Drug Abuse and Addiction: Pharmacological Phenomena

411
Drug dependence, abuse, and addiction are complex phenomena that can precipitate various abnormal states. Physical dependence refers to a state of pharmacological adaptation to a drug. This adaptation often results in tolerance—a reduced response to the drug after repeated administrations. When the drug use is abruptly stopped, withdrawal symptoms occur due to the body's need to readjust from the pharmacologically induced imbalance. However, tolerance and withdrawal symptoms do not...

Substance Use Disorders Affecting Sleep

151
Substance use disorders involve a pattern of using drugs more extensively than intended and continuing use despite harmful consequences. This includes legal substances like alcohol and nicotine, as well as illegal drugs. These disorders often involve both physical and psychological dependence, reflecting compulsive use of substances that significantly alter thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, contributing to a major public health issue.
Understanding the concepts of physical dependence,...

Opioid Analgesics: Synthetic and Semisynthetic Opioids

183
Synthetic and semisynthetic opioids are pivotal in pain management and tackling opioid addiction. Semisynthetic opioids, including morphinans (morphine derivatives), oxycodone, oxymorphone, hydrocodone, and hydromorphone, have improved pharmacokinetic profiles compared to morphine. Additionally, heroin and 6-MAM (6-Monoacetylmorphine) show better CNS penetration than morphine due to heightened lipid solubility. Hydromorphone, a potent opioid, undergoes hepatic metabolism to form the active...

Drug Dependence01:17

Drug Dependence

954
Medications are typically administered to achieve therapeutic effects. Some drugs can modify an individual's mood and perception, frequently resulting in various enjoyable experiences. However, this can result in drug dependency, a condition marked by continuous drug use despite potential negative consequences. Drug dependency primarily falls into two categories: psychological and physical dependence. Psychological dependence occurs when the pleasurable feelings induced by the drug...

Opioid Analgesics: Morphine and Other Natural Cogeners

145
Opioids are a class of drugs that mimic endogenous opioid peptides and act on opioid receptors, and help in pain relief. These compounds are classified as natural, synthetic, or semi-synthetic. Natural opioids, like morphine, codeine, and thebaine, are derived from the opium poppy plant (Papaver somniferum or Papaver album) and are termed opiates. Synthetic opioids are artificial, while semi-synthetic opioids combine natural and synthetic compounds. Morphine, a prototypical opioid, possesses a...

Analgesia and Pain Management01:25

Analgesia and Pain Management

403
Pain is critical to various clinical pathologies, provoking an urgent need for effective management. Pain, whether acute or chronic, is a complex neurochemical process. Its alleviation depends on the type, with nonopioid analgesics effective for mild to moderate pain, such as musculoskeletal or inflammatory pain, while neuropathic pain responds best to anticonvulsants, tricyclic antidepressants, or serotonin/norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors. For severe acute or chronic pain, opioids may be...

Summary

Baseline characteristics predict Opioid Use Disorder (OUD) or Opioid Overdose (OD) in individuals treated for alcohol problems. Sociodemographic factors are key long-term predictors, while clinical factors predict earlier onset of OUD/OD.

Area of Science:

  • Addiction Medicine
  • Public Health
  • Clinical Psychology

Background:

  • Individuals with alcohol use disorder (AUD) are at increased risk for developing Opioid Use Disorder (OUD) and Opioid Overdose (OD).
  • Understanding predictors of OUD/OD development in this population is crucial for timely intervention and prevention strategies.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the differential predictive value of baseline client characteristics for developing OUD/OD.
  • To analyze these predictions across distinct timeframes: within 1 year, 1-4 years, and beyond 4 years post-treatment entry.

Main Methods:

  • A large cohort of 87,172 patients treated for alcohol problems in state facilities was analyzed.
  • The study identified the first OUD/OD diagnosis event within specified follow-up periods.
  • Odds ratios were calculated to assess the predictive strength of sociodemographic and clinical factors.

Main Results:

  • Both sociodemographic and clinical factors significantly predicted OUD/OD development across follow-up periods.
  • Sociodemographic factors showed stronger associations with OUD/OD in the later follow-up (beyond 4 years).
  • Mental health and alcohol use severity were more predictive of OUD within the first 1-4 years, indicating rapid progression.

Conclusions:

  • Baseline characteristics predict OUD/OD development but account for only about 40% of cases.
  • These findings underscore the necessity of formal opioid use screening at treatment initiation.
  • Implementing harm reduction strategies throughout treatment is recommended to mitigate OUD/OD risks.
