Editor’s Corner In this fight, what you know can save a life.

Maybe it will be the guy with the nice smile who makes room on the bus during your morning commute. Maybe it will be a friend, a neighbor, or a classmate.

It could be somebody in your own family: a son, a daughter, brother, sister, mom, dad, grandchild.

An epidemic of addiction to heroin and other opioid drugs is hitting Snohomish County where it hurts most: among its people. Paradoxically, that’s the same place where the community’s best hope for tackling the crisis can be found.

Education is key to the cure.

This Overdose Prevention Resources Guide contains what you need to know to connect with resources and information that can make a difference. Learn more about crisis support and hotlines; counseling and recovery groups; treatment options, programs and providers; housing; outreach services for veterans and efforts geared toward reaching young people.

There’s practical advice on securing pain medications so they don’t wind up in the wrong hands, and options for safely disposing of prescription drugs when the need for them has passed. You’ll learn how addiction affects people, how best to talk with those in your life who are at risk, and where to obtain naloxone, the compound that can reverse the often lethal effects of an opioid overdose.

On behalf of the Snohomish Health District, Snohomish County, the Snohomish County Sheriff’s Office and others involved in the Opioid Response Multi-Agency Coordination (MAC) Group who helped make this guide a reality, we hope you find it useful. Please share what you learn, pass along the resources, and get involved.

We are a community coming together to stop Snohomish County’s opioid epidemic. We can’t do it without you!

Know Your Meds, Lock Your Meds You may hear the word “opioid” thrown around a lot, and news headlines about the opioid epidemic are now commonplace. While you may be familiar with the word, can you spot an opioid in your own home? If they are in your home, what should you to help prevent opioid misuse and abuse? Knowing more about your medications, or the medications used by your loved ones, is the first step to becoming more aware of the risks that opioids present.

The basics on opioids

Take Back Unwanted Meds How many times have you looked at a leftover bottle of prescription medication and thought, “I’ll keep these just in case I get sick again later?” Or maybe you know a person whose medicine cabinet looks like a commercial pharmacy? Perhaps you felt like getting rid of medications was more of a hassle, and just stuck the expired or unused bottle back on the shelf?

The enormity of the opioid crisis can feel overwhelming, especially with headlines warning of increased overdoses and deaths. As simple as it sounds, however, keeping current medication safely stored or locked away and quickly disposing of unused medication is a way for you to help fight the opioid epidemic.

Learn About Addiction Getting a fix. Chasing the dragon. These are just some of the street terms for using heroin, but they illustrate a thought process that perfectly describes what it means to struggle with addiction. The drugs become your singular focus. Research also shows that 1 in 4 people who try heroin becomes addicted.

So why is it that opioid addiction—or as it’s more appropriately referred to, opioid use disorder—becomes so all-consuming? To answer that question, we reached out to Dr. Caleb Banta-Green, principal research scientist with the University of Washington’s Alcohol and Drug Abuse Institute to help us unpack a little more about the science of addiction.

Prescription opioids release much higher levels of the chemicals than what our bodies naturally produce, so they can overwhelm our system and bind to places they shouldn’t. Binding to some of these other receptors can completely eliminate the sensation of pain,

points to a recent study done at Harborview that showed “no evidence that providing naloxone increases overdose or opioid use risk behaviors.”

Know How To Help When someone you care about is struggling with a substance use disorder, it can be difficult to know how to help. Here are some tips and information to help you with that person struggling in your life.

Be Supportive, With Boundaries There is a difference between supporting (helping) and enabling. Supporting someone in recovery requires clear boundaries to be set with both the user and non-user. Clear communication on what the boundaries are and sticking to them will help eliminate enabling.

You can also help by:

helping a loved one struggling with opioid use disorder can often feel guilty, isolated and ashamed. You don’t need to be trained to help, you just need to be there.

In a recent article, The Partnership for Drug-Free Kids’ president and CEO Fred Muench shared what he hoped others had done for his family while he was actively using. “When I was in the grips of active heroin addiction, I wish people who knew would have reached out to

Help Yourself Self-care is an important aspect of helping someone with a substance use disorder. What are things that you like to do? Read, take a walk, have coffee with a friend, or have a massage. Perhaps attending Al-Anon, Alateen, or Nar-Anon, or attending some counseling for yourself would be beneficial. If we don’t take care of ourselves and allow our needs to go unmet, it is difficult to help someone else.

Help Others While we are working to reduce the stigma around addiction, it still exists. Families and friends that are

ty Syringe Exchange. They offer health care services for drug users, as well as treatment referrals. There is evidence that people with an opioid use disorder are more successful in recovery if they have treatment combined with medication assisted treatment (MAT), like suboxone, Vitrol and methadone. Being supportive of the persons treatment needs is important and can improve the chance of their success.

Gaining understanding of resources is valuable to be able to support a person seeking treatment assistance.

In Snohomish County, the ACCESS line is available for a person to call to set up both a mental health and

OVERDOSE PREVENTION RESOURCE GUIDE | 2018-2019

a substance use disorder assessment. That number is 1-888-693-7200. Encouraging the person seeking help to call can be instrumental in them taking that first step to finding the help they need.

How to Stop an Overdose Learning the signs and symptoms of an overdose is also helpful (see below), as well as having naloxone in your home. Naloxone, also known as Narcan, is an opioid overdose reversal drug that can be purchased at many pharmacies in the county. It can be administered through a nose spray or injection, and improves the chance for the person overdosing to breathe until

Signs and Symptoms of an Overdose The typical signs of an overdose include:

• • • • • •

• • • • •

Loss of consciousness Unresponsive to outside stimulus Awake, but unable to talk Breathing is very slow and shallow, erratic, or has stopped Bluish purple skin tone (light skin), or grayish/ashen (darker skin) Choking sounds, or a snore-like gurgling noise (sometimes called the “death rattle”) Vomiting Body is very limp Face is very pale or clammy Fingernails and lips turn blue or purplish black Pulse (heartbeat) is slow, erratic, or not there at all

If someone is making unfamiliar sounds while sleeping, it is worth trying to wake him or her up. Many loved ones of users think a person was snoring, when in fact the person was overdosing. These situations can be a missed opportunity to intervene and save a life.

Know Who To Call Assessment? Detox? Inpatient or outpatient? It can be hard to navigate the various services and treatment options available to those who struggle with addiction. Here’s how to make sense of the services and resources available in Snohomish County.

Substance use disorder treatment professionals Many different kinds of professionals provide treatment for substance use disorders (addiction). In most treatment programs, the primary caregivers are specially trained, certified and/or licensed as substance abuse treatment counselors. Most treatment programs assign patients to a treatment team of professionals. Depending on the type of treatment, teams can be made up of social workers, counselors, doctors, nurses, psychologists, psychiatrists, or other professionals.

Clinical assessment

Detox services or Withdrawal management Acute medical detox is often the first stage of care. Detox facilities provide services for those suffering from the effects of opioid abuse and other chemical intoxications.

Withdrawing from opiates without medical assistance is not only uncomfortable, it can also be dangerous. Most detox programs provide 24-hour monitoring by professionals who are trained to identify and treat the signs and symptoms of drug or alcohol withdrawal.

Inpatient treatment Provided in special units of hospitals or medical clinics, inpatient treatment offers both detoxification and rehabilitation services.

Outpatient programs Outpatient programs provide treatment at a program site, but the person lives elsewhere (usually at home).

Outpatient treatment is offered in a variety of places: health clinics, community mental health clinics, counselors’ offices, hospital clinics, local health department offices, or residential programs with outpatient clinics.

Talk To Your Provider Opioid-based medications can be useful for pain management — especially for the severe pain someone may experience directly after surgery. However, opioid medications such as Vicodin, Percocet and OxyContin are powerful and can be deadly if not taken properly. Even if taken as directed, any opioid-based medication can have serious side effects, including addiction and overdose.

Consider other pain management options first While opioids can help to control pain at first, they are usually not necessary. Dr. Caleb Banta-Green, the principal research scientist at the University of Washington’s Alcohol & Drug Abuse Institute, cautions

Talk To Seniors Last year, AARP Bulletin’s special report “America’s Addiction to Pain Pills” put a spotlight on a side of the opioid epidemic that isn’t always mentioned: opioids and older adults. The report highlighted that nearly one-third of all Medicare patients, or close to 12 million people, were prescribed opioid painkillers by their physicians in 2015. That same year, 2.7 million Americans over 50 abused painkillers, meaning they took them for reasons or in amounts beyond what their doctors prescribed.

In 2014, Washington had the second-highest rate of opioid-related hospital stays when looking at data nationally for those 65 and older. Prescription monitoring program data in Snohomish County, meanwhile, show that among those with at least one opioid prescription in the last quarter of 2017, the number markedly increases among those 55 and over. This points to the need to talk with seniors about potential risks of opioid prescriptions, and what they can do to prevent misuse and abuse in their home.

pain medications, he said.

“We just really have to watch what our loved ones are on and ask questions,” he said, adding that advocacy is “often what makes the difference.”

In addition to taking the prescription as indicated, it’s important to know what other medications seniors are taking. Opioids can have dangerous interactions with muscle relaxers, some antibiotics, benzodiazepines (like Xanax and Valium) and others.

Monitor opioid treatments In some cases, the opioids are both necessary and beneficial to helping older adults maintain their health and independence, according to Carla Perissinoto, a geriatrician at the University of California San Francisco.

“I have patients who, unless they take their opioid, really cannot get out of bed,” she said in a recent interview with Kaiser Health News. “And if that small dose of opioid is going to help them get out of bed and move around their house and cook for themselves, then that is absolutely something worth doing. Their biggest risk is going to be if they stop moving and [decline more].

That’s going to have a bigger consequence on their health than prescribing an opioid at a reasonable dose and with close supervision.”

Prevent misuse and abuse in the home Many times, older adults are more susceptible to theft in the home due to the number of medications laying around. There is also an increased risk of poisonings, either from patients confusing medications or from young children getting into prescriptions.

These risks can all be reduced by following three simple steps: clearly marking medications; locking them up in cabinets, bags or boxes; and safely disposing of them through MED-Project once they are no longer needed.

Talk To Your Kids Half of the drug overdoses in the United States are a result of opioids. Having conversations about opioids with your kids is one way you can make an impact in the opioid crisis today.

Start the conversation early Parents can start as early as preschool when it comes to talking about medication. A great way of introducing the topic is if your child takes vitamins. Explain that vitamins are medicine, too; while they are good for you and help you grow, they can also be harmful if you take too many. The key is helping your children understand that medicine can be useful, but it can also be harmful if taken the wrong way. If you take medication or vitamins yourself, there’s a good chance your child watched you take them. Being transparent about your usage reminds children that medications are taken for a specific reason, not for fun.

Be their advocate For many children, their first experience with opioids begins after a dental procedure, a broken bone, or other serious injury. Some healthcare

from the Bree Collaborative indicate that youth under 20 should not be prescribed more than a three-day supply of opioids (less than 10 pills).

Encourage conversations often Talking about proper use of medication should be ongoing as your child gets older. As a parent, your child looks to you for help and guidance in working out problems and in making decisions, including the decision not to use drugs. By engaging them in conversation, you are creating a safe space for them to talk to you about issues they come across throughout their adolescence. It’s important to discuss why people abuse drugs and alternative ways to cope with those impending

providers prescribe opioids as a standard method for pain management. While opioid medications may be effective for treating pain in the short-term, they have an extremely high tendency for addiction and do nothing to address the underlying cause of pain. Research has shown that opioids are no better than over-the-counter medications. As your child’s advocate, you can inform the dentist or health care provider that you prefer an alternative treatment for pain management. If opioids are the best course of treatment, prescribing guidelines

issues. Remind your child that they have a support system in their friends and family.

Be honest about current or past drug use in the family Deciding whether to tell your

child about your past drug use is a personal decision.

However, your experiences and the lessons you’ve learned can better equip you to teach others. Your honesty encourages your children to also be open and honest about their own curiosities and possible experimentation with drugs. Talking about your experiences can build the foundation for ongoing conversations around this topic. You can speak the truth about addiction because you’ve survived it.

they should not be shared with anyone else. Supervise the dispensing of the medication by keeping count of the number of pills in the bottle ensure they are being taken as prescribed.

Monitor your child’s level of pain and be sure to look for signs of dependence.

Medications should be kept in a safe place where they cannot be accessed by other family members or friends. And it’s always important to dispose of any unused medication at your local MED-Project disposal

Share what you’re doing to get that individual the help they need to make healthier choices. Consider reaching out to a counselor, your community church, or a group like Alateen or Al-Anon. This allows your child to find a space to share feelings about a friend or family member’s use.

Monitor opioid prescriptions carefully It’s important to tell children and adolescents that prescribed pain medications are medically appropriate to take under the supervision of a health care provider.

Give Responsibly The opioid crisis is impacting our community in both subtle and obvious ways. We see the homeless camps and dirty needles. We also see family members, neighbors, and friends struggling to overcome debilitating addictions. For most of us, we want to help.

Compassionate donations of food and clothing often end up discarded when they are not well matched with recipients. Did you know that city and county workers spend several hours each week clearing heaps of wasted donations from public spaces? So how should we help? Here are suggestions for how you can give responsibly.

Give your time It’s important you get involved in a way and at a level you are comfortable with. Unfortunately, some well-meaning efforts aren’t effective. For example, compassionate donations of food and clothing often are unused when they are not well suited for recipients’ needs.

Donate to an organization that can provide appropriate support to those suffering from addiction or experiencing homelessness. Many of our local partners also have donation wish lists online that you can purchase items from and ship directly to them, or community events, including clothing drives. That way, there is no doubt that your generosity will be
