In the USA and Canada, mental health disorders account for 25% of all years of life lost to disability and premature mortality1
One in four American adults experience a mental health disorder in a given year, and 1 in 17 have a seriously debilitating mental illness2
Among those who die by suicide, more than 90% have a diagnosable disorder4. In 2008, suicide was the tenth leading cause of
death in the USA6.

Mental health and substance use services are integral to health care services. The goals of DMH initiatives are:◦ Ensure positive experiences of care ◦ Enhance customer services
Ensure care is effective◦ Develop bi-directional care/behavioral health homes◦ Implement data outcomes system to enable
monitoring of client progress Control/reduce costs
◦ Develop strategies to extend care◦ Develop strategies to reduce readmission and
preventable hospitalizations

What is “Primary Care Integration”?
Primary care integration is the collaboration between SUD service providers and primary care providers (e.g., FQHC’s, CHC’s)
Collaboration can take many forms along a continuum*

The Medical System Managed Care
◦ Any system that manages healthcare delivery with the aim of controlling costs.
◦ Typically a primary care physician acts as gatekeeper for other health services such as specialty medical care, surgery, or physical therapy.

Type 1 diabetes is usually diagnosed in children and young adults. The the body does not produce insulin. Only 5% of people with diabetes have this form of the disease.
Type 2 diabetes, the most common form of diabetes, either the body does not produce enough insulin or the cells ignore the insulin. Insulin takes the sugar from the blood into the cells. If insulin is not working, glucose builds up in the blood instead of going into cells, it can lead to diabetes complications. Type 2 diabetes is more common in African Americans, Latinos, Native Americans, Asian Americans, Native Hawaiians and other Pacific Islanders, as well as the aged population.
Type 1 and Type 2 Diabetes

sugar) due to insulin resistance and defects in insulin secretion.
◦Diabetes can lead to: blindness heart & blood vessel

The hemoglobin A1c test is used to determine how diabetes is being controlled.
HbA1c provides an average of your blood sugar control over a six to 12 week period.
When blood sugar is too high, sugar builds up in your blood and combines with your hemoglobin, becoming "glycated."
For people without diabetes, the normal range for the HbA1c test is 4% - 6%. The goal for people with diabetes is an hemoglobin A1c less than 7%.
Retest should occur every three months to determine level of control.

Relationship with SUD◦Heavy alcohol consumption can increase risk
factors including: body-mass index, low HDL (“good”) cholesterol and cigarette smoking (Tsumura, 1999).
◦ A history of substance use is associated with earlier age of onset of diabetes (Johnson, 2001).
◦ SUD is associated with increased mortality in diabetics (Jackson, 2007).
Significance of Behavioral Health ◦ Diabetes patients also have increased
depression. Both diet control and depression respond to behavioral activation strategies
◦ In 2006, it was the seventh leading cause of death, and cost the US $174 billion in medical costs, loss of productivity, disability costs

Medical services available on-site better link clients in SUD treatment to medical services compared to those with outside referrals (Friedmann, 1999).
Social support for abstinence can increase linkage to medical services. (Saitz, 2004).
Encourage activities that improve diabetes:◦ Better diet.◦Reduce simple carbohydrate intake (i.e.
potatoes, white bread, corn, soda, candy, sweets).
◦ More exercise.◦ Maintain regular appointments with doctor
overseeing diabetes treatment.

Blood pressure (BP) is the force against the walls of one’s arteries while blood is pumping.
Hypertension is when BP is too high.
Example BP: 120/80 mmHg (“120 over 80”)◦ Systolic (top number):
pressure while heart contracts. Normal is <120. High is >180.
◦ Diastolic (bottom number) pressure while heart relaxes & enlarges. Normal is <80. High is >80.

Three or more drinks per day increases BP & risk of hypertension in both women and men (Sesso, 2008).
Decreasing alcohol consumption associated with dose-dependent reduction in BP (Xin, 2001).
Stimulants like cocaine or amphetamines can cause HTN and other acute and chronic cardiovascular diseases. (McMahon, 2010).
HTN risk associated with quantity of cigarettes smoked daily and the duration of smoking (Orth, 2004).◦ Former smokers have higher rates of hypertension
than those who never smoked (Orth, 2004).

HTN can be well controlled in primary care for most patients (Williams 2004).◦ Some many need help finding transportation. ◦ Some may need help finding free or low-cost
clinics. Ask about alcohol consumption.
Encourage limiting to 2 or less drinks per day.
If client smokes, give advice and support to quit smoking (NICE, 2006).
Encourage weight loss and salt reduction.◦ Losing 10kg (22 lbs) can reduce systolic BP by
10 points (Cappuccio, 2007).

In 2011, at least 100 million adult Americans have common chronic pain conditions (excl. acute pain and children)*.
Pain costs society at least $560-$635 billion annually (an amount equal to about $2,000 for everyone living in the U.S.)*.
Women are more likely to experience pain (in the form of migraines, neck pain, lower back pain, or face or jaw pain) than men**.
Adults age 45-64 years were most likely to report pain lasting more than 24 hrs. (30%), followed by young adults age 20-44 (25%0, and adults age 65 and over (21%)***.

Pain: An unpleasant sensory and emotional experience arising from the actual or potential tissue damage or described in terms of such damage
It is always subjective. Each individual learns the application of the word through experiences related to injury in early life (International Association for the Study Pain [IASP])

Reciprocal Nature: Depression-Pain Relationship
65% of patients with depression experience pain
5% to 85% of patients with pain have depression
75% of primary care patients with depression present only with physical complaints and do not attribute their pain to depression
0 or 1 physical symptom - 2% were found to have depression
≥ 9 physical symptoms – 60% were depressed
Increasing pain severity, frequent pain episodes, diffuse pain, and treatment resistant pain are associated with more severe depression
In patients with pain, depression is associated with more pain complaints, greater intensity, longer duration of and greater likelihood of nonrecovery

Endocarditis: Basic Description
Endocarditis is inflammation of the inside lining of the heart chambers and heart valves (endocardium)
Usually caused by bacterial infection but can also be fungal.

Risk factorsInjection drug use increase risk: Particulate matter in injected drugs Poor injection hygiene (e.g., not cleaning
skin before injecting) Using unsterile equipment. Contaminated drug solutions. Physiological responses to certain drugs.
E.g., cocaine causes blood vessels to constrict (vasospasm) and damages cardiac tissue.
Many studies shows speedball (heroin and cocaine together) injection is a significant risk factor of bacterial infections (Phillips, 2010).

Endocarditis & Your Clients Clinical manifestations in injection drug
users:◦2/3 of patients do not display evidence of
underlying heart disease. ◦ Only 35% of IDUs demonstrate heart murmurs on
admission (Baddour, 2005). Treatment is intensive but largely
successful. ◦ Most patients need to be hospitalized.◦ Cure rates are high (85%) for right-sided
endocarditis.◦ Treatment cures infection relatively quickly (about
4 weeks). Severe cases exhibiting heart valve
damage, stroke, or heart failure may require valve replacement (NIH, 2010)

COPD Overview(Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease)
Progressive disease that makesit hard to breathe
Cigarette smoking is the leading cause of COPDCOPD includes 2 main conditions:
Emphysema: walls between air sacs are damaged decreasing the amount of gas in the lungs
Chronic Bronchitis: lining of the airways is constantly irritated and inflamed causing the lining to thicken. Thick mucus forms in the airways, making it hard to breathe
![Page 72: Thomas E. Freese, PhD tfreese@mednet.ucla.edu UCLA Integrated Substance Abuse Programs Pacific Southwest Addiction Technology Transfer Center 1](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062304/56649ddb5503460f94ad2354/html5/thumbnails/72.jpg)
Signs & SymptomsSigns of Emphysema Shortness of breath, especially during physical
activities Wheezing Chest tightness
Signs of chronic bronchitis include Having to clear your throat first thing in the
morning, especially if you smoke A chronic cough that produces yellowish sputum Shortness of breath in the later stages Frequent respiratory infections
![Page 73: Thomas E. Freese, PhD tfreese@mednet.ucla.edu UCLA Integrated Substance Abuse Programs Pacific Southwest Addiction Technology Transfer Center 1](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062304/56649ddb5503460f94ad2354/html5/thumbnails/73.jpg)
• Build-up of fluid in the lungs (acute pulmonary edema) has been reported due to use of inhaled crack cocaine and methamphetamines (Wesselius, 1997).
• Emphysema has been shown to develop secondary to IV drug use (Wesselius, 1997).
• Individuals are 3 times more likely to develop COPD when tobacco is used in conjunction with marijuana but studies are limited and evidence is inconclusive (ScienceDaily, 2009).

• Treatment depends on severity and general medical condition. It is usually managed in a primary care setting.
• Encourage your clients to stop smoking and using drugs. Provide them with smoking cessation and drug counseling options.
• Encourage compliance with medications , home oxygen therapy, and pulmonary rehabilitation (MayoClinic, 2010).
