  2. Opioid Crisis

  3. Drug Overdose Deaths in the U.S. Number of Drug Overdose Deaths Per Year 2017 More than 4 times higher than 1999 More than peak HIV deaths in 1995 More than peak gun deaths in 1993 More than peak car crash deaths in 1972 SOURCES: https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2016/01/07/us/drug-overdose-deaths-in-the-us.html https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2017/06/05/upshot/opioid-epidemic-drug-overdose-deaths-are-rising-faster-than-ever.html NCHS, National Vital Statistics System, Mortality

  4. Opioid Overdose Deaths in the U.S.1999 – 2016 Drug overdose deaths continue to increase in the United States. From 1999 to 2016: More than 630,000 people have died from a drug overdose. More than 350,000 (56%) people died from an overdose involving any opioid, including prescription and illicit opioids. And 66% in 2016 alone. In 2016, the number of overdose deaths involving opioids (including prescription opioids and illegal opioids like heroin and illicitly manufactured fentanyl) was 5 times higher than in 1999. On average, 115 Americans die every day from an opioid overdose. For American Indians and Alaska Natives, 8.4 per 100,000 experience opioid related fatalities, representing 3 times the death rate for Black Americans and Hispanic Whites.

  5. THE OPIOID EPIDEMIC *Roughly 25% of patients misuse prescribed Opioids for chronic pain *80% of Heroin users misused prescription opioids first

  6. OPIOIDS • What is an opioid? • Derived from opium, that activate opioid receptors, commonly used for pain relief. • Includes: • Prescription opioids: hydrocodone (Vicodin), oxycodone (OxyContin, Percocet), morphine, codeine, and fentanyl. • Illicitly produced opioids: heroin and fentanyl. • Opioids used in medication assisted treatments: Methadone and buprenorphine (Suboxone)

  7. DEVELOPING OUD • Opioids reduce the sensation of pain broadly and can make a person feel relaxed and produce a state of euphoria. • When used for extended time or without medical need, one can develop opioid dependence/opioid use disorder. • “Uncontrollable, compulsive drug seeking and use, even in the face of negative health and social consequences.” • Believed to be associated with the brain’s reward pathways (dopamine). • Ending the use of opioids can be difficult on one’s own. There is no one treatment option best for everyone, but medications are available to assist patients in their path toward wellness and recovery. 8-12% Of people prescribed opioids for chronic pain develop OUD1. 1 – NIH National Institute on Drug Abuse

  8. SIHC Approach • safe, effective, non-addictive strategies to manage chronic pain • new, innovative medications and technologies to treat opioid use disorders • improved overdose prevention and reversal interventionsto save lives and support recovery

  9. MEDICATION-ASSISTEDTREATMENT (MAT) • Medication Assisted Treatment (MAT) is the use of federally approved medications, in combination with counseling and behavioral health therapies, to provide a “whole-patient” approach to the treatment of substance use disorders. • Opioid Use Disorder

  10. MATAT SIHC • The Office-Based MATProgram at SIHC is a funded program through the Tribal Opioid Response Grant by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration. • The goals of the MAT program is to increase access to medication assisted treatment for opioid use disorder in our community by providing: • Increasing # providers with DEA waivers • Referral to counseling/behavioral health services • Care coordination • Drug screening • Prescription drug monitoring • Community outreach and education

  11. (MAT) MEDICATION ASSISTED TREATMENT • The use of medications in conjunction with behavioral therapies and counseling to treat substance use disorder and prevent overdose.

  12. OPIOID OVERDOSE • The brain has many receptors for opioids. An overdose occurs when too much of an opioid (heroin, OxyContin, Percocet) fits in too many receptors, stopping the person’s breathing. • Naloxone has a stronger affinity to the opioid receptors than opioid drugs, so it knocks the opioids off the receptors for a short time. This allows the person to breathe again and reverses the overdose.

  13. CHALLENGES IN MAT • Stigma • Stigma continues to be the primary obstacle in increasing a community’s capacity to address this epidemic. • Treatment availability gap • Classic forms of treatment and culture may not be supportive

  14. ADRESSING CHALLENGES • Stigma • Community Outreach and Education at health fairs and events • MAT on ROAM • Practice non-judgement (educate staff and providers about appropriate language and terms) • Treatment availability gap: • Encouraging providers at SIHC to obtain DEA waivers to prescribe buprenorphine • Collaborating with Kumeyayy Family Services and La Posta Substance Abuse Centers • To increase access to counseling • Referral to Behavioral Health Services • Honoring cultural beliefs and practices • By ensuring that our policy and procedures emphasize the community and family, the importance of relationships and respect for clients, especially elders and practice an open-door policy.
