CHANGE, CHALLENGE & OPPORTUNITY – SUBSTANCE ABUSE AND ADDICTION
IN A CHANGING HEALTH CARE ENVIRONMENT
3
TODAY’S DISCUSSION
4
NATIONALLY – SUBSTANCE ABUSE
~ 22.1 million persons aged 12 + were classified with substance dependence or abuse in the past year (8.7 percent)
• 4.2 million illicit drugs
• 15.0 million alcohol
• 2.9 million classified with dependence or abuse of both
5
UPTICKS IN SUBSTANCE ABUSE
Use of illicit drugs ↑ between 2008 and 2010 • 2010: 22.6 million (8.9 percent of those 12+) current illicit
drug users• 2009: Rate of 8.7 percent • 2008: Rate of 8.0 percent
Use of marijuana ↑ from 2007 to 2010 • 2010: 6.9 percent (17.4 million) • 2007: 5.8 percent (14.4 million)
Continuing ↑ in rate of current illicit drug use among young adults aged 18 to 25 • 2010: 21.5 percent• 2009: 21.2 percent• 2008: 19.6 percent
6
Current methamphetamine users ↓ by ~ half• 731,000 people (0.3 percent) in 2006 to 353,000
(0.1 percent) in 2010
Current Cocaine users ↓ (2006 to 2010)• 2.4 million current users in 2006 to 1.5 million in
2010
6
AREAS OF IMPROVEMENT
7
AREAS OF IMPROVEMENT – ALCOHOL
Alcohol Use Among Underage Persons (12-20) ↓ (2002 to 2010)• Current alcohol ↓ 28.8 to 26.3 percent • Binge drinking ↓ 19.3 to 17.0 percent• Heavy drinking ↓ 6.2 to 5.1 percent
Current Use Varies by Age• 18-20 year olds ↓ 51.0 to 48.9 percent• 16-17 year olds ↓ 32.6 to 24.6 percent• 14-15 year olds ↓ 16.6 to 12.4 percent• 12-13 year olds ↓ 4.3 to 3.1 percent
Binge Drinking Varies by College Enrollment• In college more likely to drink, drink heavily and binge drink
8
FULL OF CHALLENGES…FULL OF OPPORTUNITIESA Day in the Life of American Adolescents
On an average day in the U.S., adolescents (12-17)• 508,000 drink alcohol
• 641,000 use illicit drugs • > than 1 million smoke cigarettes
Adolescents who used substances for the first time on an average day: ● Approximately 7,500 alcohol● Approximately 4,360 used an illicit drug● Around 3,900 smoked cigarettes● Nearly 3,700 used marijuana● Approximately 2,500 abused pain relievers
9
UNDERAGE DRINKING ↓, BUT…
~5,000 young people die each year from injuries caused by underage drinking – stagnant
> 67 percent of young people who start drinking before age 15 will try an illicit drug
> 4 in 10 who begin drinking before age 15 eventually become dependent on alcohol
Six million children (9 percent) live with at least one parent who abuses alcohol or other drugs
Young people with a major depressive episode are twice as likely to take a 1st drink or use drugs for the 1st time as those who do not experience such an episode
10
ON COLLEGE CAMPUSES
Adults who begin drinking alcohol before age 21 are more likely to have an alcohol dependence or abuse disorder than those who had their first drink after age 21
Nearly 6,000 students (ages 18 - 24) injured under the influence of alcohol
>1,800 students die from alcohol-related causes
More than 150,000 students develop an alcohol-related health problem
As many as 1.5 percent of students report a suicide attempt due to drinking or drug use
11
~30 % of deaths by suicide involved alcohol ~30 % of deaths by suicide involved alcohol intoxication – BAC at or above legal limitintoxication – BAC at or above legal limit
4 other substances were identified in ~10% of tested victims – amphetamines, cocaine, opiates (prescription & heroin), marijuana
SUICIDE, ALCOHOL, AND DRUGS
12
TREATMENT EPISODES DATA (TEDS)
In 2010: 1,820,737 SA Treatment Admissions Five Substance Groups Accounted for 96 Percent of
Primary Substances Reported • Alcohol: 41 percent• Opiates: 23 percent • Marijuana: 18 percent• Cocaine: 8 percent• Methamphetamine/Amphetamines: 6 percent
13
TREND DATA:TREATMENT ADMISSIONS
2000 – 2010 Treatment Admission Rates (per 100,000 population) for Persons 12 and Older
• Overall admissions ↑ 4 percent
• 400 percent ↑ for abuse of prescription pain relievers
• Rates for opiates (other than heroin) were between 272 and 774 percent ↑ in 9 of 9 Census divisions
• 27 percent ↑ methamphetamine/amphetamines
• 21 percent ↑ primarily related to marijuana disorders
14
PRESCRIPTION DRUG ABUSE CHALLENGES
Increasing rates of prescription drug misuse – all ages, genders, and communities
Emergency room visits involving pharmaceutical drugs misuse or abuse have doubled over the past five years; and, for the third year in a row, exceed the number of visits involving illicit drugs
25 percent of controlled substance prescriptions come from emergency departments
Over half (55.9 percent) of youth and adults who use prescription pain relievers non-medically got them from a friend or relative for free
15

RFA - STRATEGIC PREVENTION FRAMEWORK PARTNERSHIPS FOR SUCCESS II
Grants to States, to Build on Strategic Prevention Framework and Epidemiology Efforts
Prioritize Underage Drinking, Prescription Drug Abuse and/or a Third Issue Based on State’s Own Data

Interagency Coordinating Committee on the Prevention of Underage Drinking (ICCPUD)• Surgeon General’s Call to Action – Updating• Evidence-Base of Policy/Environmental Approaches • Webinar Series from Participating Departments• Common Messages for Public Education
18
ICCPUD COMMON MESSAGES
Alcohol is the drug of choice among our Nation’s young people; while they drink less frequently than adults, youth consume more when they drink
Drinking often starts at young ages, and alcohol use and binge drinking increase dramatically during adolescence
Youth who report drinking prior to the age of 15 are more likely to experience problems related to alcohol later in life
Many young people drink in extreme ways
19
ICCPUD COMMON MESSAGES (cont’d)
Underage drinking has profound negative consequences
Underage drinkers not only negatively affect themselves, they harm others
For some, underage drinking & drug use occur together; this combination increases the risk of negative consequences from both
Underage alcohol use is not inevitable – there are policies and programs that have been proven to prevent and reduce underage drinking
20

HEALTH REFORM
24
THE CHANGING HEALTH CARE ENVIRONMENT
Quality rather than quantity
Integration rather than silo’d care – parity
Prevention and wellness rather than illness
Access to coverage and care rather than significant parts of America uninsured – parity
Recovery rather than chronicity or disability
Cost controls through better care

ESSENTIAL BENEFITS – 10 SERVICE AREAS
1. Ambulatory patient services
2. Emergency services3. Hospitalization4. Maternity and newborn
care5.5. Mental health and Mental health and
substance use disorder substance use disorder services, including services, including behavioral health behavioral health treatmenttreatment
6. Prescription drugs7. Rehabilitative and
habilitative services and devices
8. Laboratory services9. Preventive and wellness
services and chronic disease management
10. Pediatric services, including oral and vision care
32
DEFINING ESSENTIAL HEALTH BENEFITS
• Encompass 10 Categories of Services & Reflect Balance Among Categories
• Reflect Typical Employer Health Benefit Plans
• Account For Diverse Health Needs Across Many Populations
• Ensure No Incentives for Coverage Decisions, Cost Sharing or Reimbursement Rates To Discriminate by Age, Disability, or Expected Length of Life
• Ensure Compliance with Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act of 2008 (MHPAEA) and the Parity Requirements of Affordable Care Act (ACA)
• Provide States a Role in Defining Essential Health Benefits (Good for BH)
• Balance Comprehensiveness and Affordability
• Assure Evidence-Based Quality Services
33
BENCHMARK APPROACH
- Serves as a Reference Plan – Reflecting Scope of Services and Limits Offered by a “Typical Employer Plan” in that State
- States Will Be Allowed to Select a Single Benchmark:• 1 of the 3 largest small group market plans • 1 of the 3 largest state employee plans• 1 of the 3 largest federal employee plans, or• The largest HMO plan in a state
34
BENCHMARK APPROACH (cont’d)
- Plans must include all 10 benefit categories regardless of what the benchmark plan covers or excludes- May supplement from other plans if category is not
sufficiently covered
- Regarding mental health and substance abuse services, parity applies
- If a State does not select a benchmark, HHS will default to the largest plan by enrollment in the largest product in the small group market
35
*BENCHMARK APPROACH (cont’d)
- HHS intends to assess the benchmark process for 2016
- Periodically review and update essential health benefits:• Difficulties with access due to coverage or cost • Changes in medical evidence or scientific advancement • Market changes • Affordability of coverage
36
QUALIFIED HEALTH PLANS – NETWORK ADEQUACY
Qualified Health Plans (QHPs) Offered through Affordable Health Exchanges (or Marketplaces)
