Factors Among Methadone Decedents
 41% prescribed methadone; 30% no Rx
 Prescriptions: 43% pain; 26% methadone
maintenance
 In 77%, abuse contributed to death
 75% history of substance abuse
 21% history of substance abuse treatment
 52% history of mental illness

Pain Medication Misuse
2008: Oregon is 5th highest state for nonmedical use of
prescription painkillers*
6.6% of persons >12 years
8.2% of persons 12-17 years
17.9% of persons 18-25 years – highest in any US
state
2013: Oregon is THE highest state for nonmedical use of
prescription pain relievers:

– 7.4% of persons 12-17 years
– 15% of persons 18-25 years
SAMHSA- 2008, 2013 National Survey on Drug Use and Health, state
level data
Summary
 53% of drug overdoses in Oregon associated with
prescription opioids
– Overall: 540% increase in since 1999
– Methadone: 1,500% increase in deaths since 1999
– 33% of all drug-related deaths (licit and illicit)
associated with methadone

ADDRESSING THE EPIDEMIC
Back at Home…
 Providers:
- Aware of lack of evidence and risks of opiates
- Trying to grapple with patient expectation that “ a pill will make me pain free”
- Lack of patient engagement with alternative modalities for pain management
- Clinic sessions clogged with patients needing refills
- Calls from the Medical Examiner when a death occurred
 Staff
- Struggling with phone calls and walkins for refills
- Managing behavioral issues when refills not granted as expected
Step 1: Establish Uniform Oversight and Prescribing
Guidelines
Controlled Substances Review
Committee:
• Reviews all episodes of serious
misuse or misconduct
• Reviews all requested new starts
on chronic opiate therapy
• Provides guidance for complex
pain management cases
Early prescribing guidelines:
• When to refer to CSRC
• Prescribing to patient on
methadone maintenance, in A&D
treatment
• Process for new opiate starts
• Other contra-indicated substances
Chelminski et al. BMC Health Services Research 2005, 5:3
Step 2: Integration of non-pharmacologic pain
management and addiction
• Occupational Therapy/Group Visits
• Naturopathic Medicine/Acupuncture
• Education series for providers:
•
•
•
Trigger Point Injections
Musculoskeletal Exam
Physiatry 101
• Integrated Chronic Pain and
Addictions Program –
“Hot Sauce”:
•
•
•
Led by CADC
12-week curriculum
Focus on triggers, relapse prevention,
alternative pain management
Patient, Staff and Provider Response
 Providers:
– Relieved at no longer having to “go at it alone”; “makes being strict less
personal”; “enables discussions around public health concerns”
– Appreciative that we were no longer a “juice bar”; still feel patients need to
embrace acceptance of their responsibility in pain management
– Unclear of “net benefit”of Hot Sauce program
 Staff:
– Perceived decreased burden of phone calls and walk-ins
 Patients:
– Some felt groups were supportive and helpful; others felt they were a
waste of time
– Empathy with providers over having to “answer to some committee”
Step 3: Community-Wide Approach
Death of Sam Barlow High School senior last
December ruled an overdose
13-year-old Medford boy may have died from
prescription drug overdose, police say
 Multnomah County Health Department Guidelines 2011:
– Instituted dosage ceiling limit on chronic opiate therapy
– Established absolute contra-indications to COT
– Established conditions for which chronic opiates could not be prescribed
– Community Response: Get on the train, or get run over by the train
 Oregon Prescription Drug Monitoring Program, 2011
Our Current Controlled Substances Policy
ABSOLUTE CONTRAINDICATIONS:
•
•
•
•
•
Any history of diversion
No functional improvement
No complete workup for pain diagnosis
Active substance abuse
No non-pharmacological modalities tried, or
unwillingness to try them
• Greater than 120mg daily of morphine equivalents
(40mg methadone)
• Use of marijuana (licit or illicit)
Our Current Controlled Substances Policy
RELATIVE CONTRAINDICATIONS (moving
toward absolute*):
•
•
•
•
•
•
High opiate risk score
No BH screening or undertreated BH condition
History of suicide attempt
Currently on methadone maintenance
History of misuse/overuse
Concurrent use of benzodiazepines
*While we have made judicious exceptions in these areas, evidence
and clinical experience are showing poor results

LESSONS LEARNED
Lessons Learned
 Absolute necessity and benefit of guidelines and
review committee to which we all adhere
 “Cognitive dissonance” between population level data
and the patient sitting in front of you
 While it’s great to have so many wellness resources,
patient still needs to be engaged and receptive
 Addictions/Chronic Pain program such as “Hot Sauce”
is innovative, but integration of suboxone has been the
game-changer
 Need better focus on/understanding of intersection of
trauma, addictions and chronic pain
THANK YOU!
