The ASAM National Practice Guideline

For the Use of Medications in the Treatment of Addiction Involving

Opioid Use

What?

The ASAM National Practice Guideline for the Use of Medications in the Treatment of Addiction Involving Opioid Use

AKA: the ASAM National Practice Guideline1st to include all FDA-approved medications in a single document

Why?

How?Developed using RAND/UCLA Appropriateness Method (RAM)• Consensus process combining scientific

evidence with clinical knowledge• Review of existing guideline and

literature• Appropriateness ratings• Necessity ratings• Document development

Who?• American Society of Addiction Medicine

(ASAM)• Treatment Research Institute (TRI)• Guideline Committee: addiction medicine;

psychiatry, obstetrics/gynecology; and internal medicine

Definitions

• Opioid Use Disorder (OUD) is a chronic, relapsing disease defined in the DSM-5

• Bio-psycho-social-spiritual illness• Addiction involving opioid use

All abbreviations and acronyms available in the ASAM National Practice Guideline

Premise

• FDA-approved medications to treat OUD are clinical and cost-effective interventions– Saves lives, saves money– One component, along with psychosocial treatment

• 30% of treatment programs offer medication• Less than half of eligible treatment program

patients receive medications• Missed opportunity to utilize most effective

treatments

Assessment

Diagnosis

Treatment

Special Populations

In Criminal Justice System

• Pharmacotherapy effective regardless of length of sentenced term

• Should get some type of pharmacotherapy and psychosocial treatment

• Opioid agonists and antagonists may be considered for treatment

• Pharmacotherapy initiated minimum 30 days prior to release

Dangerous MythMyth #3

Abrupt withdrawal from opioids in jail can be fatal.

#3 Reality

Tragic withdrawal Last May, a 25-year old male heroin user turned

himself into the county jail. He received a standard jail opioid withdrawal protocol: regular vital sign checks, Gatorade, clonidine, hydroxyzine, acetaminophen, Pepto-Bismol, loperamide, and promethazine. Three days later, he was dead. Following a comprehensive investigation including an autopsy, the DA concluded: “All the evidence indicates that [the inmate] died as a natural result of heroin withdrawal.”

Iatrogenic withdrawal

• Abrupt withdrawal of opioids in corrections can be fatal.

OVERVIEW:

Will identify best practices in evidence-based behavioral therapy in the criminal justice population, based on the 1,650-bed substance abuse and reentry program at the Illinois Department of Corrections – Sheridan Correctional Center. Heralded as one of the nation’s most comprehensive prison and reentry program models for medium/high risk men, the Sheridan program been shown to reduce recidivism by 44 percent among those who successfully complete program requirements, according to a 6.5-year longitudinal study. A first-hand perspective on the program’s design and operation and how it can be replicated at other prisons. LEARNING OBJECTIVES:• Outline the challenges face in treating opioid addiction in the

criminal justice population.

• Identify best practices in using medication-assisted treatment (MAT) for opioid addiction in the criminal justice system.

• Describe best practices in evidence-based behavioral therapy in the criminal justice population

SHERIDAN’S RECIPE FOR SUCCESS: INSTILL HOPE –

CHANGE IS POSSIBLE!• Research - Real Time Data • Experience Provider (i.e., WestCare Foundation, Inc.) • Integrated Partnership Model (e.g., IDOC, TASC,

Education, Vocational, Health, Mental Health, Community, etc.)

• Development of Community (within and beyond)• Commitment to EBPs and Best Practices + Fidelity• Risk-Need-Responsivity (RNR) Model• Continuous staff development (e.g., coaching,

mentoring)• Coaching and mentoring of clients

LESSONS LEARNED• MAT Sheridan Pilot• Understanding (e.g., street cultures,

populations, emerging drugs, etc.)

ONGOING OPPORTUNITIES AND CHALLENGES

• Risk-Need-Responsivity (RNR) Model• Trauma-informed care in a correctional

environment

RISK NEED RESPONSIVITY (RNR)

• RISK PRINCIPLE: Match the level of service to the offender's risk to re-offend.

• NEED PRINCIPLE: Assess criminogenic needs and target them in treatment.

• RESPONSIVITY PRINCIPLE: Maximize the offender's ability to learn from a rehabilitative intervention by providing cognitive behavioral treatment and tailoring the intervention to the learning style, motivation, abilities and strengths of the offender.

• “Central Eight” Risk/Need Factors:– Antisocial Personality Pattern– Procriminal Attitudes– Social Supports for Crime– Substance Abuse– Family/Marital Relationships (Poor, inappropriate, etc.)– School/Work (Poor performance)– Prosocial Recreational Activities (Lack of interest in)– Criminal History

DR. DAVID OLSEN, LOYOLA UNIVERSITY CHICAGO

Inmates who participated in the Sheridan program were less likely to be returned to prison within the average of 6.9 years following release than the comparison group.

DR. DAVID OLSEN, LOYOLA UNIVERSITY CHICAGO

• Individuals released from Sheridan were14% less likely to be returned to prison.  

• Inmates released from Sheridan who also completed a reentry plan had a 44% lower likelihood of being readmitted to prison.

• Inmates released from Sheridan that did not complete aftercare had a higher likelihood of being returned to prison.

A number of the variables produced patterns consistent with the literature on recidivism (e.g., age, race, education level, gang involvement, type of crime, more prior arrests were all more likely to return to prison than their respective reference categories).
