Q&A

23.6 million people in the US meet clinical
standards for substance use disorders (alcohol
& drug)

Only 2.3 million in treatment at any given time

90% are not getting treatment!

Where are the other 20 million? Are they in
primary care clinics, emergency rooms, the
workplace, etc.

Alcohol-related disorders occur in up to 26%of
general population, a prevalence rate similar to
those for other chronic diseases such as
hypertension and diabetes
(Fleming and Barry, 1992)

“72 conditions requiring hospitalizations are
wholly or partially attributable to substance
abuse“
(Center on Addiction and Substance Abuse, 1993, p. 21).

Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.



Excessive alcohol use causes an estimated
79,000 deaths per year in the United States.
Close to half of these deaths (approximately
36,000 annually) result from chronic alcoholrelated illnesses rather than acute causes such
as motor vehicle crashes and falls.
In the cancer category, the top alcohol-related
deaths are from cancer of the liver, head and
neck, esophagus, and female breast.
The second most common MHSA diagnosis for
adults ages 18–64 was substance-related
disorders, which was noted in about 10 percent
of all hospital stays for this age group.
(HCUP Fact Book No 10 – Care of Adults With Mental Health and Substance Abuse
Disorders in the US Community Hospitals, 2004)

including cirrhosis, cancer, heart disease,
stroke, traumatic injury, and depression.
Hypertension is associated with heavy
drinking
Trauma, disability
Sexual dysfunction
HIV/AIDS, other STDs
Weight gain (alcohol) , weight loss (stimulants)

 Less Frequent relapses
 Fewer alcohol-related consequences
 Reduced hospital stays and medical
complications
Screen Patients (self-screening) in
Legacy Clinics with 3 Simple Questions

Sensitivity and Specificity = 81% for
alcohol or drug abuse or
dependence.
(Brown, JABFP: Vinson, Annals of Family Med, 2004)
The 3 Questions Are……….
1) In the past year, have you ever drunk alcohol or
used drugs more than you meant to?*
2) In the past year, have you ever thought you should
cut down on your alcohol and drug use?*
* Positive response = anything but a definite “no.”
3) Men – when was the last time you had more than 5
drinks at one time (positive response = within last
3 months)
3) Women – when was the last time you had more
than 4 drinks at one time (positive response =
within last 3 months)
