Baseline Characteristics and Postdischarge Outcomes by Medication for Opioid Use Disorder Status Among Women with Polysubstance Use in Residential Treatment.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Within residential treatment, medication for opioid use disorder (MOUD) is rarely offered, so little is known about group differences by MOUD status. This study characterizes samples of women receiving and not receiving MOUD and explores postdischarge outcomes.

Methods

This is a secondary exploratory analysis of a residential clinical trial comparing women receiving treatment as usual (TAU) with those who also received computer-based training for cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT4CBT). Participants were N = 41 adult women with substance use disorder (SUD) who self-reported lifetime polysubstance use. Because 59.0% were prescribed MOUD (MOUD n = 24, no MOUD n = 17), baseline variables were compared by MOUD status; outcomes at 12 weeks postdischarge were compared by MOUD status and treatment condition using chi square and Mann-Whitney U tests.

Results

Participants were middle-aged (41.7 ± 11.6 years) and non-Latinx Black (80.4%). Most used substances in the No MOUD group were alcohol, cocaine, and cannabis, and in the MOUD group, most used substances were opioids, cannabis, and cocaine. Women in the MOUD group tended to have more severe SUD. Postdischarge substance use recurrence rates were twice as high in the MOUD group than in the No MOUD group. Among the women in the No MOUD group, those in the CBT4CBT condition increased the number of coping strategies twice as much as those receiving TAU.

Conclusion

Postdischarge substance use recurrence differed by MOUD status. CBT4CBT may be a helpful adjunct to personalized residential SUD treatment. The parent study is registered at [www.clinicaltrials.gov (ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT03678051)].

Project description:Objective(s)To understand how contraception method use differed between women prescribed and not prescribed medications for opioid use disorder (MOUD) among commercially-insured and Medicaid-insured women.Study designIBM Watson Health MarketScan Commercial Claims and Encounters database and the Multi-State Medicaid database were used to calculate the (1) crude prevalence, and (2) adjusted odds ratios (adjusted for demographic characteristics) of using long-acting reversible or short-acting hormonal contraception methods or female sterilization compared with none of these methods (no method) in 2018 by MOUD status among women with OUD, aged 20 to 49 years, with continuous health insurance coverage through commercial insurance or Medicaid for ≥6 years. Claims data was used to define contraception use. Fisher exact test or χ2 test with a P-value ≤ 0.0001, based on the Holm-Bonferroni method, and 95% confidence intervals were used to determine statistically significant differences for prevalence estimates and adjusted odds ratios, respectively.ResultsOnly 41% of commercially-insured and Medicaid-insured women with OUD were prescribed MOUD. Medicaid-insured women with OUD prescribed MOUD had a significantly lower crude prevalence of using no method (71.1% vs 79.0%) and higher odds of using female sterilization (aOR, 1.33; 95% CI: 1.06-1.67 vs no method) than those not prescribed MOUD. Among commercially-insured women there were no differences in contraceptive use by MOUD status and 66% used no method.ConclusionsAmong women with ≥ 6 years of continuous insurance coverage, contraceptive use differed by MOUD status and insurance. Prescribing MOUD for women with OUD can be improved to ensure quality care.ImplicationsOnly two in five women with OUD had evidence of being prescribed MOUD, and majority did not use prescription contraception or female sterilization. Our findings support opportunities to improve prescribing for MOUD and integrate contraception and MOUD services to improve clinical care among women with OUD.

Project description:IntroductionThe opioid crisis is transitioning to a polydrug crisis, and individuals with co-occurring substance use disorder (SUDs) often have unique clinical characteristics and contextual barriers that influence treatment needs, engagement in treatment, complexity of treatment planning, and treatment retention.MethodsUsing Medicaid data for 2017-2018 from four states participating in a distributed research network, this retrospective cohort study documents the prevalence of specific types of co-occurring SUD among Medicaid enrollees with an opioid use disorder (OUD) diagnosis, and assesses the extent to which different SUD presentations are associated with differential patterns of MOUD and psychosocial treatments.ResultsWe find that more than half of enrollees with OUD had a co-occurring SUD, and the most prevalent co-occurring SUD was for "other psychoactive substances", indicated among about one-quarter of enrollees with OUD in each state. We also find some substantial gaps in MOUD treatment receipt and engagement for individuals with OUD and a co-occurring SUD, a group representing more than half of individuals with OUD. In most states, enrollees with OUD and alcohol, cannabis, or amphetamine use disorder are significantly less likely to receive MOUD compared to enrollees with OUD only. In contrast, enrollees with OUD and other psychoactive SUD were significantly more likely to receive MOUD treatment. Conditional on MOUD receipt, enrollees with co-occurring SUDs had 10 % to 50 % lower odds of having a 180-day period of continuous MOUD treatment, an important predictor of better patient outcomes. Associations with concurrent receipt of MOUD and behavioral counseling were mixed across states and varied depending on co-occurring SUD type.ConclusionsOverall, ongoing progress toward increasing access to and quality of evidence-based treatment for OUD requires further efforts to ensure that individuals with co-occurring SUDs are engaged and retained in effective treatment. As the opioid crisis evolves, continued changes in drug use patterns and populations experiencing harms may necessitate new policy approaches that more fully address the complex needs of a growing population of individuals with OUD and other types of SUD.

Project description:AimThis report examined naturalistic opioid use outcomes and utilization of medications for opioid use disorder (MOUD) 36 weeks post-randomization in the National Drug Abuse Treatment Clinical Trials Network (CTN) Extended-Release Naltrexone (XR-NTX) versus Buprenorphine-Naloxone (BUP-NX) for Opioid Treatment trial (CTN-0051, X:BOT).DesignX:BOT was a multisite, randomized, 24-week comparative effectiveness trial of BUP-NX (N = 287) and XR-NTX (N = 283). Study medications were discontinued following treatment completion, relapse, or dropout. Participants were encouraged to continue MOUD. This report examined opioid use outcomes in 428 (75%) of the 570 participants who attended the 36-week follow-up visit.Setting and participantsAdults with opioid use disorder recruited from 8 community treatment programs across the United States.MeasurementsOutcomes included medication status (on/off MOUD), type of MOUD (BUP-NX, XR-NTX, or methadone), abstinence from non-prescribed opioids, opioid use days, relapse, and other substance use 30 days prior to the 36-week visit. Relapse was defined as opioid use for 4 consecutive weeks or 7 consecutive days in the past month. Baseline and clinical variables included opioid use severity, intravenous drug use, study medication assignment, and induction status.FindingsOf the 428 participants who completed the 36-week visit, 225 (53%) of participants were receiving MOUD and 203 (47%) were not. Compared to those off medication, participants on medication had fewer opioid use days (4.4 days (SD 9.0) versus 9.8 days (SD 12.1)), fewer met relapse criteria (37 (16.4%) versus 79 (38.9%)), and reported less stimulant use (34 (15.2%) versus 56 (27.7%)) and sedative use (14 (6.3%) versus 31 (15.3%)). There was no difference in abstinence rates between those on or off MOUD. A greater proportion of participants on XR-NTX (47 (53.4%) of 88 participants) were abstinent from non-prescribed opioids compared to those on buprenorphine (28 (23.3%) of 120 participants).ConclusionsNaturalistic outcomes data showed that despite potential barriers to continuing treatment in the community, about half of individuals were on opioid use disorder pharmacotherapy at follow-up and those on medication generally had better outcomes. Future research should explore barriers and facilitators to treatment retention in community settings; and developing interventions tailored to improve treatment engagement and adherence.

Project description:ObjectiveTo assess trends in polysubstance use among pregnant women with opioid use disorder in the United States.MethodsWe conducted a time trend analysis of pooled, cross-sectional data from the National Inpatient Sample, an annual nationally representative sample of U.S. hospital discharge data. Among 38.0 million females aged 15-44 years with a hospitalization for delivery from 2007 to 2016, we identified 172,335 pregnant women with an International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision, Clinical Modification or International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision, Clinical Modification diagnosis of opioid use disorder. Polysubstance use among pregnant women with opioid use disorder was defined as at least one co-occurring diagnosis of other substance use, including alcohol, amphetamine, cannabis, cocaine, sedative, or tobacco. We fit weighted multivariable logistic regression models to produce nationally representative estimates, including an interaction between year and rural compared with urban county of residence; controlled for age, race, and insurance type. Average predicted probabilities and 95% CIs were derived from regression results.ResultsPolysubstance use among women with opioid use disorder increased from 60.5% (95% CI 58.3-62.8%) to 64.1% (95% CI 62.8%-65.3%). Differential time trends in polysubstance use among women with opioid use disorder were found in rural compared with urban counties. Large increases in amphetamine use occurred among those in both rural and urban counties (255.4%; 95% CI 90.5-562.9% and 150.7%; 95% CI 78.2-52.7%, respectively), similarly to tobacco use (30.4%; 95% CI 16.9-45.4% and 23.2%; 95% CI 15.3-31.6%, respectively). Cocaine use diagnoses declined among women with opioid use disorder at delivery in rural (-70.5%; 95% CI -80.4% to -55.5%) and urban (-61.9%; 95% CI -67.6% to -55.1%) counties. Alcohol use diagnoses among those with opioid use disorder declined -57% (95% CI -70.8% to -37.7%) in urban counties but did not change among those in rural counties.ConclusionOver the past decade, polysubstance use among pregnant women with opioid use disorder has increased more rapidly in rural compared with urban counties in the United States, with amphetamines and tobacco use increasing most rapidly.
