Objectives • • • The Public Health Emergency What is the Opioid and Mental Health Concerns Work group? SUD-TBI Prevalence and Intersections Barriers to Treatment for TBI populations Highlight Missed opportunities Partnerships Models used to address the SUD continuum of Care
The Public Health Emergency In 2017 overdose-related deaths were 6 times higher than 1999 President Trump declared the Opioid Crisis a National Public Health emergency Five-point Strategy to combat the Opioid Crisis 1. Better Substance Use Disorder Prevention, Treatment and Recovery Services 2. Better Data 3. Better Pain Management 4. Better Targeting of Overdose Reversing Drugs 5. Better Research Source:
Grant $$ to Combat the Crisis Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) • Prescription Drug Overdose: Prevention for States (Pf. S) • Prescription Drug Overdose: Data-Driven Prevention Initiative (DDPI) • Enhanced State Opioid Overdose Surveillance (ESOOS) Health and Resource Services Administration (HRSA) • Expanding Access to Quality Substance Use Disorder and Mental Services • Behavioral Workforce Education and Training And Enhancing Behavioral Health Workforce awards • Rural Communities Opioid Response Program-Planning Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) • • • Medication Assisted Program - Prescription Drug And Opioid Addiction (MAT-PDOA) State Target Response to the Opioid Crisis Grants (Opioid-STR) Opioid State Target Response Supplement grant (STR Supplement) Opioid State Targeted Response Technical Assistance (STR TA) Partnerships for Success (PFS) First Responders - Comprehensive Addiction and Recovery Act (FR CARA)

Opioid Use and Mental Health Concerns Workgroup Traumatic Brain Injury State Partnership Program (TBISPP) 2018 -2021 Grant Cycle • Mentor States: Massachusetts and Virginia (participation from Indiana) • Partner States: Kentucky, Maryland North Carolina “The mission of the ACL - Opioid Use and Mental Health Concerns workgroup is to identify and share best practices across states with regard to addressing the intersections between substance use-related disorders, mental health and brain injuries. This will be accomplished by developing and widely-sharing tools related to that goal. ”
Substance Use-Related Disorders (SUD)
Diagnostic and Statistical Manual-V Clinical Criteria: Substance Use Disorder Based on a problematic pattern of use of the substance with clinical significant distress or impairment (at least two symptoms in a 12 month period) • • • Impaired control Social impairment Risky Use Pharmacological criteria Determination of severity ACL WORKGROUP FOCUS – Alcohol, Drugs, and Prescription Use and Misuse
Impairs Initiation + + Marijuana ? + + Heroin and Other Opioids + + Depression, Anxiety, Psychosis Increased Likelihood of Risky Behavior/ Legal Problems + Increased Health Risks (e. g. Major Organ Function) Impaired Memory and New Learning + Higher Risk of Additional Brain Injury(s) Impairs Balance / Coordination + Increases Seizure Risk Slows Brain Cell Repair and Growth Substance Alcohol + + ? + + + Research is ongoing and more is known on the impact of alcohol and opioids at this time than marijuana.
Substance Use Related Disorder Brain Injuries 5. 8 Million 16. 4 Million Dual SUD-MH 2. 6 Million Mental Health Concerns 7. 7 Million
TBI OPIOIDS Substance Use Disorder Prevalence ALCOHOL In Relation to Brain Injury (2017) 11. 4 M People currently misuse prescription opioids Leading substance used Falls is the leading cause of death for old and young 153 Die every day of TBI 1. 7 M Diagnosed with an OUD - Prescription Pain ILLICIT DRUGS Reliever Use MENTAL HEALTH 0. 7 M Diagnosed with an OUD – Heroin Use 7. 7 M Mental health disorder only 130+ die every day from Opioid-Related Overdose Top 3 ways prescriptions are accessed – Friend, Family, Prescriber Accidental overdose leading cause death for under 4. 1 Million – 50 Marijuana years olduse Dx 140. 6 M Current alcohol users 12. 2 M Alcohol use disorder only 2. 6 M Co-occurring SUD and MH disorder 2. 8 M Sustained a TBI annually 3. 4 Million – Other illicit drugs Disability post-overdose use Dx Chronic Pain, SUD, Mental Illness are common co-occurring disorder survival 3. 2 M people made Suicidal plans 2. 3 M Alcohol and Illicit Drug disorder
Brain Injury (BI)
Acquired Brain Injuries An ABI is an insult to the brain that has occurred after birth and is not hereditary or congenital Acquired Brain Injury (ABI) Non-Traumatic Brain Injury (ABI) No External Force • Strokes, Aneurisms • • Tumors, Cancer Meningitis, HIV Anoxia Hypoxia Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) External Force • • Falls, Motor Vehicle Accidents Sports, Recreational Activities Work Related Accidents Assaults, Military Combat
Non-Fatal Overdoses Overdose event where the person is revived • Naloxone Suppressed breathing and heart rate • Shallow breaths OR Not breathing • Loss of consciousness may occur Time sensitive emergency • 3 -6 minutes irreversible brain damage Overdose survivors can sustain various injuries • Hypoxic Injury – NOT ENOUGH oxygen flow to the brain • Anoxic injury – NO oxygen flow to the brain • TBI – Increase risk of Fall during overdose event
Consequences of Non-Fatal Overdoses Oxygen deprivation impacts Thinking skills: • Memory • Attention • Ability to learning to NEW information • Problem Solve • Ability to manage our emotions • Lability • Impulsivity • Irritability • Apathy Residuals effects of non-fatal overdoses not yet studied
Acquired Brain Injuries Continued… Brain Injury can result in a chronic disability that may • Worsen with age • Complicate pre-existing/co-morbid condition(s) • Increase risk of sustaining additional brain injuries • Further decline functioning with every SUBSEQUENT injury
Intersections: SUD and Brain Injuries
SUD-TBI Risks: Bidirectional Relationship Substance Use Disorder (SUD) • Sustain initial TBI • Sustain repeated BI • Post-TBI alcohol use susceptible to OUD • Post-TBI mental illness susceptible to SUD • Chronic pain post-TBI susceptible to OUD • Non-Fatal Opioid overdose is risk of sustaining an anoxic, hypoxic injuries and/or TBI • Post TBI increase seizure risk Substan ce Use Disorde r Mental Illness (MI) • Sustain a TBI • Develop SUD • Develop OUD Brain Injury (BI) Mental Illness • • 3 -8 x risk of repeated BI Develop mental illness 2 -4 x Risk of suicide Develop SUD/OUD TBI with co-occurring conditions are 11 x more likely to die of accidental poising from drug or alcohol
Intersecting Problems PHYSICAL • Dizziness • Fatigue • Headache • Coordination • Visual deficits • Auditory impairments • Seizure Disorders risk • Sleep Disturbances COGNITIVE • • • Communication Issues Poor Concentration Disorientation Memory Problems Poor Organization Slow Processing Speeds Poor Initiative Lack Follow Through Poor Judgement Problem solving BEHAVIORAL • Anger • Anxiety • Depression • Unawareness • Confabulation • Perseveration • Irritability • Personality Changes • Inability to Control Emotions
Challenges to Engagement Resulting from TBI Families & Caregiver • Can feel trapped, isolated, abandoned • Can become be targets of abuse by survivor • Can be annoyed and impatient with survivor Service Providers • May end services pre-maturely if survivors are viewed (labeled) as resistant, aggressive, disinterested, not motivated, lazy, or non-compliant. • Survivors can overtime burn bridges with service providers • Patience, accommodating symptoms of TBI and connecting to brain injury services can help
