Co-Occurring, Opioid Use, and Cannabis Use Disorder Treatment Planning

Treatment planning for adults with complex mental health, substance use, and physical health needs involved understanding stages of change and system navigation.  Collaborating with these individuals on their wellness and recovery planning requires motivational approaches and often interventions that are more effective for early stage readiness.  The prevalence of cannabis and opioid use makes these cases even more demanding to navigate. 

Add to this, the opioid crisis in the U.S. Since 1999, sales of opioids in the U.S. have quadrupled. From 1999-2015, more than 180,000 people died from overdoses related to prescription opioids. In Michigan, in 2017, there were 1,600 opioid overdose deaths, an increase of 57% from 2016. It is now the #1 cause of accidental death for people under 50.  The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) have issued recommendations that include a preference for non-pharmacological therapy. This presentation will provide an overview of a biopsychosocial model of pain, current best practices in pain management, and treatment planning and interventions. Finally, social justice issues for pain management will be addressed with constructs to improve organizationally and individually.
