Co-Occurring Psychiatric Disorders
Recorded: Thursday, September 29, 2022 - Saturday, October 1, 2022
On-Demand Session
Overview
This 1-hour, 45-minute, on-demand session from the 2022 ASAM State of the Art Course explores new research in preventing, screening, and treating psychiatric disorders among people with substance use disorders. Topics include suicide, methamphetamine psychosis, ADHD, depression, and anxiety.
There is a high prevalence of psychiatric comorbidity among people with substance use disorders, with some studies showing as high as 80% having another mental health condition. This 1-hour, 45-minute, on-demand session from the 2022 ASAM State of the Art Course explores new research in preventing, screening, and treating psychiatric disorders among people with substance use disorders. Topics include suicide, methamphetamine psychosis, ADHD, depression, and anxiety. Following the session, a moderated panel discussion among the presenters answers audience questions.
This session is comprised of 4 presentations that deep dive into different aspects of the overall topic.
- Addiction, Overdose, Suicide & the Gray Areas in Between
About 50,000 people die each year in the USA from Suicide and another 70,000 die from Overdoses, ( 50,000 from opioids). This presentation with review data and interactions about Suicide and Overdose, including clinical presentations and possible interventions which may affect either or both problems. Clinical screening methods for suicide have been developed and tested over many years and include both clinical and demographic issues. The role of substance use disorders has not previously been fully appreciated as a major risk factor, nor intervention in substance use disorders fully appreciated as a possible suicide intervention. - Over-amped: Managing Methamphetamine Use Disorder and Methamphetamine Psychosis
Methamphetamine is among the common substances of abuse related to emergency service utilization; psychosis due to methamphetamine use may be mistaken for primary psychiatric illness but in fact requires quite different treatment. Early recognition and appropriate intervention is critical. This talk reviews the epidemiology of methamphetamine use in emergency settings and describes original data of a novel intervention for treating methamphetamine-induced psychosis. A structured, emergency department-initiated intervention illustrates core elements of engaging patients presenting with methamphetamine psychosis. - Treatment of ADHD and Substance Use Disorders
Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and Substance Use Disorders (SUD) are highly comorbid, with 15-20% of treatment-seekers for SUD having current ADHD. Individuals with SUD and ADHD are more likely to relapse and less likely to be retained in treatment than those without ADHD. To date, treatment trials targeting individuals with ADHD and SUD have produced mixed results. Data from 2 studies found that among adults with ADHD and stimulant use disorder, robust dosing produced clinically meaningful therapeutic effects on the ADHD symptoms and illicit stimulant use. However, prescribing prescription stimulants needs to be done carefully to mitigate the risks of nonmedical use and diversion. Pillars of safe prescribing include accurate diagnosis, clear and defined target outcomes and careful monitoring for misuse. - Depression and Anxiety in Patients with Addiction
Co-occurring mood and anxiety disorders are highly prevalent among patients with substance use disorders, and if left untreated, they usually have a negative impact on addiction recovery. This session will review pharmacologic treatments for mood and anxiety disorders in the context of different substance use disorders (SUD). Principles of assessment and diagnosis will be presented since it is frequently unclear as to the source of mood and anxiety symptoms in the context of SUD that may be substance-induced and may or may not reach disorder-level severity or threshold. Then, when appropriate, stepped treatment strategies will be discussed.
These sessions are intended for experienced learners and are taught an intermediate or advanced level. The target audience includes:
- Addiction medicine specialists who are interested in the latest research in the field and its translation to clinical practice
- Physicians and other healthcare professionals who treat patients with addiction and seek an advanced level of knowledge
- Scientists, researchers, public health officials and advocates dedicated to the field of addiction medicine
This conference addresses all 6 ACGME Competencies.
Learning Objectives
At the end of the course, learners should be able to:
- Discuss the important, new, scientific breakthroughs in the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of addiction.
- Critically evaluate new science and describe how it changes the current understanding of addiction and co-occurring medical or psychiatric disorders.
- Develop practical applications for integrating new and emerging science into practice.
- Identify gaps in the field of addiction medicine that future research can address.
- Create a network of colleagues and resources to support the learner's practice or form future research collaborations.
