3
Rates of Lifetime Substance Use Disorder (SUD)
among Recently Admitted Psychiatric Inpatients (N
325) (Mueser et al., 2000)
4
Factors Influencing Prevalence of Substance Use
Disorders Client Characteristics
  • Higher Rates
  • Males
  • Younger
  • Lower education
  • Single or never married
  • Good premorbid functioning
  • History of childhood conduct disorder
  • Antisocial personality disorder
  • Higher affective symptoms
  • Family history SUD

5
Factors Influencing Prevalence of Substance Use
Disorders Sampling Location
  • Higher Rates
  • Emergency rooms
  • Acute psychiatric hospitals
  • Jails
  • Homeless
  • Urban setting (drugs)
  • Rural setting (alcohol)

6
Clinical Epidemiology
  • 1. Rates higher for people in treatment
  • 2. Approximately 50 lifetime, 25-35 current
    substance misuse
  • 3. Rates are higher in acute care,
  • institutional, shelter, and emergency
  • settings
  • 4. Substance misuse is often missed in
  • mental health settings

7
Why Focus on Dual Disorders?
  • 1. Substance misuse is the most common concurrent
    disorder in persons with SMI
  • 2. Significant negative outcomes related to
  • substance abuse
  • a) Clinical relapse rehospitalization
  • b) Demoralization
  • c) Family stress
  • d) Violent behavior

8
  • e) Incarceration
  • f) Homelessness
  • g) Suicide
  • h) Medical illness
  • i) Infections diseases
  • j) Early mortality
  • 3. Outcomes improve when substance misuse remits
  • 4. Poor treatment is expensive for families
    society

9
Poor Outcomes of People with Mental Illness in
Addiction Treatment Settings
  • Higher rates of drop out from treatment
  • Addiction to more substances
  • More problems in legal, social, functional,
    medical outcomes
  • Higher relapse rates into addiction
  • Lower utilization of self-help groups

10
Major Subgroups of Comorbid Clients
  • Severely mentally ill - psychotic
  • Frequently abuse moderate amounts of substances
  • Small amounts of substance use trigger negative
    consequences
  • Anxiety and/or depression
  • Substance use can cause or worsen symptoms

11
  • Frequently misuse moderate to high amounts of
    substances
  • Personality Disorders
  • Antisocial borderline most common
  • Frequently abuse high amounts of substances

12
Reasons for High Comorbidity Rates of Severe
Mental Illness and Substance Misuse
  • Berksons Fallacy
  • Self-medication
  • Super-sensitivity to effects of alcohol drugs
  • Socialization motives
  • Acceptance
  • Peer pressure
  • Facilitates interactions/intimacy

13
  • Common factors for mental illness and substance
    misuse
  • Poverty/deprivation
  • Neurocognitive impairment
  • Conduct disorder/antisocial personality disorder

14
  • Self-Medication
  • More symptomatic clients dont misuse more
    substances
  • Substance selection unrelated to type of symptoms
    experienced
  • Types of substances misused unrelated to
    psychiatric diagnosis
  • Self-medication may contribute to maintaining
    substance misuse, but probably doesnt explain
    high rates

15
  • Super-sensitivity Model
  • Biological sensitivity increases vulnerability to
    effects of substances
  • Smaller amounts of substances result in problems
  • Normal substance use is problematic for clients
    with SMI but not in general population
  • Sensitivity to substances, rather than high
    amounts of use, makes many clients with mental
    illness different from general population

  • Support for Super-sensitivity Model
  • Clients with concurrent disorders are less likely
    to develop physical dependence on substances
  • Standard measures of substance misuse are less
    sensitive in clients with SMI
  • Clients are more sensitive to effects of small
    amounts of substances
  • Few clients are able to sustain moderate use
    without impairment
  • Super-sensitivity accounts for some increased
    comorbidity

20
Treatment Barriers
  • Historical division of services and training
  • Sequential and parallel treatments
  • Organizational and categorical funding barriers
    in the public sector
  • Eligibility limits, benefit limits, and payment
    limits in the private sector
  • Primary/secondary distinction

21
Primary/Secondary Distinction
  • Often difficult or impossible to make, even with
    extensive observation
  • Delays treatment of one disorder
  • Is used to shift responsibility from one service
    to another
  • Best to assume that both disorders are primary
    until proven otherwise

22
Integrated Treatment
  • Mental health and substance abuse treatment
  • Delivered concurrently
  • By the same team or group of clinicians
  • Within the same program
  • The burden of integration is on the clinicians

23
Other Features of Dual Disorder Programs
  • No wrong door
  • Comprehensive services
  • Minimization of treatment-related stress
  • Harm reduction philosophy
  • Motivational enhancement (e.g., stages of change,
    stages of treatment)

24
No Wrong Door
  • Multiple doors to services exist in systems
  • Substance abuse or mental health services
    accessed through entry to system via multiple
    doors
  • Referrals to different services stigmatize
    other disorder decrease chances of engagement
  • No referrals to other service providers
    consultation/collaboration needed

25
Services Provided
  • Comprehensive assessment and monitoring of mental
    health substance abuse
  • Concurrent treatment of dual disorders
  • Coordination collaboration among treatment
    staff
  • Teamwork among treatment providers recognition
    of staff expertise

26
Promises of a No Wrong Door Policy
  • Successful engagement of most clients in
    treatment
  • Systematic assessment of mental health
    substance abuse disorders
  • Uniform record keeping
  • No need to follow up on referrals
  • More effective treatment of concurrent disorders,
    leading to fewer relapses, hospitalizations,
    detoxifications, etc.
  • Cost savings

27
Challenges of a No Wrong Door Policy
  • Need for comprehensive undifferentiated
    training of all clinicians
  • How to integrate care while maintaining specialty
    foci?
  • Formation of integrated treatment teams
    clinicians from same service or different
    services?
  • Fear of loss of professional identity
  • Turf issues concern over funding streams that
    target specific disorders
  • Need for treatment guidelines to address specific
    dual disorders

28
What are the Stages of Treatment?
  1. Based on the stages of change Pre-contemplation,
    contemplation, preparation, action, maintenance
  2. Stages of treatment Engagement, persuasion,
    active treatment, relapse prevention
  3. Not linear progress forward, relapses back
  4. Stage of treatment determines primary goal
  5. Goals determine interventions
  6. Multiple options at each stage

29
Overview of Assessment of Substance Abuse in
Clients with Severe Mental Illness
30
Detection
  • Goal To identify clients who may be experiencing
    problems related to substance use
  • Strategies
  • 1. Maintain a high index of suspicion
  • 2. Explore past history of substance abuse first
  • 3. Be aware of clients characteristics related
  • to substance abuse (age, sex, antisocial
  • personality, etc.)

31
  • 4. Use laboratory tests
  • 5. Carefully monitor clients who use but do not
    misuse substances
  • 6. Use self-report screens for substance abuse
  • 7. Evaluate clients for common
  • consequences of substance abuse
  • in SMI

32
Common Consequences of Substance Abuse in SMI
  • Relapse re-hospitalization
  • Financial problems
  • Family burden
  • Housing instability homelessness
  • Non-compliance with treatment
  • Violence
  • Suicide
  • Legal problems
  • Prostitution
  • Health problems
  • Infectious disease risky behaviors

33
Classification
  • Goal To determine whether client meets criteria
    for a substance use disorder
  • Strategies
  • 1. Use Clinician Rating Scales for Alcohol
  • and Drug Use
  • 2. Base ratings on multiple sources of
  • information
  • Client self-reports

34
  • Clinician observations
  • Reports of other treatment providers
  • Reports of significant others
  • Records, laboratory tests
  • 3. Make rating every 6 months
  • 4. Rate based on the worst period over the
  • past 6 months
  • 5. Stick to the evidence -- dont assume
  • consequences of substance abuse
  • 6. Gather additional information when
  • necessary

35
Clinician Rating Scales
  • 1. Abstinent
  • 2. Use without impairment
  • 3. Abuse
  • 4. Dependence
  • 5. Dependence with institutionalization

36
Substance Use Disorders(Based on DSM Series)
  • Substance Abuse
  • A pattern of substance use resulting in
    significant problems in the areas of social or
    psychological functioning, work, health, or use
    in dangerous situations
  • Substance Dependence
  • The use of substances that results in development
    of the dependence syndrome

37
  • Psychological Dependence
  • Use of more substance than intended, unsuccessful
    attempts to cut down, giving up important
    activities to use substances, or spending lots of
    time obtaining substances
  • Physical Dependence
  • Development of tolerance to effects of substance,
    withdrawal symptoms following cessation of
    substance use, use of substance to decrease
    withdrawal symptoms

38
Functional Assessment
  • Goals To understand clients functioning across
    different domains to gather information about
    substance use behavior
  • Domains of Functioning
  • 1. Psychiatric disorder
  • 2. Physical health
  • 3. Psychosocial adjustment (family social
  • relationships, leisure, work, education,
  • finances, legal problems, spirituality)

39
  • Dimensions of Substance Misuse
  • 1. 6-Month Time-Line Follow-Back Calendar
  • 2. Substances misused route of use
  • 3. Patterns of use
  • 4. Situations in which use occurs
  • 5. Reported motives for use
  • Social
  • Coping
  • Recreational
  • Structure/sense of purpose
  • 6. Consequences of use

40
Social Factors for Substance Use
  • Does consumer have non-substance using peers?
  • Is substance use serving to maintain a
    pre-existing social network?
  • Is substance use facilitating social contacts
    with a new social network?
  • Can person resist offers to use substances?
  • Is the person lonely?

41
Common Symptoms Self-Medication
  • Depression, suicidal thoughts
  • Anxiety, nervousness, tension
  • Hallucinations
  • Delusions of reference paranoia
  • Sleep disturbance

42
Recreational/Leisure Substance Use
  • Boredom/relaxation as motivation for using
    substances
  • What does the client do for fun?
  • Hobbies, sports?
  • What is persons involvement with others in
    recreational activities?
  • Does the person not participate in activities
    which he/she previously did?

43
Other Motivating Factors for Using Substances
  • Escape from unpleasant memories of psychosis
    (sealing over)
  • Increased unstructured time due to dropout from
    school or not working
  • Demoralization due to shattering of personal
    goals assault on self-esteem
  • Ready access to money through family, disability
    income
  • Normal rebelliousness of delayed
    adolescence/early adulthood

44
Functional Analysis
  • Goal To identify factors which influence or
    control substance use behavior
  • Constructing a Payoff Matrix
  • 1. List advantages disadvantages of using
  • substances, advantages disadvantages of not
    using
  • 2. Use all available information from functional
  • assessment
  • 3. Consider advantages disadvantages from the
  • clients perspective
  • 4. View different reasons listed as hypotheses
    about maintaining factors, not established facts
    reasons may change as new information emerges
  • 5. If client is using, the pros of using cons
    of
  • not using should outweigh the pros of not
  • using cons of using

  • Persistent psychotic symptoms
  • Time spent in jail
  • Acknowledged past setbacks while remaining
    positive about possible change
  • Review examples of clients achievements in other
    areas

66
Rationale for Group-Based Treatment for Clients
with Co-Occurring Disorders
  • Substance abuse frequently occurs in a social
    context
  • Opportunity for social support
  • Development of a new, healthier social networks
  • More economical than individual treatment
  • Greater variety of feedback to clients
  • Modeling available from clients who have
    progressed to later stages of treatment

67
Common Themes of Group Treatments for
Co-Occurring Disorders
  • Education about effects of substance abuse
  • Non-confrontational
  • Avoidance of high levels of negative affect in
    group
  • Fostering social support between group members
  • Encouraging attendance at self-help groups for
    substance abuse
  • Addressing problems related to mental illness

68
Different Models of Group Intervention for Dual
Disorders
  • 12-Step
  • Education/supportive
  • Social skills training
  • Stage-wise
  • Persuasion groups
  • Active treatment groups

69
Problems with Self-Help Groups
  • Sponsorship
  • Spirituality and delusions
  • Abstract concepts
  • Inability to relate to losses
  • Early stages of treatment
  • Poor social skills
  • Paranoia
  • Medication as a drug

70
Self-Help Approach
  • Present as one option
  • Go meeting shopping
  • Dont forget about the mental illness
  • If it doesnt work, dont push it

71
Persuasion Groups
  • Primarily for persuasion stage
  • Keep short (or take a break)
  • Co-facilitated
  • Open format
  • Non-confrontational
  • Recurrent use common
  • Refreshments

72
Persuasion Groups
  • Peer role models
  • Self-help materials not useful
  • Psychoeducation about substance abuse mental
    illness
  • Weekly meetings
  • Use of hospitalizations, trouble with the law,
    etc.

73
Persuasion Groups
  • Group Guidelines
  • Confidentiality
  • Alcohol drug use
  • Active psychosis
  • No disruptive behavior
  • Member check-in

74
Persuasion Groups
  • Topics
  • Guest speakers
  • Genograms
  • War stories
  • Skills training
  • Printed materials

75
Active Treatment Groups
  • Stages of active treatment/relapse prevention
  • Co-facilitated
  • Weekly meetings
  • More confrontational
  • Peer role models
  • Self-help materials helpful

76
Active Treatment Groups
  • Topics
  • Triggers high risk situations
  • Skills training, anger management, assertiveness,
    coping, etc.
  • Relaxation imagery
  • Stress management

77
Social Skills Training Groups
  • Primary goal is to teach new skills, not foster
    insight
  • Multiple training sessions conducted weekly
  • Sessions conducted by 2 leaders following
    pre-planned curriculum
  • Planned generalization of skills into clients
    natural environment

78
Stage-wise Skills Training
  • Appropriate at all stages of treatment
  • Early stages (engagement, persuasion) focus on
    motives for using substances
  • Later stages (active tx., relapse prevention)
    also address high risk situations, including
    refusal skills

79
Motives for Substance Use and Relevant Skills
  • Socialization conversational skills, making
    friends
  • Leisure recreation developing new recreational
    activities
  • Coping expressing negative feelings, cognitive
    restructuring to address anxiety depression

80
High Risk Situations
  • Offers to use at a party
  • Running into a former dealer
  • Feeling depressed or anxious
  • Invitation to use with boy/girlfriend
  • Money or paycheck in pocket

81
When to Use Stage-wise or Skills Training Groups
  • Both can be useful encourage clients to try both
    types
  • Stage-wise groups more abstract, process oriented
  • Skills training groups more concrete, easier for
    clients with cognitive impairments

82
Why is Family Work with Dual Disorders Important ?
  • Many DD clients have contact with family members
    who provide support and assistance
  • Caregiving burden is increased when clients have
    DD
  • Loss of family support is a major contributor to
    housing instability and homelessness in DD
    clients

83
  • Relatives may unintentionally encourage substance
    abuse in DD clients
  • DD clients and their relatives often know little
    about mental illness and substance use
    interactions
  • Family intervention is effective for both
    disorders

84
Combined Results of Family Intervention Programs
on 2-Year Cumulative Relapse Rates in
Schizophrenia (11 Studies)
85
Goals of Family Intervention for DD
  • Educate family members about mental illness,
    substance abuse, and their treatment
  • Increase coping skills for all family members
  • Increase social support
  • Decrease burden of care on family members
  • Decrease stress on clients
  • Decrease substance use
  • Improve client functioning
  • Decrease hospitalizations homelessness

86
Overview of Intervention
  • Two treatment modalities
  • Behavioral Family Therapy (BFT) (time-limited)
  • Multiple-family groups (time-unlimited)
  • BFT for psychoeducation, communication skills,
    problem solving skills
  • Multiple-family groups for additional
    psychoeducation social support
  • BFT precedes multiple-family groups
  • Clients relatives involved in all sessions

87
Goals of BFT
  • To establish a working alliance between the
    treatment team family
  • To provide education to family members about
    mental illness, substance abuse, the their
    treatment
  • To enhance family coping through
  • Improved communication
  • Teaching problem solving skills

88
Format of BFT
  • Individual family sessions
  • Relatives clients included
  • Open door policy for reluctant participants
  • One hour sessions
  • Sessions conducted on a declining contact basis
  • Treatment is long-term, not short-term
  • Focus is on learning new information skills,
    not fostering insight

89
Phases of BFT
  • Phase of BFT Client Stage of Sessions
    Treatment
  • 1. Connecting Engagement 1-3
  • 2. Assessment Engagement 2-5
  • 3. Psychoeducation Persuasion or 6-8
  • active treatment
  • 4. Communication Persuasion, active 1-6
  • skills training treatment, or relapse
  • prevention
  • 5. Problem-solving Persuasion, active
    5-15 treatment, or relapse
    prevention
  • 6. Termination Active treatment or 1
  • relapse prevention

90
Engaging the Family
  • Be respectful, non-judgmental, empathic
  • Explain you want to help family members become
    members of the treatment team
  • Describe goals of family program as education,
    reducing relapses, helping client independence
  • Allow relatives to vent tell their story

91
Assessment of the Family
  • For Each Family Member
  • What do they understand about the disorders?
  • What are their short-term goals?
  • What are their long-term goals?
  • What interferes with obtaining their goals?
  • For the Family as a Unit
  • What are their strengths and weaknesses?
  • What deficits do they have in communication
    skills?
  • What deficits do they have in problem solving
    skills?

92
Principles of Psychoeducation
  • Education is interactive
  • Use multiple teaching aids
  • Connote client as the expert
  • Elicit relatives experience understanding
  • Avoid conflict confrontation
  • Education is a long-term process
  • Evaluate understanding
  • Review materials as often as possible

93
Educational Topics
  • Schizophrenia/schizoaffective/bipolar
  • Medications
  • Stress-vulnerability
  • Role of the family
  • Basic facts about alcohol drugs
  • Alcohol drugs Motives consequences
  • Alcohol drugs Treatment
  • Infectious diseases
  • Communication skills

94
Communication Skills
  • Communication mental illness
  • Improving communication
  • Get to the point
  • Keep communications focused
  • Speak clearly
  • Use feeling statements
  • Speak only for yourself
  • Focus on behavior

95
Communication Skills
  • Other Communication
  • Listening
  • Eye Contact
  • Voice Tone
  • Facial Expression
  • Key Communication Skills

96
Communication Problems That Warrant Skills
Training
  • Frequent fights (loud voice tone, anger, strong
    irritability that derails family work)
  • Pejorative put-downs
  • Snide, sarcastic, caustic comments
  • Lack of verbal reinforcement between members
  • Difficulty being specific when talking about
    feelings and behavior

97
Problem Solving
  • 1. Define the Problem
  • 2. Brainstorm
  • 3. Evaluate Solutions
  • 4. Choose Best Solution or Combination
  • 5. Plan on How to Implement Solution
  • 6. Follow up Plan

98
Format of Problem Solving
  • Chairman leads family through steps of problem
    solving
  • Secretary records problems solving efforts
  • Focus is on getting all members input AND
    sticking to steps of problem solving
  • If at first you dont succeed, problem solve
    again
  • Always schedule a follow-up meeting

99
Examples of Topics for Family Problem-Solving
  • Identify alternative socialization outlets
  • Responding to offers to use substances
  • Determining strategies for dealing with
    persistent symptoms
  • Exploring alternative recreational activities
  • Finding work or other meaningful activities

100
Avoiding the Blame/Demoralization Trap
  • Dont blame the client for substance abuse or
    relapses because
  • Substance abuse is a disorder for which clients
    are no more responsible than their primary
    psychiatric symptoms
  • Clients with most severe substance abuse need
    professional help the most many others improve
    spontaneously
  • Remember that the clients are doing the best they
    can

101
  • To avoid demoralization
  • Remember integrated treatment works in the long
    run
  • There is usually no obvious best solution
  • Adopt a collaborative-empirical approach to
    treatment
  • View relapses as an inevitable part of the
    recovery process
