PREDISPOSING FACTORS
Factors vary among individuals and no one factor can account entirely for the risk of substance abuse. Studies indicate a high correlation between substance use and the presence of psy­chiatric disorders, especially anxiety disorders, depression, schizophrenia, and eating disorders in females.
A. Genetic. B. Familial. C. Environmental. D. Occupational. E. Socioeconomic. F. Cultural. G. Personality. H. Life stress. I. Psychiatric comorbidity. J. Biological. K. Social learning and behavioral conditioning. L. Sexual minority adults identied as being lesbian, gay, or
bisexual.
COMMON COMPLAINTS
Clients’ complaints will be focused on the symptoms of the problem rather than the substance dependence. The problem itself will be avoided through use of denial, minimization, blaming, and projection (all signs of the disease of substance dependence).
A. Chronic anxiety and tension. B. Insomnia. C. Chronic depression. D. Headaches and/or back pain. E. Blackouts. F. Gastrointestinal problems. G. Tachycardia/palpitations. H. Frequent falls or minor injuries. I. Problems with a loved one, problems at work, or with
friends.
OTHER SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS
A. Defensiveness about alcohol/drug use or vagueness with
answers.
B. History of problems with family life, marital relationships,
work, nances, and physical health.
C. Change in spiritual beliefs (stops attending religious
services).
D. Unexplained job changes and multiple trafc accidents. E. History of impulsive behavior, ghting, or unexplained
falls.
F. Arrest for public drunkenness, driving under the inu-
ence, or illegal activity when alcohol/drugs were involved.
G. Tremors (shakes). H. Delirium tremens (DTs). I. Seizures related to drugs. J. Hallucinations. K. History of chronic family chaos and instability. L. Physical indications of chronic alcohol/drug use include
spider angiomas, ruddy nose and face, nasal lesions, brux­ism, swollen features, bruises, needle marks/tracks, cutane­ous abscesses, malnourishment, anemia, jaundice, and severe dental problems such as “meth mouth.”
M. Active withdrawal symptoms include nausea and vom-
iting, malaise, weakness, tachycardia, diaphoresis, tremors, lightheadedness or dizziness, insomnia, irritability, confusion, perceptual abnormalities or hallucinations (auditory, visual, or tactile), paresthesia, blurred vision, diarrhea, anorexia,
abdominal cramps, severe depression, severe anxiety, piloerec­tion, fasciculation (muscle twitching), rhinorrhea, fever, ele­vated blood pressure and pulse, tinnitus, nystagmus, delirium, or seizures.
N. Overdose symptoms related to drug(s) include seizures,
cardiovascular depression/collapse, and respiratory depres­sion/collapse. Be prepared to provide cardiovascular and respiratory support and supportive care until transport.
SUBJECTIVE DATA
A. Review the onset, duration, and course of presenting
complaints.
B. Question the client regarding relatives with a history of
alcohol, tobacco, or drug use or problems pertaining to use.
C. When questioning the client, assume some use. Start with
the least invasive questions rst, for example, “At what age did you rst start drinking?” Then ask about tobacco prod­ucts, e-cigarettes, over-the-counter (OTC) medications, prescription medications, marijuana, stimulants, opiates, sed­atives, hypnotics, benzodiazepines, barbiturates, hallucino­gens, inhalants, steroids, and other drugs.
D. Review use of the following drugs concerning quantity
and type (if cigarettes, brand smoked, e-cigarettes; if alcohol, type of alcohol: beer, wine, hard liquor) and age at initiation. Query regarding previous attempts to stop use.
E. Start with the past and proceed to the present with use;
include rst use of the mood-altering substance, amount, and the last use of the particular substance and amount.
F. Choose evidence-based screening tools and assessments.
The NIDA website has links to multiple tools specic to alco­hol and/or drugs and client age, and indicates if the tool is self-administered or clinician-administered (www.drugabuse .gov/nidamed-medical-health-professionals/screening-tools
-resources/chart-screening-tools).
1. Assess using the CAGE test. The CAGE (two out of
four) is highly predictive of addiction.
a. Have you ever tried to cut down on your alcohol/
drug use?
b. Do you get annoyed if someone mentions your use
is a problem?
c. Do you ever feel guilty about your use? d. Do you ever have an “eye-opener” rst thing in the
morning after you have been drinking or using the night before?
2. Assess the client’s pain and function regularly using
a validated instrument, such as the three-item PEG Assessment Scale. A 30% improvement in pain and func­tion is considered clinically meaningful. If your client does not have a 30% improvement in pain and function, con­sider reducing dose or tapering and discontinuing opi­oids. Ask the client:
a. What number best describes your pain on average
in the past week? (from 0 = no pain to 10 = pain as bad as you can imagine)
b. What number best describes how, during the past
week, pain has interfered with your enjoyment of life? (from 0 = does not interfere to 10 = completely interferes)
c. What number best describes how, during the past
week, pain has interfered with your general activity? (from 0 = does not interfere to 10 = completely interferes)
3. Assess for depression using the Patient Health
Questionnaire (PHQ). The PHQ-9 has been validated for use in primary care settings and can be used to make a
SUBSTANCE USE DISORDERS

tentative diagnosis of depression and to monitor depression severity and response to treatments in the past 2 weeks. The PHQ-9 is available at d14rmgtrwzf5a.cloudfront.net/sites/ default/les/les/PatientHealthQuestionnaire9.pdf.
4. The NIDA has two brief online validated adolescent sub-
stance use screening tools to assess for SUD risk among ado­lescents 12 to 17 years old. The Brief Screener for Tobacco, Alcohol, and Other Drugs (BSTAD) and the Screening to Brief Intervention (S2BI) ask clients about the frequency of past-year use and triage them into one of three levels of SUD risk: no reported use, lower risk, and higher risk.
a. The BSATD online tool can be accessed at www.dru
gabuse.gov/ast/bstad/#/.
b. The S2BI online tool can be accessed at www.druga
buse.gov/ast/s2bi/#/.
G. If the client admits drinking or drug use, ascertain specic
amounts and the last use of each substance. Has the client ever needed the use of naloxone for overdose or been hospitalized?
H. Determine whether the client experiences suicidal ideation
and whether there is a history of attempts (see Chapter 22, “Psychiatric Guidelines”).
PHYSICAL EXAMINATION
A. Check temperature (if indicated), pulse, respirations,
blood pressure, and height and weight to calculate body mass index.
B. Inspect:
1. Observe general appearance, dress, grooming, breath
odor, wasted appearance, attitude, sad affect, psychomo­tor retardation, or tremors.
2. Conduct a dermal examination for spider angiomas,
bruises, track marks, color, pallor, rash, jaundice, pete­chiae, and gynecomastia in males (hallucinogens).
3. Examine the eyes for sclera color and features, pupil
size, and reactivity.
4. Inspect the nasal mucosa for erythema, edema, spider
telangiectasis, and discharge; look for septal lesions or per­foration, deviation, and polyps.
5. Inspect the mouth/pharynx: oral lesions, poor dental
hygiene, erythema, and teeth for uneven surfaces, tooth decay, and gum erosion.
C. Palpate:
1. Palpate the neck and thyroid.
2. Palpate the axilla and groin for lymphadenopathy.
3. Palpate the abdomen; note hepatomegaly/tenderness.
D. Percuss:
1. Percuss the chest; note pulmonary consolidation.
2. Percuss the abdomen for hepatosplenomegaly.
E. Auscultate:
1. Auscultate the heart for murmur, new S4 gallop, single
S2, and arrhythmias.
2. Auscultate the lungs for rales, effusion, and consolidation.
F. Perform neurologic examination/mental status.
DIAGNOSTIC TESTS
Intravenous drug use contributes strongly to the spread of AIDS, hepati­tis B and hepatitis C, and other infectious diseases. Consider evaluation for sexually transmitted infections.
A. Blood alcohol level. B. Cotinine level (nicotine, where available). C. Urine drug screen.
D. Complete blood count with differential. E. Platelet count. F. HIV or hepatitis. G. Antinuclear antibody, erythrocyte sedimentation rate, and
rheumatoid factor.
H. Electrolytes. I. Liver panel:
1. Elevated liver enzymes can also be attributed to over-
use of acetaminophen (Tylenol), found in combination with opiates.
J. Blood cultures (fever). K. Bone density studies:
1. Clients who have been drinking for years should have
bone density studies done as alcohol increases the risk of osteoporosis.
DIFFERENTIAL DIAGNOSES
A. Chronic pain syndrome. B. Anxiety. C. Depression.
PLAN
A. General interventions:
1. Discuss your concerns about alcohol, nicotine, or drug
use and discuss addiction treatment with the client.
2. Principles of Drug Addiction Treatment:
a. Everyone entering treatment receives a clinical
assessment. A complete assessment of an individ­ual is needed to help treatment professionals offer the type of treatment that best suits the client. The assessment also helps program counselors work with the person to design an effective treatment plan. Although clinical assessment continues throughout a person’s treatment, it starts at or just before a per­son’s admission to a treatment program. The assess­ment includes:
i. Cultural issues around use of alcohol or drugs. ii. Effects of drug or alcohol use on the person’s life. iii. Medical history. iv. Current medical problems or needs. v. Current medications (including pain
medication).
vi. Mental health issues or behavioral problems. vii. Family and social issues and needs. viii. Legal or nancial problems. ix. Educational background and needs. x. Current living situation and environment. xi. Employment history, stability, problems, and
needs.
xii. School performance, problems, and needs, if
relevant.
xiii. Previous treatment experiences or attempts to
quit drug or alcohol use.
b. More than three decades of scientic research show
that treatment can help drug-addicted individuals stop drug use, avoid relapse, and successfully recover their lives. Based on this research, 13 fundamental princi­ples that characterize effective drug abuse treatment have been developed. These principles are detailed in NIDA’s Principles of Drug Addiction Treatment: A Research-Based Guide. The guide also describes differ­ent types of science-based treatments and provides answers to commonly asked questions.

2: PUBLIC HEALTH GUIDELINES
i. Addiction is a complex but treatable disease
that affects brain function and behavior. Drugs alter the brain’s structure and how it functions, resulting in changes that persist long after drug use has ceased. This may help explain why abus­ers are at risk of relapse even after long periods of abstinence.
ii. No single treatment is appropriate for every-
one. Matching treatment settings, interventions, and services to an individual’s particular problems and needs is critical to their ultimate success.
iii. Treatment needs to be readily available. Because
drug-addicted individuals may be uncertain about entering treatment, taking advantage of available services the moment people are ready for treatment is critical. Potential clients can be lost if treatment is not immediately available or readily accessible.
iv. Effective treatment attends to multiple needs
of the individual, not just theri drug abuse. To be effective, treatment must address the individual’s drug abuse and any associated medical, psychologi­cal, social, vocational, and legal problems.
v. Remaining in treatment for an adequate
period of time is critical. The appropriate duration for an individual depends on the type and degree of their problems and needs. Research indicates that most addicted individuals need at least 3 months in treatment to signicantly reduce or stop their drug use and that the best outcomes occur with longer durations of treatment.
vi. Counseling—individual and/or group—and
other behavioral therapies are the most commonly used forms of drug abuse treatment. Behavioral
therapies vary in their focus and may involve addressing a client’s motivations to change, build­ing skills to resist drug use, replacing drug-using activities with constructive and rewarding activi­ties, improving problem-solving skills, and facilitat­ing better interpersonal relationships.
vii. Medications are an important element of treat-
ment for many clients, especially when combined with counseling and other behavioral therapies.
For example, methadone and buprenorphine are effective in helping individuals addicted to heroin or other opioids stabilize their lives and reduce their illicit drug use. Also, for persons addicted to nicotine, a nicotine replacement product (nicotine patches or gum) or an oral medication (bupropion or varenicline) can be an effective component of treatment when part of a comprehensive behavioral treatment program.
viii. An individual’s treatment and services plan
must be assessed continually and modied as nec­essary to ensure it meets their changing needs.
A client may require varying combinations of ser­vices and treatment components during the course of treatment and recovery. In addition to counseling or psychotherapy, a client may require medication, medical services, family therapy, parenting instruc­tion, vocational rehabilitation, and/or social and legal services. For many clients, a continuing care approach provides the best results, with treatment intensity varying according to a person’s changing needs.
ix. Many drug-addicted individuals also have
other mental disorders. Because drug abuse and addiction—both of which are mental disorders— often co-occur with other mental illnesses, clients presenting with one condition should be assessed for the other(s). When these problems co-occur, treatment should address both (or all), including the use of medications as appropriate.
x. Medically assisted detoxication is only the
rst stage of addiction treatment and by itself does little to change long-term drug abuse. Although
medically assisted detoxication can safely manage the acute physical symptoms of withdrawal, detox­ication alone is rarely sufcient to help addicted individuals achieve long-term abstinence. Thus, cli­ents should be encouraged to continue drug treat­ment following detoxication.
xi. Treatment does not need to be voluntary to
be effective. Sanctions or enticements from family, employment settings, and/or the criminal justice system can signicantly increase treatment entry, retention rates, and the ultimate success of drug treatment interventions.
xii. Drug use during treatment must be monitored
continuously, as lapses during treatment do occur. Knowing their drug use is being monitored can be a powerful incentive for clients and can help them withstand urges to use drugs. Monitoring also pro­vides an early indication of a return to drug use, signaling a possible need to adjust an individual’s treatment plan to better meet their needs.
xiii. Treatment programs should assess clients for
presence of HIV/AIDS, hepatitis B and C, tuber­culosis, and other infectious diseases, as well as provide targeted risk reduction counseling to help clients modify or change behaviors that place them at risk of contracting or spreading infectious diseases. Targeted counseling specically focused
on reducing infectious disease risk can help clients further reduce or avoid substance-related and other high-risk behaviors. Treatment providers should encourage and support HIV screening and inform clients in whom highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) has proven effective in combating HIV, including among drug-abusing populations.
c. At each ofce visit, provide support to help prevent
relapse. If relapse occurs, encourage the client to try again immediately.
d. Consider signing a contract with the client to stop
smoking, drinking, or using drugs.
e. Verify abstinence by urine drug screen and pill
counts at each visit.
f. Assess potential for suicide with every ofce visit. g. If possible, obtain conrmation of the client’s absti-
nence from a family member.
h. Stress the importance of 12-step meetings such as
Alcoholics Anonymous (AA), Cocaine Anonymous (CA), and Narcotics Anonymous (NA).
i. Have the client sign a written release of information
so that you can speak with a rehabilitation counselor. If the client is willing, refer to an alcohol and drug treat­ment facility or smoking-cessation program, after ini­tial assessment and differential diagnosis are made.
j. Treat physical/laboratory ndings as indicated.
SUBSTANCE USE DISORDERS

k. Identify potential withdrawal symptoms from ces-
sation of stimulants, such as caffeine intake reduction, alcohol, and drug use.
l. If malnourished, discuss dietary needs and
treatment.
B. Client teaching: See Client Teaching Guide for Chapter 22,
“Psychiatric Guidelines.”
1. Educate the client about the impact of alcohol, tobacco,
and drugs on physical/emotional health. Provide infor­mation for the client to read at home.
2. Educate the client about safe disposal of medications.
a. Many communities have drug take-back programs;
some pharmacies have mail-back programs and dis­posal kiosks for unused/expired medicines.
b. Almost all medicines, except those on the Food and
Drug Administration (FDA) ush list, can be thrown into household trash, including prescription and OTC drugs in pills, liquids, drops, patches, creams, and inhalers.
i. Mix medications with an unappealing sub-
stance, such as dirt or kitty litter, place in a sealed container such as a zip-locking bag, and dispose in the household trash.
ii. Mark out or scratch out personal information
on used prescription bottles before placing them in the household trash.
iii. The fentanyl adhesive patch, even after used,
contains a lot of medication and therefore ushing the patch is recommended for disposal.
C. Pharmaceutical therapy:
1. The CDC Guideline for Prescribing Opioids for chronic
pain recommends optimization of nonopioid pharmaco­therapy and nonpharmacologic therapy, rather than a trial of opioids. The principles of chronic pain treatment using nonopioid treatments are noted in Exhibit 2.1.
2. The CDC’s Guideline for Prescribing Opioids for Chronic
Pain was published in March 2016 and can be accessed at www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/65/rr/rr6501e1. htm. The guideline provides 12 recommendations on appropriate prescribing of prescription opioids and other treatment options to improve pain management and client safety. The guideline is not intended for clients who are on active cancer treatment, palliative care, or end-of-life care.
a. Nonpharmacologic therapy and nonopioid phar-
macologic therapy are preferred for chronic pain. Clinicians should consider opioid therapy only if expected benets for both pain and function are antic­ipated to outweigh risks to the client. If opioids are used, they should be combined with nonpharmaco­logic therapy and nonopioid pharmacologic therapy, as appropriate.
b. Before starting opioid therapy for chronic pain, cli-
nicians should establish treatment goals with all cli­ents, including realistic goals for pain and function, and should consider how opioid therapy will be dis­continued if benets do not outweigh risks. Clinicians should continue opioid therapy only if there is clini­cally meaningful improvement in pain and function that outweighs risks to client safety.
c. Before starting and periodically during opioid ther-
apy, clinicians should discuss with the client the known risks and realistic benets of opioid therapy and client and clinician responsibilities for managing therapy.
d. When starting opioid therapy for chronic pain, cli-
nicians should prescribe immediate-release opioids instead of extended release/long-acting (ER/LA) opi­oids (ER/LA opioids include methadone, transdermal fentanyl, and ER versions of opioids).
e. When opioids are started, clinicians should prescribe
the lowest effective dosage. Clinicians should use cau­tion when prescribing opioids at any dosage, should carefully reassess evidence of individual benets and risks when considering increasing dosage to 50 mor­phine milligram equivalents (MME)/d, and should avoid increasing dosage to 90 MME/d or carefully justify a decision to titrate dosage to 90 MME/d.
f. Long-term opioid use often begins with treatment
of acute pain. When opioids are used for acute pain, clinicians should prescribe the lowest effective dose of immediate-release opioids and should prescribe no greater quantity than needed for the expected duration of pain severe enough to require opioids. Three days or less will often be sufcient; more than 7 days will rarely be needed.
g. Clinicians should evaluate the benets and harms
with clients within 1 to 4 weeks of starting opioid ther­apy for chronic pain or of dose escalation. Clinicians should evaluate the benets and harms of continued therapy with clients every 3 months or more frequently. If benets do not outweigh harms of continued opioid therapy, clinicians should optimize other therapies and work with clients to taper opioids to lower dosages or to taper and discontinue opioids.
h. Before starting and periodically during continua-
tion of opioid therapy, clinicians should evaluate risk factors for opioid-related harms. Clinicians should incorporate into the management plan strategies to mitigate risk, including considering naloxone when factors that increase the risk of opioid overdose, such as history of overdose, history of SUD, higher opioid dosages (50 MME/d), or concurrent benzodiazepine use, are present.
i. Clinicians should review the client’s history of con-
trolled substance prescriptions using state prescription drug monitoring program (PDMP) data to determine whether the client is receiving opioid dosages or dan­gerous combinations that put them at high risk of overdose. Clinicians should review PDMP data when starting opioid therapy for chronic pain and periodi­cally during opioid therapy for chronic pain, ranging from every prescription to every 3 months.
j. When prescribing opioids for chronic pain, clini-
cians should use urine drug testing before starting opi­oid therapy and consider urine drug testing at least annually to assess for prescribed medications as well as other controlled prescription drugs and illicit drugs.
k. Clinicians should avoid prescribing opioid pain
medication and benzodiazepines concurrently when­ever possible.
l. Clinicians should offer or arrange evidence-based
treatment (usually medication-assisted treatment with buprenorphine or methadone in combination with behavioral therapies) for clients with opioid use disorder.
3. Opioid antagonist: Depending on the state, friends, fam-
ily members, and others in the community may give naloxone

NONOPIOID TREATMENTS FOR CHRONIC PAIN
PRINCIPLES OF CHRONIC PAIN TREATMENT
Patients with pain should receive treatment that provides the greatest benefit. Opioids are not the first-line therapy for chronic pain outside of active cancer treatment, palliative care, and end-of-life care. Evidence suggests that nonopioid treatments, including nonopioid medications and nonpharmacological therapies can provide relief to those suffering from chronic pain, and are safer. Effective approaches to chronic pain should:
Use nonopioid therapies to the extent possible
Identify and address co-existing mental health conditions (e.g., depression, anxiety, PTSD)
Focus on functional goals and improvement, engaging patients actively in their pain management
Use disease-specific treatments when available (e.g., triptans for migraines, gabapentin/pregabalin/duloxetine for neuropathic pain)
Consider interventional therapies (e.g., corticosteroid injections) in patients who fail standard non-invasive therapies
Use multimodal approaches, including interdisciplinary rehabilitation for patients who have failed standard treatments, have severe functional deficits, or psychosocial risk factors
NONOPIOID MEDICATIONS
MEDICATION
Acetaminophen Small
NSAIDs Small-moderate Cardiac, GI, renal First-line analgesic, COX-2 selective NSAIDs less GI toxicity
Gabapentin/pregabalin Small-moderate Sedation, dizziness, ataxia First-line agent for neuropathic pain; pregabalin approved for fibromyalgia
Tricyclic antidepressants and serotonin/norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors
Topical agents (lidocaine, capsaicin, NSAIDs)
MAGNITUDE OF BENEFITS
Small-moderate
Small-moderate
HARMS COMMENTS
Hepatotoxic, particularly at higher doses
TCAs have anticholinergic and cardiac toxicities; SNRIs safer and better tolerated
Capsaicin initial flare/ burning, irritation of mucus membranes
First-line analgesic, probably less effective than NSAIDs
First-line for neuropathic pain; TCAs and SNRIs for fibromyalgia, TCAs for headaches
Consider as alternative first-line, thought to be safer than systemic medications. Lidocaine for neuropathic pain, topical NSAIDs for localized osteoarthritis, topical capsaicin for musculoskeletal and neuropathic pain

to someone who has overdosed. Some states require a pre­scription; in other states, pharmacies may distribute nalox­one in an outpatient setting without a prescription. There are three FDA-approved formulations of naloxone:
a. Intravenous (IV) injectable: professional training
required for administration.
b. Autoinjectable Evzio: prelled autoinject device
that makes it easy for families or emergency personnel to inject naloxone quickly into the outer thigh. Once activated, the device provides verbal instructions to the user describing how to deliver the medication, sim­ilar to automated debrillators.
Caregivers and family members should practice administration tech­nique using the trainer injector that is supplied with the product before naloxone is needed.
c. Narcan Nasal Spray: prelled, needle-free device
that requires no assembly and is sprayed into one nos­tril while the client lies on their back.
d. Dosing:
i. Adults: 0.4 to 2 mg IV, intramuscularly (IM), or
subcutaneously, up to a total dose of 10 mg; doses may be repeated every 2 to 3 minutes, as needed. In emergency settings, clinical practice guidelines recommend 0.4 to 2 mg IV; alternatively, 0.4 to 0.8 mg may be given by IM or subcutaneous injection if systemic perfusion is adequate. Repeat doses as needed to attain desired response.
ii. Children and adolescents 5 to 17 years or weigh-
ing more than 20 kg: 2 mg IV or IO is recommended for total reversal of narcotic effect (Pediatric Advanced Life Support [PALS] recommendation); may require repeated doses to prevent recurrent apnea. The FDA-approved labeling recommends an initial dose of .01 mg/kg IV, IM, or subcutaneously; may repeat dose every 2 to 3 minutes until sufcient response.
iii. Infants and children younger than 5 years or
weighing 20 kg or less: .1 mg/kg/dose IV or IO is rec­ommended for total reversal of narcotic effect (PALS recommendation); may require repeated doses to prevent recurrent apnea. The FDA-approved label­ing recommends an initial dose of 0.01 mg/kg/dose IV, IM, or subcutaneously; may repeat dose every 2 to 3 minutes until sufcient response.
iv. Neonates: 0.1 mg/kg/dose IV is recommended
by clinical practice guidelines and may require repeated doses to prevent recurrent apnea. If IV access is not available, IM administration is accept­able. The FDA-approved labeling recommends 0.01 mg/kg/dose IV, IM, or subcutaneously every 2 to 3 minutes until the desired response is obtained.
v. Intranasal dosage (Narcan Nasal Spray): NOTE:
Restrict use of the 2-mg nasal spray to opioid­dependent clients expected to be at risk of severe opioid withdrawal in situations where there is a low risk for accidental or intentional opioid exposure by household contacts
1) Adults, adolescents, children, infants, and
neonates: Spray, which delivers 2 mg or 4 mg of naloxone, by intranasal administration. Seek immediate medical attention after administra­tion of the rst dose. If additional doses are available, dose may be repeated in alternate
nostrils every 2 to 3 minutes as needed if the desired response is not attained or if the cli­ent relapses into respiratory depression. Each device contains a single dose. Family or care­giver should monitor the client closely until emergency medical personal arrive. Pediatric clients should continue to be monitored for at least 24 hours after administration.nel arrive. Pediatric clients should continue to be moni­tored for at least 24 hours after administration.
4. Nicotine replacement:
a. Consider nicotine replacement for those who smoke
more than one pack of cigarettes per day or who smoke their rst cigarette within 30 minutes of waking. Stress that there is no smoking while using the nicotine patch.
b. Nicotine patch: Nicoderm (dosing based on more
than 10 cigarettesper day habit):
i. 21 mg/QD for 6 weeks (14 mg QD × 6 weeks for
<10 cigarettesper day) then
ii. 14 mg/QD for 2 weeks (7 mg QD × 6 weeks for
<10 cigarettesper day) then
iii. 7 mg/QD for 2 weeks (only for more than 10
cigarettesper day habit).
c. Nicotine gum:
i. 2 to 4 mg of nicotine gum per hour with a maxi-
mum of 24 pieces per day for up to 12 weeks.
d. Nicotine lozenges:
i. 2 to 4 mg every 1 to 2 hours for 6 weeks. ii. 2 mg every 2 to 4 hours for 3 weeks. iii. 2 mg every 4 to 8 hours for 3 weeks.
5. Nonnicotine therapy:
a. Adults: bupropion (Zyban, Wellbutrin) 150 ER mg
daily for 3 days, then increase to 150 mg ER twice daily. Treat for 7 to 12 weeks. The client may continue to smoke during the rst 2 weeks of starting medica­tion. This medication should not be given to clients with seizure disorders.
b. Varenicline (Chantix): Start at .5 mg/d for the rst 3
days, then for the next 4 days .5 mg BID. After the rst 7 days, the dose is 1 mg BID × 11 weeks.
i. Encourage the client to choose a stop date for
smoking and start the Chantix 1 to 2 weeks before this stop date.
ii. The client should be encouraged to quit even if
they have relapses.
iii. Instruct the client that the most common side
effects of Chantix are insomnia, vivid or strange dreams, and nausea. Advise that side effects are usually transient.
iv. Warn the client regarding potential side effects
of mood swings, aggression, homicidal thoughts, psychosis, anxiety, and panic disorder, which may occur on rare occasions.
v. See package inserts or the Physicians’ Desk
Reference for detailed instructions.

FOLLOW-UP
A. Make a follow-up appointment weekly. Make contact with
the referral source (smoking cessation program, alcohol/ drug rehabilitation program) before the next follow-up visit to check on the client’s progress. At the weekly visit, question the client regarding compliance.
B. Order blood alcohol, urine drug screen, or nicotine level
(as appropriate) with every ofce visit while on outpatient treatment and throughout the year following treatment.
C. Once positive change is seen, the client can be seen
monthly. Discuss changes the client has made, past relapses, circumstances under which they occurred, and any special concerns.
D. Refer to the medical diagnosis for other applicable
follow-up recommendations.
CONSULTATION/REFERRAL
A. Refer clients with drug and/or alcohol dependence to a
community mental health center that has an outpatient alco­hol/drug rehabilitation program or to a specialist in the community who deals frequently with substance abuse/ dependence.
1. Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services
Administration (SAMHSA): Search for alcohol, drug, or mental health treatment facilities around the country, con­dentially and anonymously located in your area.
2. National Helpline 1-800-662-HELP (4357) for treatment
referral and information 24/7.
3. Behavioral Health Treatment Locator: ndtreatment.sa
mhsa.gov/.
4. Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) for Substance
Use Disorders, SAMHSA Opioid Treatment Program Directory: dpt2.samhsa.gov/treatment/.
5. Buprenorphine Practitioner Locator: www.samhsa.go
v/medication-assisted-treatment/practitioner-program-d ata/treatment-practitioner-locator.
B. Planning a family intervention to confront the client
is best done with the help of an experienced mental health professional.
C. Have referral numbers close at hand so that the client’s
moment of motivation is not lost.
INDIVIDUAL CONSIDERATIONS
A. Pregnancy:
1. Substance-dependent pregnant clients frequently avoid
early prenatal care for fear of identication and reprisal.
2. Cocaine use is associated with abruptio placenta and
preterm labor. Consider drug screen for emergent admis­sions of clients in preterm labor and abruption.
3. Notify the hospital nursery personnel/neonatologist
before delivery to closely monitor the newborn for neona­tal abstinence syndrome.
4. Nicotine/smoking use is associated with intrauter-
ine growth restriction, preterm delivery, and bleeding in pregnancy.
5. Nicotine-dependent pregnant clients should be encour-
aged to stop smoking without pharmacologic treatment. The nicotine patch should be used during pregnancy only if the increased likelihood of smoking cessation, with its potential benets, outweighs the risk of nicotine replace­ment and potential concomitant smoking. Similar factors should be considered in lactating individuals.
6. Pregnant clients who use alcohol, tobacco, or drugs
should always be classied as substance-dependent rather than substance-abusive.
B. Pediatrics:
1. Infants of smokers have increased risk of sudden infant
death syndrome (SIDS).
2. The diagnosis of substance dependence is more dif-
cult to make in children younger than 18 years. If there is any indication of substance dependence, children should be referred to a pediatrician who deals specically with this problem.
3. Consider drug use when alienation of friends and fam-
ily, falling grades, and isolation occur.
4. “Hufng” is common with gasoline, glues, aerosol
sprays, and spray paints.
5. The use of synthetic cannabinoid products is on the
rise in the adolescent population. K2, Spice, and bath salts and others are available in tobacco stores, gas sta­tions, over the internet, and in other small shops. These products can be very harmful. They are not detected on routine toxicology drug screens. Be aware of illicit drug use if clients present with change in behavior, depression, paranoid delusion, and aggressive behaviors. Educate the client and family regarding the toxic use of these OTC substances. Stress to the client that these are abusive sub­stances that can potentially be fatal. Stress cessation of use and refer to specialist.
C. Adults:
1. Alcohol:
a. With females, tolerance can be established by asking
the question, “How many drinks does it take to make you high?” More than two drinks indicates some tolerance.
b. In considering a diagnosis of alcohol dependence,
consider the following diagnostic ndings: hyperten­sion; nonspecic EKG changes; cardiomyopathy; pal­pitations; increased mean cell volume; decreased red blood cell count; low platelet count; increased ala­nine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotrans­ferase (AST), lactic dehydrogenase, gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase, and alkaline phosphatase; type IV hyperlipoproteinemia; gout; and adult-onset diabetes mellitus.
D. Geriatrics:
1. In this population, consumption of as little as 1 oz/d
can indicate a problem.
2. Pain medications and benzodiazepines, along with
multiple medications for health problems, may create a substance abuse problem.
E. Partners/Family members:
1. For fear of retribution, the family may remain silent
about the problem, even if accompanying the client to the healthcare visit.
2. Some studies by corporate business show that, per
capita, businesses spend more money on the care of fam­ily members of substance-dependent clients than on the employee.
3. Refer family members of alcoholics/drug addicts to
Al-Anon, Nar-Anon, Co-Dependents Anonymous, or Adult Children of Alcoholics (ACOA) meetings.
4. Discuss availability and administration of Narcan.

VIOLENCE: CHILDREN
A.DEFINITION
The denitions of sexual abuse, childhood abuse, and the age of children included in statistics change with each state in the United States. Any family member, friend, or stranger can per­petrate abuse; however, fathers, mothers’ boyfriends, female babysitters, and mothers are the most common perpetrators of abuse. Nonaccidental injury/abuse may result in serious physical or emotional harm and may result in failure to thrive (FTT), delayed developmental progress, or death.
1. Physical abuse: iniction of pain/harm producing
injuries, including skeletal fractures, skin (e.g., burns), and central nervous system injuries (e.g., abusive head trauma [AHT] and shaken baby syndrome [SBS]/shaking-impact syndrome).
2. Sexual abuse: inappropriate exposure; fondling; sexual
stimulation; coercion; oral, genital, buttock, and breast contact; anal or vaginal penetration; foreign-body inser­tion; and sharing obscene images and making use of child pornography photos or videos.
3. Emotional abuse: rejection, lack of affection or stim-
ulation, ignoring, dominating, intimidating, describing the child negatively, blaming the child, and verbal abuse (belittle, yell, threats of severe punishment) resulting in impaired psychological growth and development.
4. Child neglect: isolation; starvation; lack of medical care;
inadequate supervision; failure to provide love, affection, and emotional support; and failure to enroll/attend school.
INCIDENCE
A. Childhood abuse occurs worldwide; the exact incidence is
not known. It occurs across all cultures and at all racial, socio­economic, and educational levels.
B. In the United States, approximately 700,000 to 1.25 million
children are abused or neglected annually.
C. Approximately 3.6 million refer`rals are made to child pro-
tective agencies (CPS), involving more than 6.6 million chil­dren (a referral can include multiple children), for child abuse and/or neglect reported annually.
D. Up to 2,500 children die of inicted injuries annually in the
United States.
VIOLENCE: CHILDREN
https://t.me/med1917
47
E. Sexual abuse is underreported, underrecognized, and
undertreated.
F. Approximately one in six boys are sexually abused before
the age of 16 years.
G. More than 15 million children live with families in which
partner violence occurs at least once a year. Seven million
children live in families in which severe partner violence
occurs. Witnessing domestic violence is associated with
experiencing physical abuse and witnessing physical abuse
of a sibling.
