CHANGING DEFINITION OF SUD
National Institute of Drug Abuse: Addiction is defined as a chronic, relapsing brain disease that is characterized by compulsive drug seeking and use, despite harmful consequences. It is considered a brain disease because drugs change the brain; they change its structure and how it works. These brain changes can be long lasting and can lead to many harmful, often self-destructive, behaviors. ASAM: Addiction is a primary, chronic disease of brain reward, motivation, memory and related circuitry. Dysfunction in these circuits leads to characteristic biological, psychological, social and spiritual manifestations. This is reflected in an individual pathologically pursuing reward and/or relief by substance use and other behaviors. Unbroken Brain (Szalavitz): Addiction is a developmental learning disorder
22.7 million individuals in the US with a SUD 2.5 million received treatment Of the 20.2 million people that did not receive treatment, 19 million did not think they needed it. Total social cost of alcohol and drug misuse is $700 billion annually

WHAT IS CHRONIC DISEASE MANAGEMENT
An integrated care approach to managing illness which includes screenings, check-ups, monitoring and coordinating treatment, and patient education. It can improve quality of life while reducing health care costs by preventing or minimizing the effects of a disease. Elements*:

Framework for SUD treatment includes services along a continuum, matched to patient need, integrated with primary care

COLLABORATIVE CARE MODEL FOR SUD
Team driven: Multidisciplinary team includes PCP, SUD care coordinator, mental health, social worker, nurse, etc. as indicated Population focused: Team responsible for the provision of care and health outcomes of defined population Measurement guided: Team uses disease-specific as well as patient reported outcome measures to drive clinical decision making Evidenced-based: Team employs scientifically proven interventions to achieve improved health outcomes

Patient outcome measures: Must be collected frequently to accurately assess recent clinical picture Must be reliable and sensitive to change Must be relatively simple and low cost to implement Must include patient-reported (not just clinician reported) data Should be tightly correlated to diagnosis

CHALLENGES TO OUR COLLABORATIVE CARE GOAL
FFS payment structure Technology—separate EHRs Lack of easy access to data from other points of care—ED,
Workforce and training
30
CHALLENGES
No national set of outcome measures for SUD Insurance/payment systems for SUD treatment do not necessarily follow patient needs Payment models do not follow collaborative care model No financial incentives to cover the cost of population health mgmt Workforce
OPPORTUNITIES
Opioid use epidemic has become a bipartisan national issue and a part of the national conversation Improved MediCal benefit for treating SUD
31
OPPORTUNITIES
System redesign to allow for continuum
Funding less county/local tax contingent Telemedicine Medical-incident to More mobility
CHALLENGES
Shorter LoS Strict definition of episode Will rates cover increased cost? 32
Technologies Medications Cognitively impaired clients (TBI, Dementia, FASD)

joint issues, ear infections) unplanned pregnancies/parenting challenges maintaining housing, employment
FASD prevalence in US estimated between 2%-5% (CDC, 2014). This number may be low because:
pregnancy, + neurodevelopmental and/or intellectual deficits OR
deficits
(CONTINUED)
Only 17% of individuals with FASD have facial dysmorphology and maternal confirmation may be impossible to obtain. And, it can be very difficult to get confirmation of PAE, particularly for adults So, if no facial dysmorphology and no maternal confirmation
SUD PREVALENCE AMONG PATIENTS WITH FASD
Of the individuals with a FASD age 12 and over, the prevalence of alcohol or drug problems was 35%. Of the adults with PAE, 53% of males and 70% of females experienced substance use problems. This is more than 5 times that of the general population.

Most FASD is undiagnosed… and individuals with FASD are at increased risk of substance use disorders… and treatment programs do not routinely screen for FASD, or modify treatment programming…
IT IS LIKELY THAT AT: a) a) FASD MAY BE FOUND AT AT A HIGHER RAT ATE AMONG OUR CLIENTS THAN THE GENERAL POPULATION. b) b) WE ARE FAILING TO IDENTIFY CLIENTS WITH FASD OR OTHER BRAIN INJURIES WITHIN OUR TREAT ATMENT PROGRAMS. c) c) WE ARE FAILING TO PROVIDE ADEQUAT ATE SUPPORT FOR OUR CLIENTS WHO MAY HAVE A FASD.
Research needed to better screen Develop and test interventions
