Effectiveness of a Hospital Addiction Service in Treating Opioid and Alcohol Addiction (H-SOAP)
Randomized Controlled Trial on the Effectiveness of Immediate Versus Delayed Access to Hospital-based Addiction Services
Hypothesis: Patients who are addicted to opioids or alcohol will have reduced substance use, health care utilization if they have immediate and convenient access to pharmacotherapy and addiction counselling.
Summary: This randomized trial will compare two different interventions for 124 alcohol and opioid-addicted patients admitted to either Women's Own Detox (WOD) at the University Health Network or the Withdrawal Management Service (WMS) at Saint Michael's Hospital (SMH. The Delayed Intervention group will receive a card with contact information for the St. Michael's Hospital and Women's College Hospital addiction medicine services. The Rapid Intervention group will be seen by an addiction physician from one of these services, within a day or two of their admission to the WOD or the SMH WMS. The addiction physician will prescribe buprenorphine or anti-alcohol medications, and the physician, nurse and/or therapist will provide ongoing counseling, follow-up and shared care with the family physician. Outcomes (measured at 6 and 12 months) include treatment retention, health care utilization and cost, medications prescribed, and alcohol and opioid use.

其他:Opioid dependent
Subjects with a possible opioid use disorder, as determined by positive responses on the eligibility form: has used opioids within the past 30 days, opioid use has been a problem, and at least one harmful consequence of opioid use has been present (eg.
withdrawal symptoms, or problems with family, friends, work, money etc.).
|
Subjects randomized to the DI group will be given a card with the number for the usual Substance Use Service, where they will be seen within 2-4 weeks (standard practice).
If they attend the Substance Use Service they will be offered supportive counseling, pharmacotherapy, and information on community treatment resources.
Subjects randomized to the RI group will be seen in the Substance Use Service at within 1-2 days of study enrolment.
The Research Assistant will book the appointment and arrange transportation.
At the Substance Use Service they will be offered supportive counseling, pharmacotherapy, and information on community treatment resources.
|
|
其他:Alcohol dependent
Patients who indicate they have a problem with alcohol will be asked to complete the AUDIT, a validated, 10-item instrument that measures the severity of an alcohol problem.
The AUDIT enquires about core features of alcohol dependence, such as failure to fulfill obligations.
A score of 8 or more indicates possible alcohol dependence.

For each subject the ICES (Institute for Clinical Evaluative Sciences) linked administrative databases will be used to track, from 24 months before to 12 months after the initial visit: a) the number of hospitalizations and number of hospital days (Canadian Institute for Health Information (CIHI) Discharge Abstract Database), b) Emergency Department (ED) visits (CIHI National Ambulatory Care Reporting System), c) primary care visits and outpatient laboratory services (Ontario Health Information Plan Database).
During the monthly telephone calls and at the 6 and 12 month visits, the Research Assistant (RA) will ask subjects about recent ED visits, hospitalizations and outpatient medical visits
