5. Background  Affective Disorders are among the most common Axis I disorders for most drugs of abuse.  26% of adults with SUDs have lifetime history of affective disorder  27% of adults with unipolar depression have lifetime history of SUDs.  Depression-SUD comorbidity is associated with poorer outcomes whether treatment targets the SUD or the depression. (e.g., Stein et al., 2004)  Outcomes for this population appear to be optimized by: (1) Integrating therapy content for both problems (1) Integrating therapy content for both problems (2) Using CBT (3) Improving retention

Those with anxiety disorders reported greater MA use frequency during 3-year follow-up compared to those without an anxiety disorder. Those with anxiety disorders reported greater MA use frequency during 3-year follow-up compared to those without an anxiety disorder. Those with anxiety disorders were more likely to have been hospitalized within the year prior to FU than those without a diagnosis (OR=1.8, 95% C.I., 1.1-2.9) and to have attempted suicide in their lifetimes (OR=3.1, 95% C.I., 2.1-4.7).

24. True or False: People who stay abstinent from methamphetamine during treatment show reductions in depression symptoms.

25. Integrated Interventions (CBT and MI)

26. Integrated Interventions  Gold standard approach for the treatment of COD; demonstrated efficacy in:  Reducing hospitalizations in substance users with comorbid affective disorders or schizophrenia (e.g., Granholm et al., 2003)  Reducing psychiatric symptoms and substance abuse among those with co-occurring SUD and PTSD (Back et al., 2010)  Improving depressive symptoms and reducing substance use among adults with SUD and major depression (Brown et al., 2006)

29. Continuing Care Approaches  Continuing care is critical, particularly within the first 6 months after treatment, given the relapsing nature of addictive disorders  Randomized continuing care trials for substance users to date have mostly excluded those with concomitant psychopathology  12-step self-help programs are the most prevalent aftercare approaches, and outcomes appear to be comparable to CBT and MET (Ouimette et al., 1997, Brown et al., 2002) for those with SUD-only.  But what about those with comorbidity?

30. Study Overview  Pilot clinical trial of integrated CBT and Motivational Therapy (CBT-MT) for Substance Dependent adults with Major Depressive Disorder (N=68)  CBT-MT addresses both depression and substance dependence with CBT and incorporates motivational exercises in each session targeting engagement and retention in continuing care for both conditions.  CBT-MT is expected to facilitate retention in treatment and to improve depression and substance use outcomes, relative to treatment as usual, a dual recovery anonymous self-help group (DRA).  Study Design: Participants receiving treatment in a day hospital program at UCLA were randomly assigned at discharge to either:  Integrated CBT and Motivational Therapy (CBT-MT)  Treatment As Usual (Dual Recovery Anonymous) (DRA)

31. Inclusion Criteria  Participants qualified for the study if they:  Were at least 18 years old  Had a diagnosis of current substance dependence (alcohol, cannabis, stimulant, or opioid)  Had a diagnosis of lifetime Major Depressive Disorder (independent of substance use)  Had current depressive symptoms >13 on the BDI Potential participants were excluded for psychosis and bipolar disorder, or suicidality warranting hospitalization.

32. Study Design  Group CBT-MT, a weekly, 12-week group intervention draws from group CBT and MI manualized treatments:  Integrated CBT for depression and SUDs (Brown et al., 2006)  Group Motivational Interviewing (Santa Ana, 2005)  Participants were assessed for depression and substance use at baseline, weekly during treatment, and 12 and 24 weeks post-treatment. Measures included:  BDI  HAM-D  Addiction Severity Index  Psychiatric Research Interview for Substance and Mental Disorders (PRISM) (Hasin et al., 2006)  We hypothesized that CBT-MT would produce superior treatment retention, depression and substance use outcomes.

42. Mindfulness Based Relapse Prevention

43. Study Overview  Pilot RCT of Mindfulness Based Relapse Prevention (MBRP) for Stimulant Users (N=62)  Mindfulness involves cultivating awareness of one’s moment-to- moment experience in a non-judgmental way.  Mindfulness is expected to improve affect regulation as well as stress reactivity, thereby reducing relapse susceptibility  Study Design: All participants receive contingency management for 12 weeks and are concurrently randomly assigned to either  Mindfulness Based Relapse Prevention (MBRP) or  Health Education

44. Beck Depression Inventory Those in the MBRP condition showed a greater reduction in depressive symptoms through 1 month post-treatment, relative to controls (p<0.03; Effect Size=0.58).

45. Beck Anxiety Inventory Those in the MBRP condition showed a greater reduction in anxiety symptoms through 1 month post-treatment, relative to controls (p<0.02; Effect Size=0.72).

46. Addiction Severity Index: Psychiatric Composite Those in the MBRP condition showed a greater reduction in overall psychiatric severity through 1 month post-treatment as compared to controls (p<0.02; Effect Size=0.61).

47. Short Inventory of Problems Those in the MBRP condition showed a greater reduction from baseline to 1 month post-treatment in problems related to stimulant dependence, as compared to controls (p<0.10; Effect Size=0.06).

48. Stimulant Use Outcomes Number of stimulant-free UA% UA that were stimulant-free Those in the MBRP condition showed comparable reductions in stimulant use during both the 4-week Contingency Management Lead-In and the subsequent 8- week Mindfulness Intervention Phase, compared to controls.

49. Stress Reactivity Before and After Treatment With Mindfulness or Health Education Control After treatment ended (right panel), cortisol levels during the hour following exposure to a laboratory stressor were elevated in a substantially larger proportion of control group participants, relative to MBRP participants, for whom post- stressor cortisol levels returned to baseline or lower.

51. Five Factor Mindfulness Scale

52. Summary In our pilot study of mindfulness based relapse prevention for stimulant users, preliminary results suggest that : In our pilot study of mindfulness based relapse prevention for stimulant users, preliminary results suggest that : This approach effectively reduces negative affect, stress reactivity, psychiatric impairment, and may reduce stimulant dependence severity. This approach effectively reduces negative affect, stress reactivity, psychiatric impairment, and may reduce stimulant dependence severity. Changes in putative psychological mechanisms underlying the effectiveness of mindfulness (e.g., emotion regulation, adoption of a mindful approach to living) are observed in this population. Changes in putative psychological mechanisms underlying the effectiveness of mindfulness (e.g., emotion regulation, adoption of a mindful approach to living) are observed in this population.

53. True or False: Mindfulness interventions were originally developed as a means of reducing stress.

54. Conclusions Clinical course and outcomes of substance users with COD are poorer across multiple domains compared to those with SUD alone. Clinical course and outcomes of substance users with COD are poorer across multiple domains compared to those with SUD alone. Integrated interventions effectively improve outcomes, both as a primary treatment strategy, and for continuing care for those with affective disorders and SUDs. Integrated interventions effectively improve outcomes, both as a primary treatment strategy, and for continuing care for those with affective disorders and SUDs. Mindfulness based interventions are a promising new target for COD, with efficacy in reducing stress reactivity, negative affect, and overall psychiatric severity among substance users.
