22 Suboxone Puts switch in the halfway yposition WITHDRAWAL RELIEF

23 Clinical Opiate Withdrawal Scale C.O.W.S. Patients are given a score based upon the severity of eleven different withdrawal symptoms. 1. Pulse 5. Restlessness 9. Muscle/joint/bone aches 2. GI symptoms 6. Yawning 10. Goosebumps 3. Sweating 7. Pupil size 11. Runny nose/tearing 4. Shakes 8. Anxiety

24 Begin Suboxone when light switch is at least halfway off COWS of 8 to 10 For short acting opiates, this is typically between 12 to 24 hours after last use. For methadone it can take longer to reach this point, so start low, go slow is recommended with the last dose being at least 48 hours ago. Daily dose should ideally be less than 20mg in order to switch to Suboxone. o

25 DAY 1 DAY 2 DAY 3 DAY 4 DAY 5 AM 4 mg 8mg 10 mg 12 mg 12 mg PM 2 mg 2 mg 2 mg 2 mg Total 8 mg 10 mg 12 mg 12 mg

26 The goal of therapy is to get to a dose with no withdrawal and no cravings. This can usually be achieved with a once daily dose. If a patient finds split dosing works better, they should rigorously adhere to this schedule every day. This maintenance dose is recommended for at least 6 months. Ad detox is typically done with a two week ktaper.

27 Got a dollar bill in my pocket Got half a tank in my truck Gonna go and pawn Grandma s locket Hell, maybe it ll change my luck Ain t nothin gonna be right no how Cause I know I can t ever lose This devil that s draggin me down And the Oxycontin Blues Oxycontin Blues, Steve Earle

28 Opioid Dependence Physical dependence - a physiological state of adaptation to opioids Withdrawal syndrome with abstinence Relief of withdrawal with reintroduction As little as two weeks at therapeutic doses

29 Opioid Dependence Psychological dependence - subjective sense of need for opioids Positive effects Avoidance of negative effects associated with abstinence

30 Opioid Dependence Physical dependence does not equal psychological dependence. Physical dependence usually accompanies psychological dependence.

31 Addiction A primary, chronic disease with - genetic, - psychosocial and - environmental factors influencing its development and manifestations. It is often progressive, fatal and characterized by - impaired control, - preoccupation with use and - continued use despite adverse consequences. These symptoms may be continuous or periodic.

32 Addiction Latin for given over or awarded to, from ad - to + dicere - say, pronounce U2 - lifeless lifeline, running to stand still C.S. Lewis - an ever increasing craving for an ever diminishing pleasure.
