other DSM-5 criteria

craving/urge for substance, recurrent use results in failure to fulfill major role obligations, continued use despite problems, give up important activities, use in dangerous situations, use despite physical/psych problems, tolerance, withdrawal

early remission

3-12 months

sustained remission

12 months or longer

mild substance use disorder

2-3 symptoms

moderate disorder

4-5 symptoms

severe disorder

6+ symptoms

Alcohol mechanisms

enhance GABA, reduce glutamate neurotransmission; stimulates opiate and cannabinoid receptors in ventral tegmental area

highest 12-month prevalence of alcohol use disorder - ages

16.2% among 18-29 y/o

highest 12-mo prevalence of alcohol use disorder - ethnicity, 12-17 y/o

highest 12-mo prevalence of alcohol use disorder - ethnicity, adults

Native americans = 12.1%, Whites = 8.9%, Hispanics = 7.9%

diagnose alcohol use disorder

BAC, GGT >35, CDT >20, MCV, liver enzymes increased

criteria for alcohol intoxication

inappropriate sexual/aggressive behavior, mood lability, impaired judgment + >1 of: slurred speech, incoordination, unsteady gait, nystagmus (horizontal), impaired attn/memory, stupor/coma

manage alcohol intoxication

support, hemodialysis (extreme), lorazepam/haloperidol to manage agitation

alcohol withdrawal

2+: autonomic hyperactivity, increased hand tremor, insomnia, N/V, transient hallucinations, psychomotor agitation, anxiety, seizures

manage alcohol withdrawal

benzos, lorazepam/oxazepam in elderly pts/liver impaired pts, symptom-triggered therapy

other alcohol withdrawal meds

carbamazepine, valproate, clonidine, propranolol, thiamine

Alcohol Use disorder meds

Naltrexone, Acamprosate, Disulfiram




non-FDA approved: Topiramate, Ondansetron, Baclofen

Naltrexone contraindications

liver failure, patient on narcotics

Naltrexone MOA

opioid receptor antagonist

Disulfiram contraindications

seizure disorder, liver failure, dementia, really bad to mix w/ alcohol

Sedative, hypnotic, or anxiolytic substances

Benzodiazepines, barbiturates - work on GABA-A (alpha 1, 2, 3, 5)

manage benzodiazepines overdose

support, flumazenil (competitive benzo antagonist)

DSM-5 caffeine intoxication

5+: restless, excited, flushed face, GI disturbance, inexhaustibility, rambling thought/speech, tachycardia/arrhythmia, nervous, insomnia, diuresis, muscle twitching, psychomotor agitation

there is no DSM-5 caffeine...

use disorder

Caffeine withdrawal

3+: headache, fatigue/drowsy, dysphoric/depressed mood or irritability, difficulty concentrating, flu-like symptoms

Rimonabant

"MJ antagonist"; used for alcohol, nicotine, MJ dependence, metabolic syndrome and weight gain

prevalence of cannabis use disorder

highest in 12-17 y/o males (3.8%)

criteria for cannabis intoxication

impaired motor coordination, euphoria, anxiety, slowed time, impaired judgment, social withdrawal; 2+: conjunctival injection, incr. appetite, dry mouth, tachycardia

criteria for cannabis withdrawal

3+: irritable/anger/aggression, nervousness/anxiety, sleep difficulty, decr. appetite/weight loss, restless, depressed




1+: ab pain, tremors, sweating, fever, chills, H/A

Hallucinogen-related disorders

phencyclidine use/other hallucinogen use disorder has same criteria of substance use disorder except for withdrawal

Phencyclidine (PCP)

antagonist at NMDA receptors

hallucinogens and NT systems

agonist at 5HT2A receptors (main)




also: 5HT1A/2C, NorE, dopamine

PCP intoxication criteria

belligerence, assaultive, impulsive, unpredictable, psychomotor agitation, impaired judgment




2+: vertical or horizontal nystagmus, HTN/tachy, numbness/diminished pain response, ataxia, dysarthria, rigid muscles, seizure/coma, hyperacusis

treat PCP intoxication

symptoms, benzos/antipsychotics (control behaviors), gastric lavage in non-alert patients, diazepam for muscle spasms/seizures, minimal sensory stimulation, total body immobilization, ammonium chloride/cranberry juice

talking down with PCP intoxication?

not useful!!

4-point restraint with PCP intoxication?

dangerous - rhabdomyolysis

other hallucinogens intoxication criteria

2+: pupillary dilation, tachy, sweating, palpitations, blurred vision, tremors, incoordination

LSD intoxication Rx

talking down, diazepam 20 mg PO (better than talking down)

Inhalants

direct releasers of dopamine in NA; same criteria for substance use disorder w/o withdrawal

Inhalant-related disorders - substances

toluene, acetone, benzene etc.

adverse effects of inhalants

death due to asphyxiation, aspiration, resp. depression, arrhythmias, accident, injury




long term use: hepatic/renal damage, muscle damage, brain atrophy, temp. lobe epilepsy, decr. IQ, EEG changes, CV and pulm sx, GI, neuro sx

MJ use chronically <19 y/o...
