Management ofdrugsmisuse
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 dicult 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 certicate courses in management of drug and alcohol misuse (M www.rcgp.org.uk).
Role oftheGP
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 specic risks of drugs (Table7.5, 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
Medicalcare
• 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

MANAGEMENT OFDRUGSMISUSE
• 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 benzodiazepineaddiction E p. 169 Prescription opioidmisuse 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. Oer patients the option of referral to a specialist drug treatment centre for substitute pre­scribing with methadone/ buprenorphine, or detoxication.
Detoxication Convert patients on patches to long- acting oral medica­tion. Agree a gradually d dose of opioid, e.g. 10– 25% of the dose/ mo. 0Patients who detoxify should be warned of the risk of overdose if they relapse and restart opioids again at the same dose. Monitor frequently.
Opioid withdrawalsymptoms
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 injectingadvice 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 riskfactors
Injecting heroin
Longer injecting career
Depression, suicidal thoughts
• Lowered tolerance through detoxication/ 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

CHAPTER7 Healthyliving
Insomnia
From the Latin meaning ‘no sleep’: describes a perception of disturbed or inadequate sleep. ~1:4 of the UK population ( > ) are thought to suer 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
Denition 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 ofinsomnia
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 withinsomnia
• 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 oered 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 eects include amnesia and day­time somnolence. Most hypnotics do aect daytime performance and may cause falls in the elderly. Warn patients about their eect 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 caeine, 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 ofinsomnia
• Reduced quality of life
• Reduced concentration/ memory— may aect 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 eects 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.

CHAPTER8 Chronic disease and elderlycare
Chronic diseasemanagement
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 patientconcerns
• 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 eectively
• 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
• Inammatory bowel disease
Common elements ofeective chronic illnessmanagement
Involvement of the whole family Chronic diseases do not only aect the
patient but everyone in a family
Collaboration between service providers, patients, and carers
Negotiate and agree a denition 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 Apatient 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 DISEASEMANAGEMENT
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 eect; 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 aect 30– 50% of those with epilepsy, CVD, dementia, cancer, type 2 DM, and arthritis.
Interaction betweendepression and chronic physicalillness Depression in those with chronic medical illnesses adversely aects 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.
