Understanding Adolescent Co-occurring Disorders and the Movement towards a more Effective Continuum of Community Care

Michael Dennis, Ph.D.Chestnut Health Systems, Normal, IL

Presentation on November 4, 2008 at a conference on “Continuum of Community Care (Models of Systems of Care) for Adolescents with Co-Occurring Disorders: Best Practices and Model Programs from around the Country“ sponsored by OdysseyNH and the Cassey Foundation. This presentation reports on treatment & research funded by the Center for Substance Abuse Treatment (CSAT), Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) under contracts 270-2003-00006 and 270-07-0191, as well as several individual CSAT, NIAAA, NIDA and private foundation grants.

1. Examine the prevalence, course, and consequences of adolescent substance use, co-occurring disorders and the unmet need for treatment overall

2. Summarize major trends in the adolescent treatment system and New Hampshire

3. Highlight what it takes to move the field towards evidenced-based practice related to assessment, treatment, program evaluation and planning

4. Present the findings from several recent treatment studies on substance abuse treatment research, trauma and violence/crime

Goals of this Presentation are to

With repeated use, there is a cumulative

effect of reduced brain activity which

requires increasingly more stimulation (i.e.,

Key Implications

Adolescence is the peak period of risk for and actual on-set of substance use disorders

Adolescent substance use can have short and long terms costs to society

There are real and often lasting consequence of adolescent substance use on brain functioning and brain development

Earlier Intervention during adolescence and young adult hood can reduce the duration of addiction careers

Marijuana and Alcohol are the most common problems

Page 27: Understanding Adolescent Co-occurring Disorders and the Movement towards a more Effective Continuum of Community Care Michael Dennis, Ph.D. Chestnut Health

27

Summary of Problems in the Treatment System

The public systems is changing size, referral source, and focus

Less than 50% stay 50 days (~7 weeks) Less the 25% stay the 3 months recommended by

NIDA researchers Less than half have positive discharges After intensive treatment, less than 10% step down to

outpatient care Major problems are not reliably assessed (if at all) Difficult to link assessment data to placement or

treatment planning decisions

Page 28: Understanding Adolescent Co-occurring Disorders and the Movement towards a more Effective Continuum of Community Care Michael Dennis, Ph.D. Chestnut Health

28

So what does it mean to move the field towards Evidence Based Practice (EBP)?

Introducing explicit intervention protocols that are– Targeted at specific problems/subgroups and outcomes– Having explicit quality assurance procedures to cause adherence

at the individual level and implementation at the program level

Having the ability to evaluate performance and outcomes – For the same program over time, – Relative to other interventions

Introducing reliable and valid assessment that can be used – At the individual level to immediately guide clinical judgments

about diagnosis/severity, placement, treatment planning, and the response to treatment

– At the program level to drive program evaluation, needs assessment, performance monitoring and long term program planning

Page 29: Understanding Adolescent Co-occurring Disorders and the Movement towards a more Effective Continuum of Community Care Michael Dennis, Ph.D. Chestnut Health

29

Major Predictors of Bigger Effects

1. Chose a strong intervention protocol based on prior evidence

2. Used quality assurance to ensure protocol adherence and project implementation

3. Used proactive case supervision of individual

4. Used triage to focus on the highest severity subgroup

Other Protocols Targeted at Specific Issues:

Detoxification services and medication, particularly related to opioid and methamphetamine use

Tobacco cessation Adolescent psychiatric services related to depression,

anxiety, ADHD, and conduct disorder Trauma, suicide ideation, & parasuicidal behavior Need for child maltreatment interventions (not just

reporting protocols) HIV Intervention to reduce high risk pattern of sexual

behavior Anger Management Problems with family, school, work, and probation Recovery coaches, recovery schools, recovery housing and

other adolescent oriented self help groups / services

On-site proactive urine testing can be used to reduce false negatives by more than half

Reduction in false negative reports at no

additional cost Effects grow when

protocol is repeated

Page 34: Understanding Adolescent Co-occurring Disorders and the Movement towards a more Effective Continuum of Community Care Michael Dennis, Ph.D. Chestnut Health

34

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 wellSource: Adapted from Lipsey, 1997, 2005

Page 35: Understanding Adolescent Co-occurring Disorders and the Movement towards a more Effective Continuum of Community Care Michael Dennis, Ph.D. Chestnut Health

35

Implications of Implementation Science

Can identify complex and simple protocols that improve outcomes

Interventions have to be reliably delivered in order to achieve reliable outcomes

Simple targeted protocols can make a big difference

Need for reliable assessment of need, implementation, and outcomes

Context Circa 1997 Cannabis had become more potent, was associated with a wide of

problems (particularly when combined with alcohol), and had become the leading substances mentioned in arrests, emergency room admissions, autopsies, and treatment admissions (doubling in in 5 years)

Over 80% of adolescents with Cannabis problems were being seen in outpatient setting

The median length of stay was 6 weeks, with only 25% making it 3 months

There were no published manuals targeting adolescent marijuana users in outpatient treatment

The purpose of CYT was to manualize five promising protocols, field test their relative effectiveness, cost, and benefit-cost and provide them to the field

Post script on ACC

The ACC intervention improved adolescent adherence to the continuing care expectations of both residential and outpatient staff; doing so improved the rates of short term abstinence and, consequently, long term abstinence.

Despite these GAINs, many adolescents in ACC (and more in UCC) did not adhere to continuing care plans.

The ACC1 main findings are published and findings from two subsequent experiments are currently under review

CSAT is currently replicating ACRA/ACC in 32 sites

The ACC manual is being distributed via the website and the CD you have been provided.

Page 99: Understanding Adolescent Co-occurring Disorders and the Movement towards a more Effective Continuum of Community Care Michael Dennis, Ph.D. Chestnut Health

Need for Tracks, Phases and Continuing Care

Almost a third of the adolescents are “returning” to treatment, 23% for the second or more time

We need to understand what did and did not work the last time and have alternative approaches

We need tracks or phases that recognize that they may need something different or be frustrated by repeating the same material again and again

We need to have better step down and continuing care protocols

Page 100: Understanding Adolescent Co-occurring Disorders and the Movement towards a more Effective Continuum of Community Care Michael Dennis, Ph.D. Chestnut Health

100

Recommendations for Further Developments…

Evidenced based interventions can come from both research and practice

Evidence based interventions can improve implementation of treatment and treatment outcomes

Practice based evidence can be used to improve outcomes and is of equal importance

Evidenced based interventions and their outcomes can be replicated in practice

Continuing care and is a key determinant of long term outcomes

Page 101: Understanding Adolescent Co-occurring Disorders and the Movement towards a more Effective Continuum of Community Care Michael Dennis, Ph.D. Chestnut Health

101

Recommendations for Further Developments…

We need to target the latter phases of treatment to impact the post-treatment recovery environment and/or social risk groups that are the main predictors of long term relapse

We need to move beyond focusing on acute episodes of care to focus on continuing care and a recovery management paradigm

We need to better understand the impact of involvement in juvenile justice system and how it can be harnessed to help

More work is need on the use of schools as a location for providing primary treatment (they have entrée to the population and appear to be the venue of choice) and recovery-schools to provide support for those coming out of residential treatment
