Biological Response How Do Drugs Work?
Interact with neurochemistry (reward pathway of the Brain)
Results:
- Feel Good – Euphoria/reward
- Feel Better – Reduce negative feelings
Like Natural Rewards:Food, Sex

Developing a Treatment System that is Responsive

Given the Research, there has been a Paradigm Shift in Treatment Response…
Focus has increasingly shifted from an acute, model of tx towards a chronic care
model
![Page 25: A System of Care for Substance Use as a Chronic Health Problem Rachel Gonzales Ph.D, Professor Semel Institute for Neuroscience and Human Behavior David](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070411/56649f2c5503460f94c46cf9/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Shift is been important for adequately understanding and
managing substance use disorders and the recovery process

What’s the Problem with this System?
Treatment effects usually don’t last very long after acute treatment stops
Clients who are not in some form of treatment or being monitored are at elevated risk for relapse

McLellan et al., 2000 compared substance use disorders with chronic illnesses (such as diabetes, hypertension, and asthma) and
identified many similarities

Where is the State of CA in this shift?

To find out…
One place to start is with the data:
What % of your clients who complete your treatment program are being referred/transferred to another level of care (continuity of care)?

What Does this pattern mean?
These statistics highlight one of the most prominent challenges faced by the addiction treatment field today…
…many people who enter treatment do not complete the necessary course of treatment required for success
Why is this a backward approach?
![Page 51: A System of Care for Substance Use as a Chronic Health Problem Rachel Gonzales Ph.D, Professor Semel Institute for Neuroscience and Human Behavior David](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070411/56649f2c5503460f94c46cf9/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
Much Research Supports the Success of a Chronic Illness Treatment Model
When treated as a chronic illness, the relapse rates of substance dependence are as good or better than other chronic illnesses (McLellan et al., 2005)
So, continuity of care (or client transitions between levels of care) is important for keeping the client engaged in their recovery and preventing relapse
Continuity of care has been shown to be successful in leading to better “long-term” outcomes (compared to acute care):
Abstinence Addiction-related health illnesses Family relationships Legal status Psychiatric issues (including service utilization)
![Page 52: A System of Care for Substance Use as a Chronic Health Problem Rachel Gonzales Ph.D, Professor Semel Institute for Neuroscience and Human Behavior David](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070411/56649f2c5503460f94c46cf9/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)
What you (treatment programs) can do to improve these rates?
Given this issue, work with your group & brainstorm about…
![Page 53: A System of Care for Substance Use as a Chronic Health Problem Rachel Gonzales Ph.D, Professor Semel Institute for Neuroscience and Human Behavior David](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070411/56649f2c5503460f94c46cf9/html5/thumbnails/53.jpg)
Some promising practices for increasing client movement
between levels of care
![Page 54: A System of Care for Substance Use as a Chronic Health Problem Rachel Gonzales Ph.D, Professor Semel Institute for Neuroscience and Human Behavior David](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070411/56649f2c5503460f94c46cf9/html5/thumbnails/54.jpg)
Strongly encourage client engagement in continued treatment
Actively “hand-off” clients to the other level of care (establish client-counselor linkages)
Be prepared: to bypass barriers Identify what needs to be done (steps) for making the
link (transfer), such as obtaining pre-authorization or what type of transfer paperwork is involved
Address client uncertainty about what to expect Ensure that clients are informed (by alumni or staff)
about the expectations and requirements of the next level of care
![Page 55: A System of Care for Substance Use as a Chronic Health Problem Rachel Gonzales Ph.D, Professor Semel Institute for Neuroscience and Human Behavior David](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070411/56649f2c5503460f94c46cf9/html5/thumbnails/55.jpg)
Building “connected care” – developing relationships with other levels of care programs…
…This means – sharing clinical (client) information to enable continuity of care
How can you prepare for connected care?
![Page 56: A System of Care for Substance Use as a Chronic Health Problem Rachel Gonzales Ph.D, Professor Semel Institute for Neuroscience and Human Behavior David](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070411/56649f2c5503460f94c46cf9/html5/thumbnails/56.jpg)
How can you begin to make “connected care” a Reality?
Examine your current processes for collecting and managing clinical (client) information within your program
Consider the ways clinical (client) information can be shared more efficiently (with other programs).
Understand your technology platform -- is it flexible and adaptable enough to support “connected care”
Map your community -- identify addiction stakeholders in your community who your program can collaborate with to build connected care
Start the external communications process – develop some outreach tools that will enable your program to stay connected to referral/transfer sources within the addiction community (in your neighborhood)?

What is Continuing Care?
In a chronic care paradigm, it is considered an important level of care for promoting successful
transitions from clinical services to recovery
![Page 60: A System of Care for Substance Use as a Chronic Health Problem Rachel Gonzales Ph.D, Professor Semel Institute for Neuroscience and Human Behavior David](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070411/56649f2c5503460f94c46cf9/html5/thumbnails/60.jpg)
Types of Continuing Care
Traditional approaches Self/mutual help programs Regular counseling visits
Newer approaches: Medications Recovery “check-ups” Telephone-based methods
![Page 61: A System of Care for Substance Use as a Chronic Health Problem Rachel Gonzales Ph.D, Professor Semel Institute for Neuroscience and Human Behavior David](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070411/56649f2c5503460f94c46cf9/html5/thumbnails/61.jpg)
Recovery Check-ups Developed by Researchers from Chestnut Group
(Dennis, Scott et al.) Involves contacting clients every quarter for 2 years
to ask about:• Use of alcohol or drugs on > 2 weeks• Being drunk or high all day on any days• Alcohol/drug use led to not meeting responsibilities• Alcohol/drug use caused other problems• Withdrawal symptoms
…If +++, client referred to linkage manager
Provides: Personalized feedback Explores possibility of returning to treatment Schedules an intake assessment

Convenient for client
Reduces stigma of weekly trips to the treatment program
Individualized attention
Can be automated
Lower costs of ongoing care

Measurement Challenges
Currently, we don’t have a method for measuring the extent to which clients are getting continuing care or support services.
What we do know (anecdotally) – it’s grim
![Page 64: A System of Care for Substance Use as a Chronic Health Problem Rachel Gonzales Ph.D, Professor Semel Institute for Neuroscience and Human Behavior David](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070411/56649f2c5503460f94c46cf9/html5/thumbnails/64.jpg)
Why So Many Clients Don’t Get Continuing Care/Support Services
Program Level
May never get the referral
Logistical/financial disincentives
Resources Views it as the client’s
responsibility
Client Level
- Low motivation - Treatment fatigue
(ready to be finished)
