Objectives
• Review current statistics and disease burden of
substance abuse in the United States.
• Describe importance of screening for, provide brief
intervention for, and recognize when to refer to
treatment for substance abuse disorders in the
primary care setting.
• Review specific substances of abuse (alcohol,
nicotine, MJ, opiates) and accepted pharmacologic
treatments

social or interpersonal problems caused or
exacerbated by the substance
•
Great deal of time spent in obtaining, using, and
recovering from substance

DSM-V Substance Related Disorders
–A major overhaul of the DSM-IV criteria for substance use
includes the following:
•Substance Use Disorder (SUD) is a single disorder, measured on a
continuum from mild to severe, that combines the DSM-IV abuse and
dependence criteria with the following two exceptions:
–DSM-IV recurrent legal problems has been removed
–New criterion for craving or a strong desire or urge to use has been added
•Each specific substance is addressed as a separate use disorder (e.g.
alcohol use disorder, opiate use disorder)
•Cannabis and Caffeine withdrawal are new for DSM-V
•Gambling disorder has been added
DSM-V Substance Use Disorder
•SUD is accompanied by criteria for intoxication, withdrawal,
substance/medication-induced disorders and unspecified substanceinduced disorders.
•The severity of SUD in DSM-V is based on criteria endorsed:
–2-3 – mild disorder
–4-5 – moderate disorder
–6 or more – severe disorder
•Helps define SUD as a continuum and removes confusion regarding
dependence with “addiction” when in fact dependence can be a
normal body response to a substance
•Additional modifiers and specifies exist as well.
•Substance INTOXICATION & WITHDRAWAL are different codes and are
dependent on the severity of the SUD

Question # 2
A 67 year old male with was brought to the emergency department after his friend
found him confused at home. The patient typically drinks up to 12 cans of beer daily
but has increased over the past 2 months. He has had some falls while intoxicated
over the past year and has tried to cut down but hasn’t been able to do so. His family
has been encouraging him to cut down and he has been unsuccessful. He decided to
stop drinking and his last drink was about 20 hours ago. When found, the patient
referred to his friend as his wife who has been deceased for 2 years. Which of the
following is most accurate?
(A) The patient meets diagnostic criteria for moderate alcohol use disorder and is
beginning to have delirium tremens
(B) The patient meets diagnostic criteria severe alcohol use disorder and is beginning
to have delirium tremens
(C)The patient meets diagnostic criteria for moderate to severe alcohol use disorder
and is beginning to have alcohol hallucinations
(D) Naltrexone, thiamine and folate should be given to the patient prior to treatment
with lorazepam
(E) None of the above
Alcohol
Alcohol Withdrawal Syndromes
• Pathophysiology of ETOH withdrawal
– Abrupt withdrawal unmasks compensatory over-activity of
the nervous system.
– Alters levels of GABA, Norepinephrine and Serotonin
• Minor Withdrawal Symptoms
– Due to CNS and sympathetic hyperactivity
– Usually present within 6 hrs of drinking cessation
– Insomnia, tremulousness, anxiety, GI upset, HA, diphoresis,
palpitations, or anorexia
– Resolve within 24-48 hours
– consistent from one episode to the next
8
Alcohol Withdrawal Syndromes
• Withdrawal Seizures
– Usually tonic-clinic convulsions within 48 hours of
last drink
– 3% of chronic alcoholics have withdrawal seizures
of which 3% develop status epilepticus
– Usually a singe episode. Recurrent or prolonged
seizures require investigation of another source
Alcohol Withdrawal Syndromes
• Alcoholic Hallucinations
– Often mistaken for delirium tremens (DTs)
– Hallucinations that develop 12-24 hrs from
abstinence and resolve within 24-48 hrs (which is
when DTs typically begin)
– Usually visual but can be auditory and tactile
– Usually associated with specific hallucinations and
not global clouding of the sensorium (as with DTs)
Alcohol Withdrawal Syndromes
• Delirium Tremens
– Occurs in 5% of pts experiencing withdrawal
– Hallucinations, disorientation, tachycardia, HTN,
low grade fever, agitation, and diaphoresis.
– Typically begin between 48 & 72 hrs and last one
to five days
– Mortality rate of 5%
• death usually from arrhythmias or complicating
illnesses such as pneumonia
9
Treatment
• Inpatient vs outpatient
• For all patients:
1. Thiamine 100mg oral/IV daily (before
glucose containing fluids to avoid Wernicke
encephalopathy)
2. Folate 1 mg oral for 3 days
Outpatient Pharmacotherapy
for ETOH Dependence
• Three agents approved by FDA for adjunctive
therapy for the treatment of alcohol
dependence (other agents exist)
– Naltrexone
• Pure opioid receptor antagonist
• Blunts pleasurable effects of alcohol and reduces
cravings
• Reduces relapse and number of drinking days
• CAUTION: Will cause opiate withdrawal !
• BLACK BOX WARNING-acute hepatic toxicity
Naltrexone
PO (ReVia®) / IM Depot (Vivitrol®)
• Typical starting and maintenance oral dose is 50mg
daily
• High risk patients should start at 12.5mg or 25mg and
titrate up
OR
• 380mg IM q 4 weeks
10
Outpatient Pharmacotherapy
for ETOH dependence
– Acamprosate (Campral)
• Structural analog of GABA
• Decreases excitatory glutameric neurotransmission
during withdrawal
• 666 mg TID. May need to adjust if pt has diarrhea
– Disulfiram (Antabuse)
• Deterrent- causes flushing, nausea, vomiting,
tachycardia, dyspnea, HA, blurred vision, vertigo and
anxiety 15-30 minutes after ingestion of ETOH
Indications for inpatient alcohol
detoxification
Indications for inpatient alcohol detoxification
- History of severe withdrawal symptoms
- History of alcohol withdrawal seizures or DTs
- Multiple past detoxifications
- Other medical or psychiatric illness
- Recent high levels of alcohol consumption
- Lack of reliable support network
- Pregnancy
Myrick,H. Treatment of alcohol withdrawal. Alcohol Health and Research World, 1998, Vol.22 Issue 1, 38-46.

• Gradual Tapering Regimen
- predetermined dosing schedule for several
days as the medication is gradually
discontinued (mostly used outpatient)
11
Treatment

Additional Interventions
• Phenobarbital or propofol for refractory DTs
– May require mechanical ventilation and ICU admission
• Phenothiazines and butyrophenones (including
Haldol) –AVOID- lower seizure threshold
• Anticonvulsants- controversial if effective.
– Most seizures are self limited and do not require
medication
– Consider phenytoin

while using varenicline .
FDA recommends that:
1.
2.
Patients tell their healthcare provider about any history of
psychiatric illness prior to starting this medication
Clinicians monitor patients for changes in mood and behavior
when prescribing this medication
18
Electronic Cigarettes
• Introduced into US in 2007
• Use has tripled among teens from 2013-14
• No FDA regulations (yet)
– Can be purchased online
– No age restrictions
• Solvents used to dissolve nicotine are irritants
and may be carcinogenic
• Companies don’t disclose all ingredients of their
electronic cigarette
Electronic Cigarettes
• E-cigs vs. placebo – helped with abstinence
from smoking traditional cigs 30 days or
less but not long term
• Surpasses all other forms of tobacco in
youth population
• Flavors that might appeal to younger age
group (chocolate, bubble gum…)
Question # 4
Which of the following is the most commonly
abused illicit drug in the US?
A – lorazepam
B – cannabinoids (marijuana)
C – opiates (heroin and pain medication)
D – alcohol
E – cocaine
19
Marijuana
Marijuana
• Marijuana is the most commonly abused illicit drug in the
United States
• Long-term marijuana abuse can lead to addiction;
– compulsive drug seeking and abuse despite its known
harmful effects upon social functioning
– Long-term marijuana abusers trying to quit report
irritability, sleeplessness, decreased appetite, anxiety, and
drug craving, all of which make it difficult to quit
• Effect on Mental Health:
– Causes increased rates of anxiety, depress, SI, and
schizophrenia.
National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) Website; http://www.nida.nih.gov/infofacts/costs.html
Question # 5
An intoxicated patient is brought to the emergency
department. Ocular examination reveals mydriasis.
This patient was most likely using which of the
following substances?
(A) alcohol
(B) cocaine
(C) opioids
(D) PCP
(E) sedatives
20
Opiates
Opiate Addiction Pharmacologic
Interventions
• Opiate Agonists
– Methadone
• Partial Agonist, Partial agonist/antagonist
– buprenorphine
– buprenorphine/naloxone
• Antagonist
– Naltrexone (Vivtrol®)
Why are opioid medications used to treat opioid
addictions?
• Common myth is that all medications used to treat addictions
are simply “substituting one addiction for another”
• Research has found that addiction to opioids results in
significant changes in brain chemistry and function.
• Some of these changes may be permanent, meaning some
individuals may require an opiate to bind to their changed
receptors in order to function normally.
• Medication therapy significantly helps individuals stay in
treatment more consistently, stay healthier, stay out of legal
trouble, and generally function well in society.
21
Naltrexone (Vivitrol®)
• Naltrexone is a opiate antagonist
• Tightly blocks mu opioid receptors
• FDA approved for treating alcohol dependence
and opiate dependence
– Decreases cravings in patients who abuse alcohol
• Comes in oral and IM depot formulations
– oral used to trial naltrexone prior to committing to IM
– IM- (Vivitrol®) – depot formulation that is given
monthly. If patients use opiates while on, no high.
• CAUTION: Will cause opiate withdrawal
• BLACK BOX WARNING-acute hepatic
toxicity
What is buprenorphine?
• Buprenorphine is a partial agonist of the mu
opioid receptor
– Binds to and activates the receptor
– Partial agonists have a “ceiling effect:”
• larger doses do not produce greater highs-- has a very
low risk of abuse and overdose.
How does being a partial agonist safeguard
against abuse?
• Features of Suboxone include:
– buprenorphine mixed with the antagonist naloxone (not in pregnancy)
– It must be taken correctly (dissolved under the tongue) to work
correctly.
– If injected, the naloxone will bind to the receptors and put the person
into rapid withdrawal.
– If it is swallowed without dissolving, there is no effect.
– When taken correctly, will act as an agonist and reduce craving and
withdrawal symptoms. Once “ceiling effect” is achieved, other opioids
such as heroin, are not able to bind to the receptors and therefore will
produce no effects.
– If administered while using other opiates, it may act as an antagonist
and put the person into immediate withdrawal.
