Management ofdrugsmisuse
Management aims to help the patient stay healthy until a drug- free life is
achieved. In particular by d the risk of infectious diseases, drug- related
deaths, and criminal activity to nance drug habits. Care can be dicult due
to chaotic lifestyle and drug- seeking behaviour. Set clear rules of engagement.
0 GPs interested in working in specialist drug misuse treatment centres
or providing substitute prescribing in the community should obtain specialist training. The RCGP Substance Misuse Unit provides certicate
courses in management of drug and alcohol misuse (M www.rcgp.org.uk).
Role oftheGP
Important role in identifying drug misuse (including prescription drugs) and assessing willingness to modify drug behaviour (see Figure 7.8). GPs can also provide:
Information and advice as appropriate about:
• Safe injecting, overdose prevention and specic risks of drugs (Table7.5,
E p. 164)— including local risks, e.g. contaminated street drugs
• Safe sexual practices (E p. 711)
• Driving and drug misuse (E p. 99)
• Other sources of support/ information
Medicalcare
• Routine medical care, including treatment of complications of drug
misuse, e.g. infected injection sites
• Routine preventive care (e.g. cervical screening, contraception)
• Blood- borne viruses (hepatitis B/ C, HIV)— testing as needed; hepatitis
B vaccination to injecting drug misusers not already infected/ immune,
and close contacts of those infected— use an accelerated regimen—
immunization at 0, 7, and 21d, and a booster after 12mo
Patient is unaware that
Relapse
Can occur at any stage. Not a failure
but a learning experience to improve

MANAGEMENT OFDRUGSMISUSE
• Referral for specialist assessment/ treatment of drug misuse. 0 Patients
requiring substitute prescribing (e.g. with methadone/ buprenorphine
for heroin misuse) should be referred to a specialist treatment centre
Prescription benzodiazepineaddiction E p. 169
Prescription opioidmisuse Suspect if taking long- term opioid medi-
cation for any non- cancer condition, particularly if drug- seeking behaviour
(e.g. early requests/ requests for replacement medication), refusal to see a
GP for reviews, or reluctance/ refusal to d the dose of opioids.
Action Discuss your concerns with the patient directly. Oer patients the
option of referral to a specialist drug treatment centre for substitute prescribing with methadone/ buprenorphine, or detoxication.
Detoxication Convert patients on patches to long- acting oral medication. Agree a gradually d dose of opioid, e.g. 10– 25% of the dose/ mo.
0Patients who detoxify should be warned of the risk of overdose if they
relapse and restart opioids again at the same dose. Monitor frequently.
Opioid withdrawalsymptoms
• Within 24h muscle aches; restlessness/ anxiety; watering eyes/ runny
nose; excessive sweating; yawning; inability to sleep
• Later Diarrhoea; abdominal cramps; goosebumps (‘cold turkey’);
nausea/ vomiting; blurred vision and dilated pupils; tachycardia; i BP
Safe injectingadvice Provide information about safer routes of drug
administration, e.g. smoking/ rectal administration for heroin abusers.
Discourage IM/ subcutaneous administration. Advise:
• Safe injecting— never inject alone; always inject with the blood ow;
rotate sites— avoid neck, groin, penis, axilla, foot and hand veins,
and any infected areas/ swollen limbs. 0 Poor veins indicate poor
technique— nd out what the patient is doing
• Drugs/ equipment— sterile injecting equipment with small- bore needle;
dispose of equipment safely after use; avoid unsuitable preparations, e.g.
crushed tablets and/ or drug cocktails
• First aid— learn basic principles of rst aid/ CPR; encourage calling for
an ambulance. Suggest a naloxone kit (available from drug treatment
centres)— d deaths from opioid overdose
Opioid overdose riskfactors
• Injecting heroin
• Longer injecting career
• Depression, suicidal thoughts
• Lowered tolerance through detoxication/ imprisonment
• Multiple drug use— particularly CNS depressants
• Sharing equipment/ other high- risk injecting behaviour— may indicate
low concern about personal risk
• Not being on/ premature exit from a methadone treatment programme
• Recent non- fatal overdose
• High levels of use/ intoxication
• High levels of alcohol use

CHAPTER7 Healthyliving
Insomnia
From the Latin meaning ‘no sleep’: describes a perception of disturbed
or inadequate sleep. ~1:4 of the UK population (♀ > ♂) are thought to
suer in varying degrees. Prevalence:i with age, rising to 1 in 2 amongst
the over 65s.
Causes Numerous— common examples include:
• Minor, self- limiting— travel, stress, shift work, small children, arousal
• Psychological ~½ have mental health problems:depression, anxiety,
mania, grief, alcoholism
• Physical— drugs (e.g. steroids), pain, pruritus, tinnitus, sweats (e.g.
menopause), nocturia, asthma, obstructive sleep apnoea
Denition of‘a good night’s sleep’
• <30min to fall asleep
• Maintenance of sleep for 6– 8h
• <3 brief awakenings/ night
• Feels well rested and refreshed on awakening
Management ofinsomnia
Careful evaluation. Many do not have a sleep problem themselves but a
relative feels there is a problem, e.g. the retired milkman continuing to wake
at 4 a.m. Others have unrealistic expectations, e.g. they need 12h sleep/ d.
Reassurance alone may be all that is needed.
For genuine problems withinsomnia
• Eliminate physical problems preventing sleep, e.g. treat asthma/ eczema;
give long- acting painkillers to last the whole night; consider HRT or
clonidine for sweats; refer if obstructive sleep apnoea is suspected
(E p. 308)
• Treat psychiatric problems, e.g. depression, anxiety
• Sleep hygiene— see Box 7.2
• Relaxation techniques— podcasts; relaxation classes (often oered by
local recreation centres/ adult education centres); many physiotherapists
can also teach relaxation techniques
• Consider drug treatment only as a last resort. Benzodiazepines should
be prescribed for insomnia ‘only when it is severe, disabling, or subjecting
the individual to extreme distress’
0 Only prescribe a few weeks’ supply at a time due to potential for
dependence and abuse. Never put benzodiazepines or z- drugs on repeat
prescription for sleeping problems. Beware the temporary resident who
has ‘forgotten’ his/ her night sedation.
Drug treatment Benzodiazepines (e.g. temazepam), zolpidem, zopiclone,
and low- dose TCA (e.g. amitriptyline 10– 75mg) nocte are all commonly
prescribed for patients with insomnia. Side eects include amnesia and daytime somnolence. Most hypnotics do aect daytime performance and may
cause falls in the elderly. Warn patients about their eect on driving and
operating machinery

INSOMNIA
Box 7.2 Principles of‘sleep hygiene’
• Don’t go to bed until you feel sleepy
• Don’t stay in bed if you’re not asleep
• Avoid daytime naps
• Establish a regular bedtime routine
• Reserve a room for sleep only (if possible). Do not eat, read, work,
or watch TV in it
• Make sure the bedroom and bed are comfortable, and avoid extremes
of noise and temperature
• Avoid caeine, alcohol, and nicotine
• Have a warm bath and warm milky drink at bedtime
• Take regular exercise, but avoid late night hard exercise (sex is OK)
• Monitor your sleep with a sleep diary (record both the times you
sleep and its quality)
• Rise at the same time every morning regardless of how long
you’ve slept
Complications ofinsomnia
• Reduced quality of life
• Reduced concentration/ memory— may aect performance of
daytime tasks
• Relationship problems
• Risk of accidents— 10% of motor accidents are related to tiredness
Obstructive sleep apnoea E p. 308 Sleepwalking E p. 891
Night terrors E p. 891 Restless legs E p. 552
Addiction to prescription benzodiazepines and z- drugs
Common in primary care. Regular use of hypnotics for insomnia rapidly
leads to tolerance (in <1mo). Long- term use results in decline in cognitive
functioning and blunting of emotions. In older people, hypnotic use is also
associated with i falls and associated injuries. However, stopping the drugs
results in rebound insomnia and other eects which may be severe including
anxiety, panic attacks, muscle pain, and rarely seizures.
Stopping hypnotics Discuss stopping hypnotics with any patient who has
had regular prescriptions for >3mo. Explain long- term risks of taking these
drugs. Switch to an equivalent dose of diazepam and agree a schedule for
reduction— usually 1mg every 2wk, although can be slower if necessary.
Withdrawal symptoms tend to occur 2– 10d after reduction in dose.
Dose equivalence 5mg diazepam is approximately equivalent to 10mg temazepam, 5mg nitrazepam, 500mcg lorazepam, 15mg chlordiazepoxide,
15mg oxazepam, 7.5mg zopiclone, or 10mg zolpidem.

CHAPTER8 Chronic disease and elderlycare
Chronic diseasemanagement
The predominant disease pattern in the developed world is one of chronic
or long- term illness. In the UK, 41% of adult ♂ and 43% of adult ♀ report
a long- term illness. This gure is increasing as our population ages. People
with long- term conditions are very intensive users of services; they account
for 52% of GP appointments, 65% of outpatient appointments, and 77% of
hospital bed days.
Long- term conditions frequently managed in general practice include:
• Back pain
• Cancer
• DM
• Dementia
• Chronic neurological conditions, e.g. Parkinson’s disease, MS
• Psychiatric illness, e.g. depression, psychosis
Although details of chronic illness management depend on the illness,
people with chronic diseases of all types have much in common with each
other. They all have similar concerns/ problems and must deal not only with
their disease(s) but also its impact on their lives/ emotions.
Common patientconcerns
• Finding and using health services
• Finding and using other community resources
• Knowing how to recognize/ respond to changes in a chronic disease
• Dealing with problems and emergencies
• Making decisions about when to seek medical help
• Using medicines and treatments eectively
• Knowing how to manage stress/ depression that goes with chronic illness
• Coping with fatigue, pain, and sleep problems
• Getting enough exercise
• Maintaining good nutrition
• Working with your doctor(s) and other care providers
• Talking about your illness with family and friends
• Managing work, family, and social activities
• HIV
• Arthritis of all types
• Chronic lung disease
• Cardiovascular disease, e.g. i BP, heart disease, stroke
• Renal or liver failure
• Irritable bowel syndrome
• Inammatory bowel disease
Common elements ofeective chronic illnessmanagement
• Involvement of the whole family Chronic diseases do not only aect the
patient but everyone in a family
• Collaboration between service providers, patients, and carers
Negotiate and agree a denition of the problem; agree targets and goals
for management; develop an individualized self- management plan
• Personalized written care plan Take into account patients’/ carers’ views
and experience and the current evidence base
• Tailored education in self- management Apatient with diabetes spends
7 3h/ y with a health professional— the other 8757h he or she manages
his/ her own condition. Helping patients with chronic disease understand
and take responsibility for their conditions is vital
• Planned follow- up Proactive follow- up according to the care plan— use
of disease registers and call– recall systems is important

https://t.me/med1917
CHRONIC DISEASEMANAGEMENT
• Monitoring of outcome and adherence to treatment Use of disease/
treatment markers; monitoring of concordance, e.g. checking prescription
frequency; medicine management programmes— E p. 116
• Tools and protocols for stepped care Provide a framework for using
limited resources to greatest eect; step professional care in intensity—
start with limited professional input and systematic monitoring, then
augment care for patients not achieving an acceptable outcome
• Targeted use of specialist services For those patients who cannot be
managed in primary care alone
• Monitoring of process Continually monitor management through clinical
governance mechanisms (E p. 52)
Multimorbidity E p. 174
Depression and chronic disease
people with chronic disease. It is reported to aect 30– 50% of those with
epilepsy, CVD, dementia, cancer, type 2 DM, and arthritis.
Interaction betweendepression and chronic physicalillness Depression
in those with chronic medical illnesses adversely aects prognosis.
Conversely, treatment of depression can improve prognosis.
Depression is associated with:
• i mortality, i morbidity, i disability, and poorer quality of life
• i prevalence of smoking and sedentary lifestyles
• Poorer chronic disease outcome measures, e.g. higher HbA1c levels
• i use of services and i healthcare costs
• Poor concordance with medication and management plans
Detection of depression Use NICE depression screening questions:
• During the last month, have you often been bothered by feeling down,
depressed, or hopeless?
• During the last month, have you often been bothered by having little
interest or pleasure in doing things?
A positive response to either of these questions should prompt further
assessment with the following 3 questions:During the last month have you
often been bothered by:
• Feelings of worthlessness? • Thoughts of death?
• Poor concentration?
Further assessment and management E p. 978
N
Depression is common among
Residential care homes 220,000 people live in residential care in
England; 77% are elderly with long- term health conditions. Of younger
residents, 61% have learning disabilities, 21% have mental illness, 17% have
physical disability, and 2% have substance misuse problems. Chronic disease
management for residents of care homes is frequently neglected. Ensure
that chronic disease management checks take place including routine blood
monitoring, physical health checks, and medication review.
