTERVENTION Increase intrinsic motivation to affect behavioral change (reduce or stop drug use)
BRIEF INTERVENTION • 1 -5 patient-centered counseling sessions • Lasting < 15 minutes • Uses principles of motivational interviewing

NUTRITIONAL CONCERNS FOR SUBSTANCE USE IN PREGNANCY • Active addiction associated with poor quality diet • BMI • Vitamin deficiency (thiamine, vitamin D, B 12, folic acid) • Iron deficiency • Dental issues • Inflammatory state (immune function) • Recovery • Weight gain and obesity • Persistent of poor eating habits
REFERRAL FOR TREATMENT Provide to those identified to be at high risk (SUD) who are in need of specialty addiction care
REFERRAL FOR TREATMENT Behavioral therapy (chemical dependency treatment) MAT (now MT for OUD) Buprenorphine Methadone
BEHAVIORAL INTERVENTIONS FOR SUD • Contingency management (CM). Systematically use reinforcement techniques, usually monetary vouchers • Originally use for cocaine. Now for opioids, MJ, tobacco, alcohol, benzodiazepines, other • Motivational Interviewing (MI) • Patient-centered, collaborative, highly empathic counseling style to elicit behavior change • Helps patients explore and resolve ambivalence • Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) • Strategies to help patients understand situations that bring about undesirable thoughts, feelings or behaviors (to then avoid when possible) • Goal to break old patterns and replace with new ones Forray A.

• Key screening conclusion by expert group • Screening for substance use should be done on all pregnant women at first prenatal visit and subsequently throughout pregnancy for those at high risk • Screening can be done using a validated instrument with follow-up by provider or by asking standardized questions during interview • Nonjudgmental • Open-ended questions • Urine toxicology should not be used in place of substance use screening questions Wright TE, Terplan M, Ondersma SJ, et al.
