2 2 Part 1. Chronic Nature of Addiction and the Correlates of Recovery

3 3 Understand that Addiction is a Chronic Disease / Condition Identify the major predictors of positive treatment outcomes Understand that Recovery is broader than just abstinence and takes time Science Learning Objectives

4 4 Brain Activity on PET Scan After Using Cocaine Photo courtesy of Nora Volkow, Ph.D. Mapping cocaine binding sites in human and baboon brain in vivo. Fowler JS, Volkow ND, Wolf AP, Dewey SL, Schlyer DJ, Macgregor RIR, Hitzemann R, Logan J, Bendreim B, Gatley ST. et al. Synapse 1989;4(4):371-377. Rapid rise in brain activity after taking cocaine Actually ends up lower than they started

Synapse 11:184-190, 1992; Volkow ND, Fowler JS, Wang G-J, Hitzemann R, Logan J, Schlyer D, Dewey 5, Wolf AP. Decreased dopamine D2 receptor availability is associated with reduced frontal metabolism in cocaine abusers. Synapse 14:169-177, 1993. Prolonged Substance Use Injures The Brain: Healing Takes Time Normal levels of brain activity in PET scans show up in yellow to red After 100 days of abstinence, we can see brain activity “starting” to recover Reduced brain activity after regular use can be seen even after 10 days of abstinence

7 7 Alcohol and Other Drug Abuse, Dependence and Problem Use Peaks at Age 20 Source: 2002 NSDUH and Dennis & Scott, 2007, Neumark et al., 2000 0 10 20 30 40 50 60 70 80 90 100 12-1314-1516-1718-2021-2930-3435-4950-64 65+ Other drug or heavy alcohol use in the past year Alcohol or Drug Use (AOD) Abuse or Dependence in the past year Age Severity Category Over 90% of use and problems start between the ages of 12-20 It takes decades before most recover or die Percentage People with drug dependence die an average of 22.5 years sooner than those without a diagnosis

8 8 Committing property crime, drug related crimes, gang related crimes, prostitution, and gambling to trade or get the money for alcohol or other drugs Committing more impulsive and/or violent acts while under the influence of alcohol and other drugs Crime levels peak between ages of 15-20 (periods or increased stimulation and low impulse control in the brain) Adolescent crime is still the main predictor of adult crime Parent substance use is intertwined with child maltreatment and neglect – which in turn is associated with more use, mental health problems and perpetration of violence on others Overlap with Crime and Civil Issues

10 10 People Entering Publicly Funded Treatment Generally Use For Decades P e r c e n t s t i l l u s i n g Years from first use to 1+ years of abstinence 302520151050 Source: Dennis et al., 2005 100% 90% 80% 70% 60% 50% 40% 30% 20% 10% 0% It takes 27 years before half reach 1 or more years of abstinence or die

11 11 Percent still using Years from first use to 1+ years of abstinence under 15* 21+ 15-20 Age of First Use 302520151050 Source: Dennis et al., 2005 100% 90% 80% 70% 60% 50% 40% 30% 20% 10% 0% 60% longer The Younger They Start, The Longer They Use * p<.05

12 12 Percent still using Years from first use to 1+ years of abstinence Years to first Treatment Admission* 302520151050 Source: Dennis et al., 2005 100% 90% 80% 70% 60% 50% 40% 30% 20% 10% 0% 20 or more years 0 to 9 years 10 to 19 years 57% quicker The Sooner They Get To Treatment, The Quicker They Get To Abstinence * p<.05

13 13 After Initial Treatment… Relapse is common, particularly for those who: – Are Younger – Have already been to treatment multiple times – Have more mental health issues or pain It takes an average of 3 to 4 treatment admissions over 9 years before half reach a year of abstinence Yet over 2/3rds do eventually abstain Treatment predicts who starts abstinence Self help engagement predicts who stays abstinent Source: Dennis et al., 2005, Scott et al 2005

14 14 * p<.05 The Likelihood of Sustaining Abstinence Another Year Grows Over Time 36% 66% 86% 0% 10% 20% 30% 40% 50% 60% 70% 80% 90% 100% 1 to 12 months1 to 3 years4 to 7 years Duration of Abstinence* % Sustaining Abstinence Another Year. After 1 to 3 years of abstinence, 2/3rds will make it another year After 4 years of abstinence, about 86% will make it another year Source: Dennis, Foss & Scott (2007) Only a third of people with 1 to 12 months of abstinence will sustain it another year But even after 7 years of abstinence, about 14% relapse each year 14

15 15 Source: Dennis, Foss & Scott (2007) What does recovery look like on average? Duration of Abstinence 1-12 Months 1-3 Years 4-7 Years More social and spiritual support Better mental health Housing and living situations continue to improve Dramatic rise in employment and income Dramatic drop in people living below the poverty line Virtual elimination of illegal activity and illegal income Better housing and living situations Increasing employment and income More clean and sober friends Less illegal activity and incarceration Less homelessness, violence and victimization Less use by others at home, work, and by social peers 15

16 16 Sustained Abstinence Also Reduces The Risk of Death* Source: Scott, Dennis, Laudet, Funk & Simeone (in press) - Users/Early Abstainers more likely to die in the next 12 months The Risk of Death goes down with years of sustained abstinence It takes 4 or more years of abstinence for risk to get down to community levels (Matched on Gender, Race & Age) Deaths in the next 12 months * p<.05

17 17 Other factors related to death rates Death is more likely for those who – Are older – Are engaged in illegal activity – Have chronic health conditions – Spend a lot of time in and out of hospitals – Spend a lot of time in and out of substance abuse treatment Death is less common for those who – Have a greater percent of time abstinent – Have longer periods of continuous abstinence – Get back to treatment sooner after relapse Source: Scott, Dennis, Laudet, Funk & Simeone (2011)

18 18 The Cyclical Course of Relapse, Incarceration, Treatment and Recovery (Pathway Adults) In the Community Using (53% stable) In Treatment (21% stable) In Recovery (58% stable) Incarcerated (37% stable) 6% 28% 13% 30% 8% 25% 31% 4% 44% 7% 29% 7% Treatment is the most likely path to recovery P not the same in both directions Over half change status annually Source: Scott, Dennis, & Foss (2005)

19 19 Source: Scott, Dennis, & Foss (2005) Predictors of Change Also Vary by Direction In the Community Using (53% stable) In Recovery (58% stable) 28% 29% Probability of Sustaining Abstinence - times in treatment (0.83) + Female (1.72) - homelessness (0.61)+ ASI legal composite (1.19) - number of arrests (0.89)+ # of sober friend (1.22) + per 77 self help sessions (1.82) Probability of Transitioning from Using to Abstinence - mental distress (0.88)+ older at first use (1.12) -ASI legal composite (0.84) + homelessness (1.27) + # of sober friend (1.23) + per 8 weeks in treatment (1.14)

20 20 Summary of Key Points Addiction is a brain disorder with the highest risk being during the period of adolescent to young adult brain development Addiction is chronic in the sense that it often lasts for years, the risk of relapse is high, and multiple interventions are likely to be needed Yet over two thirds of the people with addiction do achieve recovery Treatment increases the likelihood of transitioning from use to recovery Self help, peers and recovery environment help predict who stays there Recovery is broader than just abstinence

21 21 Part 2. The Need and Value of Standardized Screening

22 22 To show the large gap between need for and receipt of substance abuse treatment To demonstrate the feasibility, validity and usefulness of low cost screening to identify substance use and co-occurring mental health, monitor placement, and predict the risk of recidivism Science Learning Objectives

36 36 Summary of Key Points There is a large gap between those getting treatment and those in need, ranging from 1-20 adolescents to 1 in 11 adults The people in need are coming into contact with a range of systems that could serve as screening sites where problems could be identified and addressed before people end up in the courts Simple Screening tools are feasible, valid and useful to identify substance use disorders, co-occurring behavioral health, monitor placement and predict the risk of recidivism

37 37 Part 3. What works in Treatment?

38 38 Define what we mean by treatment Hand out NIDA handbook on the Principals of Addiction Treatment in the Justice System Identify the key predictors of effectiveness Highlight some of the serious limitations and problems of the current public treatment Science Learning Objectives

39 39 What is Treatment? Motivational Interviewing and other protocols to help them understand how their problems are related to their substance use and that they are solvable Residential, IOP and other types of structured environments to reduce short term risk of relapse Detoxification and medication to reduce pain/risk of withdrawal and relapse, including tobacco cessation Evaluation of antecedents and consequences of use Community Reinforcement Approaches (CRA) Relapse Prevention Planning Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) Proactive urine monitoring Motivational Incentives / Contingency Management Access to communities of recovery for long term support, including 12-step, recovery coaches, recovery schools, recovery housing, workplace programs Continuing care, phases for multiple admission

40 40 Other Specific Services that are Screened for and Needed by People in Treatment: Trauma, suicide ideation, and para-suicidal behavior Child maltreatment and domestic violence interventions (not just reporting protocols) Psychiatric services related to depression, anxiety, ADHD/Impulse control, conduct disorder/ ASPD/ BPD, Gambling Anger Management HIV Intervention to reduce high risk pattern of behavior (sexual, violence, & needle use) Tobacco cessation Family, school and work problems Case management and work across multiple systems of care and time

42 42 No. of Problems* by Severity of Victimization Severity of Victimization * (Alcohol, cannabis, or other drug disorder, depression, anxiety, trauma, suicide, ADHD, CD, victimization, violence/ illegal activity) Source: Dennis et al 2009; CSAT 2007 Adolescent Treatment Outcome Data Set (n=12,824) Those with high lifetime levels of victimization have 13 times higher odds of having 5+ major problems*

43 43 Components of Comprehensive Drug Addiction Treatment Recommended by NIDA www.drugabuse.gov

44 44 Two Key Resources Available from NIDA ( http://www.drugabuse.gov ) http://www.drugabuse.gov

45 45 Major Predictors of Bigger Effects 1. A strong intervention protocol based on prior evidence 2. Quality assurance to ensure protocol adherence and project implementation 3. Proactive case supervision of individual 4. Triage to focus on the highest severity subgroup

46 46 Impact of the numbers of these Favorable features on Recidivism in 509 Juvenile Justice Studies in Lipsey Meta Analysis Source: Adapted from Lipsey, 1997, 2005 Average Practice The more features, the lower the recidivism

47 47 Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) Interventions that Typically do Better than Usual Practice in Reducing Juvenile Recidivism (29% vs. 40%) Aggression Replacement Training Reasoning & Rehabilitation Moral Reconation Therapy Thinking for a Change Interpersonal Social Problem Solving MET/CBT combinations and Other manualized CBT Multisystemic Therapy (MST) Functional Family Therapy (FFT) Multidimensional Family Therapy (MDFT) Adolescent Community Reinforcement Approach (ACRA) Assertive Continuing Care Source: Adapted from Lipsey et al 2001, Waldron et al, 2001, Dennis et al, 2004 NOTE: There is generally little or no differences in mean effect size between these brand names

48 48 Impact of Simple On-site Urine Protocol with Feedback On False Negative Urines Source: Scott & Dennis (in press) On-site Urine Feedback Protocol associated with Lower False Negatives (19 v 3%)

49 49 Implementation is Essential ( Reduction in Recidivism from.50 Control Group Rate) The effect of a well implemented weak program is as big as a strong program implemented poorly The best is to have a strong program implemented well Thus one should optimally pick the strongest intervention that one can implement well Source: Adapted from Lipsey, 1997, 2005

50 Less than half stay the 90 or more days Recommended by Research Source: Office of Applied Studies 2007Discharge – Treatment Episode Data Set (TEDS) http://www.samhsa.gov/oas/dasis.htmhttp://www.samhsa.gov/oas/dasis.htm 50

51 Less than Half are Positively Discharged Source: Office of Applied Studies 2007 Discharge – Treatment Episode Data Set (TEDS) http://www.samhsa.gov/oas/dasis.htmhttp://www.samhsa.gov/oas/dasis.htm Transfer rates from higher levels of care are dismal 51

52 52 Programs often LACK Evidenced Based Assessment to Identify and Practices to Treat: Substance use disorders (e.g., abuse, dependence, withdrawal), readiness for change, relapse potential and recovery environment Common mental health disorders (e.g., conduct, attention deficit-hyperactivity, depression, anxiety, trauma, self-mutilation and suicidal thoughts) Crime and violence (e.g., inter-personal violence, drug related crime, property crime, violent crime) HIV risk behaviors (needle use, sexual risk, victimization) Child maltreatment (physical, sexual, emotional) Recovery environment and peer risk

53 53 Summary of Key Points Over half the people present to substance abuse treatment with 5 or more overlapping problems that require a range of interventions The best predictors of outcome are the use of evidenced based assessment and practice that have worked for others, have strong quality assurance, strong case supervision, and good triage of services to well defined problems. Conversely, the lack of evidenced based assessment, treatment practices and resources leads to high drop out

54 54 Part 4. What makes Drug Treatment Courts Effective?

55 55 Describe rational and key components associated with Drug Treatment Court Success Evaluate the state of the evidence on the effectiveness of drug treatment courts Highlight the most recent findings on the effectiveness of juvenile treatment drug courts (JTDC) in general versus the more comprehensive/ trauma focused Reclaiming Futures JTDC Science Learning Objectives

56 Source: French et al., 2008; Chandler et al., 2009; Capriccioso, 2004 in 2009 dollars The Cost of Treatment Episode vs. Consequences $22,000 / year to incarcerate an adult $30,000/ child-year in foster care $70,000/year to keep a child in detention $750 per night in Medical Detox $1,115 per night in hospital $13,000 per week in intensive care for premature baby $27,000 per robbery $67,000 per assault SBIRT models popular due to ease of implementation and low cost 56

57 Return on Investment (ROI) 57 Source: Bhati et al., (2008); Ettner et al., (2006) This also means that for every dollar treatment is cut, it costs society more money than was saved within the same year Substance abuse treatment has been shown to have a ROI within the year of between $1.28 to $7.26 per dollar invested Best estimates are that Treatment Drug Courts have an average ROI of $2.14 to $2.71 per dollar invested 57

58 Key Components Adult & Juvenile Treatment Drug Courts 1. Formal screening process for early identification and referral for substance use and other disorders/needs 2. Multidimensional standardized assessment to guide clinical decision-making related to diagnosis, treatment planning, placement and outcome monitoring 3. Interdisciplinary-treatment drug court team 4. Comprehensive non-adversarial team-developed treatment plan, including youth and family 5. Continuum of substance-abuse treatment and other rehabilitative services to address the youths needs 6. Use of evidence-based treatment practices 58

59 6. Monitoring progress through urine screens and weekly interdisciplinary-treatment drug court team staffings 7. Feedback to the judge followed by graduated performance-based rewards and sanctions 8. Reducing judicial involvement from weekly to monthly with evidence of favorable behavior change over a year or longer 9. Advanced agreement between parties on how on assessment information will be used to avoid self- incrimination 10. Use of information technology to connect parties and proactively monitor implementation at the client and program level Source: National Association of Drug Court Professionals, 1997; Henggeler et al., 2006; Ives et al., 2010.
