Abstract
INTRODUCTION Substance use disorders (SUD) and associated problems are highly prevalent but often undetected in patients with Severe Mental Illness (SMI). This study investigates the prevalence, under-detection, and variables associated with a high risk of SUD in a Dutch sample of adult outpatient SMI patients (N = 83). METHODS Substance use (The Tobacco, Alcohol, Prescription medication, and other Substance use -TAPS-tool), quality of life (Manchester Short Assessment of Quality of Life-MANSA), general functioning (Health of the Nation Outcome Scale-HoNOS), DSM-5 classifications and patient characteristics (age, education, marital status) were assessed. Detection of SUD was determined by calculating % agreement of DSM-5 classification to TAPS outcome. A logistic regression analysis was performed to determine the association of patient characteristics, quality of life and general functioning to an increased risk of SUD as determined by the TAPS. RESULTS Concerning prevalence, 89% of the patients used tobacco, above guideline-recommended daily limits of alcohol, illicit drugs or prescription medications for nonmedical purposes. Almost all smokers, half of the alcohol users and three-quarter of the patients that use marihuana or stimulant drugs had a high risk of SUD. All patients with high risk of SUD associated with alcohol, drugs or medications also had SUD associated with tobacco use. Concerning under detection less than half of the patients with a high risk of SUD according the TAPS had a SUD in their DSM-5 classification. Gender, partner, age and satisfaction about the relationship with family had a significant association with a high risk of SUD. CONCLUSIONS Screening for addiction in an SMI sample with the TAPS-tool revealed a high prevalence of substance use and a high risk of SUD. TAPS outcomes compared to the clinically obtained DSM-5 classification revealed a high degree of under-detection of substance use problems. Smoking seems to pose a specific additional risk of addiction and deserves more attention in treatment to achieve greater health care benefits.

Clinical care of patients with dual disorders in India: diverse models of care delivery. ADVANCES IN DUAL DIAGNOSIS 2022. [DOI: 10.1108/add-09-2022-0025] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Indexed: 11/16/2022]
Abstract
Purpose
This study aims to offer an overview of the models of clinical care of the patients with dual disorders in India.
Design/methodology/approach
All the members of the Dual Diagnosis India Network (DDIN) who shared the clinical care delivery at their center were invited to share the details of their model. In addition, an invite was also sent to those members who could not attend the online session but were interested in contributing the required information about their model. The information shared by the respondents was collated. The different models were then categorized based on their features.
Findings
Following the categorization of the clinical care services organization across different settings, five different models emerged. These were specialized dual diagnosis clinic; services for dual disorders offered as substance use disorder (SUD) treatment services within general psychiatry care; services for dual disorders in general psychiatry care; services for dual disorders offered as SUD treatment services separated from general psychiatry care; and services for dual disorders offered in general psychiatry services combined with exclusive SUD treatment services.
Originality/value
Currently, there is limited literature on models of dual disorders from the low- and middle-income countries. The authors believe that the documentation of these models from India shall be of help while setting up services for dual disorders in other health-care settings. This study can be a valuable resource for making informed choices while setting up new services.

Abstract
AIM To evaluate the prevalence of substance use disorder (SUD) and its association with the course and outcome of bipolar disorder (BD). MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 773 patients with BD were recruited from 14 centers in different parts of India, and they were evaluated for the prevalence of comorbid substance dependence, course and outcome, subjective cognitive functioning, and disability. RESULTS About one-fourth (22.9%) of the participants had one or more substance dependence. In terms of specific substance of abuse, 136 (17.6%) had nicotine dependence, 80 (10.3%) patients had alcohol dependence, 13 (1.7%) had cannabis dependence, and nine (1.2%) had opioid dependence. Compared to those without comorbid substance dependence, those with a dual diagnosis (i.e., using at least one substance in a dependent pattern) were less educated, more often males, more often currently single, more often employed, had a lower number of depressive episodes per year of illness, had a higher number of manic and mixed episodes per year of illness in the first 5 years of illness, had a higher level of disability, and more often had a history of hospitalization and a history of receiving electroconvulsive therapy (ECT); also, a higher proportion of them had manic predominant polarity, more often had recurrent mania course, and were more often receiving a combination of lithium and valproate. CONCLUSION About one-fourth of BD patients have comorbid SUDs, and presence of SUD has a negative impact on the course and outcome of BD.

Kaur A, Lal R, Sen MS, Sarkar S. Comparison of Recovery Capital in Patients with Alcohol and Opioid Dependence - An Exploratory Study. ADDICTION & HEALTH 2022; 14:105-114. [PMID: 36544508 PMCID: PMC9743817 DOI: 10.22122/ahj.2022.196722.1314] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Download PDF] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/09/2021] [Accepted: 01/12/2022] [Indexed: 12/24/2022]
Abstract
Background Recovery capital helps in the assessment of the personal strengths and challenges that exist in an individual with substance use which may have an impact on recovery process. This study aims at finding out the factors which help such individuals to sustain their recovery and how these factors differ across the two groups of people suffering from Alcohol Dependence Syndrome and Opioid Dependence Syndrome. Methods A cross-sectional observational was designed where sociodemographic and clinical variables, the recovery capital ARC (Assessment of Recovery Capital) Scale and Severity of substance use SDS (Severity of Dependence) Scale of patients diagnosed with Alcohol Dependence Syndrome (ADS group) and those with Opioid Dependence Syndrome (ODS group) were assessed among patients not reporting withdrawal symptoms. Findings A total of 49 subjects in the ODS group and 30 subjects in the ADS group were enrolled. The majority of the subjects in both groups were married, belonged to urban areas, practiced Hinduism, and were living in nuclear families. There was a significant difference between the educational status (p<0.001), religion practiced (p<0.001), age of onset of dependence (p<0.001), severity of dependence (p=0.11), and duration of abstinence (p<0.001) between the ADS and ODS groups. The mean scores on ARC Scale were 45.9 (S.D. =3.5) in the ODS group and 47.4 (S.D. =4.3) in the ADS group. ADS group had higher scores in Social Support Domain (p=0.034) and Housing and Safety domain (p=0.025). Other domains like global health, citizenship, meaningful activities, risk-taking, coping, and recovery experience did not significantly differ between the groups. Conclusion This study aims at comparing the recovery capital of ADS patients with ODS patients. It also suggests that tailored treatment plans for people with ADS and ODS especially in housing and social support and common treatment approach in other domains of recovery will help them sustain the state for a longer term.

Kirsch DE, Lippard ET. Early life stress and substance use disorders: The critical role of adolescent substance use. Pharmacol Biochem Behav 2022; 215:173360.

Abstract
Early life stress (ELS) is a well-established risk factor for many psychiatric and medical disorders, including substance use disorders (SUDs). The relationship between ELS and SUDs is complex and there are likely multiple pathways from ELS to adverse substance use outcomes. The association between ELS and substance use emerges in adolescence. Adolescence is a critical period in development during which substance exposure markedly increases risk for SUDs. Therefore, this review focuses on the literature supporting the hypothesis that ELS increases risk for the development of SUDs through its influence on adolescent substance use. We discuss studies substantiating the role of ELS in adolescent substance use and explore how internalizing and externalizing psychopathology may be antecedents of substance use in adolescence. We examine clinical work suggesting ELS sculpts the Hypothalamic-Pituitary-Adrenal (HPA) Axis and developing brain-particularly subcortical brain regions that underlie stress response, mesocorticolimbic brain systems associated with reward sensitivity, and prefrontal regions that underlie executive control-in a way that increases risk for adolescent substance use and SUDs. We further explore how substance use during adolescence alters structure and function of these same systems, and how brain changes following ELS and adolescent substance use may independently, additively, or interactively contribute to risk for addiction. We conclude by discussing how the current literature can inform interventions aimed at reducing risk for SUDs in individuals with a history of ELS.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Understanding the pattern of co-occurring mental illness in patients with substance use disorders (SUDs) is essential in improving the prevention and treatment of substance use-related problems. This study examined the pattern of SUDs, the associated co-occurring psychiatric morbidities, and associated factors among patients with SUDs managed at a tertiary health center. METHODS The records of patients who presented with SUDs between 2010 and 2019 were examined. Socio-demographics of interest were extracted from case files. Substance use diagnoses, as well as associated co-occurring mental illness, were extracted and entered into SPSS software. Bivariate analyses including the risk of developing co-occurring mental disorder were calculated. FINDINGS For most patients, the initiation of substance use was before the age of 21 years, while the onset of SUDs was between 21-30 years. Cannabis use disorders (CUDs), alcohol use disorders (AUDs), and nicotine use disorders (NUDs) were the commonest SUDs. Compared with those with CUDs, non-users of cannabis were significantly less likely to develop co-occurring mental illness [odds ratio (OR) = 0.25, 95% confidence interval (CI) =0.13-0.42, P = 0.001]. Those with tramadol use disorders (OR = 2.13, 95% CI = 1.03-4.41, P = 0.040) and those without pentazocine use disorders (P = 0.003) were more likely to have a comorbid mental illness. Patients with AUDs (P = 0.001), CUDs (P = 0.001), NUDs (P = 0.001), and tramadol use disorders (P = 0.045) were significantly more likely to be multiple substance users. CONCLUSION Results suggest an association between SUDs and co-occurring mental illness, though differences in these associations were noticed across the categories of substances. This emphasizes a holistic approach to prevention and care of patients presenting with SUDs.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Age-at-onset (AAO) affects psychiatric disorder outcome; substance (SUDs) or alcohol use disorders (AUDs) may influence their onset. Affective temperaments may affect early AAO and drug-use proneness. Objectives: To investigate whether SUD/AUD moderated temperamental effects in determining AAO of mental disorders. Methods: We included 300 post-acute inpatients with schizophrenia-spectrum and other psychotic (SSOPDs), major depressive (MDD) or bipolar (BD) disorders (168 men; mean age, 40.63 years ± 11.82 men, 43.21 years ± 12.69 women) with (N = 110) or without (N = 190) SUD/AUD. Patients completed cross-sectionally TEMPS-A. We carried moderation analysis with each regression-significant TEMPS temperament as independent variable, SUD/AUD presence/absence as dichotomous moderator, and AAO as dependent variable. Significance was set at p < 0.05. Results: AAO was lower in patients with SUD/AUD diagnosis than in patients without (23.74 ± 10.09 vs. 27.73 ± 10.35, respectively, p = 0.001, η2 = 0.034). SUD/AUD patients scored higher on the hyperthymic (10.22 ± 4.08, p < 0.001, η2 = 0.069) and irritable (8.26 ± 4.69, p < 0.01, η2 = 0.026) temperaments than nonSUD/AUD patients. Moderation analysis showed only direct effects of irritable (β = -0.55, p < 0.005) and hyperthymic (β = -0.95, p < 0.001) temperaments on AAO and no significant SUD/AUD and interaction effects. Limitations. Cross-sectional design. Conclusions: When irritable and hyperthymic traits prevail over other temperaments, AAO is earlier in SSOPDs, MDD, and BD. SUD/AUD presence/absence does not moderate the relationship between temperament and AAO.

Abstract
Substance use is a major public health concern and its consequences can destroy someone's life. This study aimed to explore the legal and social consequences of substance use in Bangladesh. We conducted a nationwide descriptive cross-sectional study among relapse cases of substance use from January to December 2018. We visited 138 drug rehabilitation centers countrywide and were able to recruit 939 relapse cases, from where 28 cases were excluded due to incomplete data. Finally, data from 911 cases were analyzed. The majority (89.3%) of the study participants were 19-45 years old. Most commonly used drugs were amphetamine (76.1%), cannabis (75.0%), alcohol (54.3%), cough sirup (54.2%), heroin (47.0%) and sleeping pills (21.6%). Almost half (49.5%) of the substance users were arrested for drug use and among arrested cases, 52.1% were sent to jail. About 75% of the substance users experienced a lack of family interaction, 70% experienced destroyed family relationships, and 71.4% faced social stigma. Our study also found 60% of the participants were bullied, 50% were deprived or unwilling to have social interactions. Moreover, 13.8% of the participants left home, while 8% got divorced. Our data represented the significant impact of substance use on the legal aspect and social life of individuals. However, with a multi-dimensional treatment, rehabilitation, and social intervention approach, it is not impossible to overcome. Therefore, we believe it is imperative to focus on social awareness and to create a robust platform for health promotion and improve quality of life.
