Co-Occurring Disorders of Substance Use & Mental Health Disorders
CEU’s: 3 hours based on request (CE Broker Tracking #: 20-615480)
Resource for Course on Coping.us:
http://www.coping.us/alcoholsubstanceuse/comorbiddisorders.html
Program Description: This program is focused on the co-occurring mental health disorders which can be co-morbid with substance use disorders according to the DSM-5 including: Schizophrenia, Bipolar Disorder, Depression, Anxiety, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, Sleep-Wake Disorders, Sexual Dysfunctions and Neurocognitive Disorders by the specific substances which have been identified as co-occurring with the specific mental health disorders. There is a need for therapists to understand the brain and neurological functions which lie as the cause of these co-morbidities. There is a need to treat co-occurring disorders in an integrated fashion and not rely on "old school" models of treating them sequentially, parallel separately or left untreated. To help bring home the application of co-morbid interventions case studies will be used widely in this workshop.
Learning Objectives
1.To learn about the tools to assess and Apps to treat these co-morbidities.
2. To learn about the neurological functions in the brain which lie as the cause of these co-morbidities.
3. To learn the rationale behind the need to use integrated treatment strategies when addressing these co-morbidities.
4. To learn about why it is impossible to just treat one condition in isolation from the other co-morbidities if one wants to gain maximal effectiveness for the patients suffering from them.

Why Substance abuse in patients with psychiatric illness?
- Enhanced reinforcement
- Mood Change
- Escape
- Hopelessness
- Poor Judgment
- Inability to appreciate consequences
Results of SUD with Psychiatric Disorder especially Bipolar Disorder
- Lower medication adherence
- Greater chance relapses
- Increased hospitalizations
- Homelessness
- Suicide
Models of Treatment for Dual Diagnosis
- Sequential – Treat SUD first then Psychiatric disorder
- Parallel – Treat both at same time but within different treatment modalities
- Integrated – Treat both at same time within the same treatment modality
Integrated Treatment Model of Treatment of Comorbid Disorders
- Cognitive‐behavioral model focuses on parallels between the disorders in recovery/relapse thoughts and behaviors
- Explores the interaction between the two disorders
- Utilizes a single disorder paradigm: “bipolar substance abuse”
- Uses a “Central Recovery Rule”
Focus of Integrated Model
- Dealing with the Psychiatric disorder without use of Alcohol &/or Drugs
- Confronting denial, ambivalence, acceptance
- Monitoring overall mood during each week
- Emphasis on compliance in taking psychiatric medications
- Identifying and fighting triggers
- Emphasis on “wellness” model of good night’s sleep, balance nutritional intake and exercise
Parallels in Recovery & Relapse thinking between Disorders
- “May as well thinking” vs. “It matters what you do”
- Abstinence violation effect vs. stopping taking psychiatric meds when anxious or depressed
- Recovery thinking vs. relapse thinking and acting out
- Remember: you’re always on the road to getting better or getting worse: “It matters what you do!”
The Central Recovery Rule
No matter what
- Don’t drink
- Don’t use drugs
- Take your medication as prescribed
No matter what

Neuroscience Look at Substance Use Disorders
Frontal (Executive) Cortical Function
- Focus attention
- Prioritize
- Exclude extraneous information
- Suppress primitive urges
- Reduce impulsivity
Non-Addict Response
“This is dangerous”
Prefrontal cortex
- Sends inhibitory signals to the Ventral Tegmental Area (VTA)
- Reduces dopamine release
No repetitive use pattern
No reinforcement of pleasure
Addict Response Pattern
“Got to have more”
Cognitive Deficit Model
Abnormalities in prefrontal cortex
- Compromised ability to send inhibitory signal to VTA
- Chronic alcoholics have reduced GABA
Neurochemical used in the inhibitory process
- Meth and Coke may damage this brain loop
- Frontostriatal loop
|
Driving Forces of Addictive Disorder
- Acute Abstinence Syndrome
- Situational and emotional triggers
- Reward and reinforcement
Tolerance
Brain cells gradually become less responsive
- More is needed to stimulate the VTA brain cells
- To cause more release of dopamine in the NAc
- To produce reward comparable to earlier experiences
Acute Abstinence Syndrome (Heroin)
Locus Coeruleus (LC)
Norepinephrine (NE)
- Wakefulness
- Breathing
- Blood pressure
- General Alertness
Heroin attaches to mu opioid receptors in LC
- Suppression of NE
- Drowsiness
- Slowed respiration
- Low blood pressure
Symptoms of the Abstinence Syndrome (Heroin)
Addicts experience- A hyper-aroused state(“fight or flight”) with
Increased :
- Heart rate
- Blood pressure
- Restlessness
- Tremors
- Hypervigilence
- Dilated pupils
Symptoms of the Abstinence Syndrome (Heroin)
Addicts experience-worst case of flu imaginable
- Nausea and vomiting
- Runny nose
- Cold,shivering
- Cramping
- Tearing
- Diarrhea
Multiple Interlocking Neurotransmitter Systems
Dopaminergic system
Serotonergic system
Noradrenergic system
Gamma amino butyric acid (GABA) system
Glutamatergic system
Acute Abstinence Syndrome
Mesolimbic Reward System
- Reduction of the VTA’s release of dopamine into Nucleus Accubens (NAc) resulting in Anhedonia
Changes in reward system are part of craving and compulsive drug use
Principles of Acute Management
- Long acting for short acting
- Intoxication not necessary
- 20-30% reduction will not precipitate an abstinence syndrome
- Long term slow withdrawal without patients knowledge of dosage best in outpatient
Alcohol Acute Abstinence Syndrome
- Activation of excitatory glutamatergic system which can induce-Seizures
- Inhibition of inhibitory GABA system
- Net effect is sympathetic nervous system hyperactivity
Medication Management of Alcohol Acute Abstinence Syndrome
Benzodiazepines
GABA agonists
- Attenuate GABA activity
- Reduce seizure risks
Long acting benzodiazepines
- Chlordiazepoxide (Librium)
- Diazepam (Valium)
- Clonazepam (Klonopin)
Alpha-2 Adrenergic Agonists-Reduce Norepinephrine activity
- Clonidine (Catapres)
- Lofexidine (Britlofex)
Beta-Adrenergic Blockers-Block peripheral symptoms
- Tremors
- Increased heart rate
- Sweating
- Propranolol (Inderal)
Medications To Reduce Alcohol Relapse Rate
Disulfiram (Antabuse)
- Inhibits liver enzyme aldehyde dehydrogenase
Revia (Naltrexone)
- Opioid antagonist
- Enhanced release of Beta-Endorphins with family history
Acamprosate
- Inhibits Glutamatergic activity
- Enhances GABA activity
Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors-Reduce amount of drinking in heavy drinkers
- Fluoxetine (Prozac)
- Citalopram (Celexa)
Topiramate (Topamax)
- Enhances GABA functioning
- Decreases Glutamatergic functioning
- Cognitive (concentration) problems
Situational and Emotional Triggers
Personality and change
Therapy/symptom match
Motivation
Psychotherapy
- Cognitive Therapy
- Behavior Therapy
Cognitive dysfunction and change
Education
Personality and Change
- Temperament
- Character
- Introvert vs. Extrovert
- Personality Disorder
- Cognitively open vs. closed
- Degree of impulsivity
- Stimulus seeking
Therapy/Symptom Match
Matching therapy to symptoms
- Cognitive-pessimism and self doubt, negative “self-talk”, “stinking thinking”
- Pharmacological-moderate to severe symptoms
- Interpersonal-social isolation and disturbed relationships
- Family/Couples-domestic conflict
- Insight-guilt, anger and emotional turmoil
- Behavioral-negative behaviors
- Motivational-no plans or ambivalence to change
All treatments ultimately affect all symptoms
Symptoms are related
Therapist must find a place to break into the circle
Motivation
- Motivational Interviewing
- Motivational Enhancement Therapy
- Evoking self-motivation
- Asking open-ended questions
- Stages of change model
Evoking Self-Motivation
Questions to ask
- What things make you think that this is a problem?
- What do you think will happen if you do not make a change?
- What are the reasons you see for making a change?
- What makes you think you need to make a change?
- What makes you think that if you decided to make a change, you could do it?
- What do you think would work for you, if you needed to change?
- How much does your use concern you?
Open-Ended Questions
What brings you here today?
- So you are here to talk about quitting.

Cognitive Dysfunction and Change
Frontal cortex vs. midbrain
Approximately 50% entering treatment suffer from cerebral (cognitive) dysfunction
- Less likely to attend continuing care
- Less likely to be employed
- Often mistaken as resistant or unmotivated
- Less able to absorb information
Stimulant addicts look like they have degenerative brain disease
Executive and visuospatial functioning problems include:
- Recent memory
- Abstraction
- Problem solving
- Cognitive flexibility
- Planning
- Rapid Response
Recovery in neuropsychological functioning - Most of treatment is during time of greatest dysfunction
Recovery is:
- Time-dependent
- Due to sustained abstinence
- Experience-dependent
- Active rehabilitation or repetitive behavior
Education
Why give a cocaine or methamphetamine addict a 60 minute didactic or video?
A new format
- 15-20 minute simple didactic - How to participate in treatment
- 10 minute questionnaire
- 30 minute discussion group
10 Minute Questionnaire
I think...
I feel...
I learned...
My future behavior will change in this way....
Reward and Reinforcement
- Mesolimbic Reward Center
- Allostasis and Anhedonia
- Environment
- Spirituality
Mesolimbic Reward System
- Drug enters the system (heroin)
- Attaches to specialized protein - Mu opioid receptor
- Activates Ventral Tegmental Area (VTA)
- Nucleus Accumbens (NAc) releases dopamine
- Pleasure (reward)
Reward and Reinforcement
Three-way link
- Environment
- Dopamine D2 Receptor function
- Drug self-administration
Allostasis and Anhedonia
6-7 second “mental orgasm”
What’s in it for me?
Allostasis
- Inability to return to previous homeostatic levels
Anhedonia
- Inability to experience pleasure
Allostasis
- Addictive drugs dysregulate the brains reward center
- Brain stabilizes at a more negative affect state
- “Normal” becomes a more negative and unpleasant reality
- “Use just to feel normal”
Anhedonia
Attributed to a lowered level of dopamine
Cocaine and methamphetamine
Selegiline (Carbex, Atapryl)
- MAOI
- Believed to restore depleted dopamine
Modafinil (Provigil)
- Treatment for Narcolepsy
- Increases mood, energy, and sense of well-being
- Reduces daytime sleepiness
Heroin
Methadone
Clonidine
Environment
- Triggers or cues (seeing, smelling, touching, tasting, and hearing)
- that remind the addict of some aspect of his/her use
- increase the desire for the reward (craving) without necessarily enhancing the pleasure of the reward itself.
- Living in an enriched environment may reduce animals self-administration of drugs
- Animal studies suggest that environmental conditions may affect the activity of dopamine
Impact the The Environment through
Case Management
Multisystem Therapy
“Wrap around” services
- Family and childcare services
