1 THE PULSE OPIOID EPIDEMIC IN CENTRAL OKLAHOMA YOUTH Checking our pulse is essential in monitoring our Vital Signs. The Pulse highlights a specific indicator of human well-being that is contained in United Way of Central Oklahoma s Vital Signs report or is being noticed through United Way s work in the community. As of 2015, more than four out of five prescription-related overdose deaths in Oklahoma involved opioids like oxycodone, hydrocodone, codeine, fentanyl, Demerol, and/or Lortab. 1 Sadly, Oklahoma ranks sixth highest in the nation for nonmedical use of prescription drugs among youth ages 12 to 17 years. 2 In this issue of the Pulse, we focus our attention on how dramatic increases in prescriptions, coupled with social acceptance of opioid medications, is leading to the opioid epidemic among Oklahoma youth. We also provide best practice solutions that are available in central Oklahoma to meet this growing priority need. DEFINITIONS Opioids 4 also known generically as prescription painkillers or pain relievers are natural or synthetic chemicals that reduce feelings of pain by blocking receptors in the brain. 3 This includes heroin and the prescription pain relievers morphine, hydrocodone, oxycodone, codeine, fentanyl, Demerol and Lortab. Misuse 5 Taking a prescription in a different way than your doctor prescribed. Ex: taking a higher dose or taking it more often, mixing medications with alcohol or other drugs, snorting or injecting crushed pills, etc. Taking a prescription that is not yours, even for a medical reason. Taking a medication to get high. Addiction 6 a chronic, relapsing brain disease that is characterized by compulsive drug seeking and use, despite harmful consequences. United Way of Central Oklahoma
2 UNITED STATES In the United States in over 33,000 people died due to opioid-related overdose the highest year on record. Almost 50% of opioid overdose deaths were due at least in part to a prescription opioid. 7 OKLAHOMA In Oklahoma as of out of 10 unintentional poisoning deaths include prescription drugs. 1 OKLAHOMA COUNTY UNINTENTIONAL OVERDOSE DEATHS *8 32 % Illicit drugs ** Prescription drugs 70 % Opioids are the #1 drug involved in unintentional overdose deaths in Oklahoma - Hydrocodone and oxycodone are involved in more overdose deaths than methamphetamines, cocaine, and heroin combined. 9 Misuse of prescription drugs before the age of 13 significantly increases risk of prescription drug abuse and dependence later in life. 10 RISK FACTORS FOR YOUTH SUBSTANCE ABUSE 11 Community factors Family factors School factors Peer/ individual factors Availability; low neighborhood attachment; community disorganization; and extreme economic and social deprivation Family history; family conflict; and favorable parent attitudes and involvement in the problem behavior Academic failure and lack of commitment to school Early initiation of drug use; early and persistent antisocial behavior; friends who use drugs; and gang involvement
3 OKLAHOMA RANKS 6 th in the nonmedical use of prescription drugs among youth aged 12 to HIGHEST IMPACT ON YOUTH 13.9 % 5.33 % of Oklahoma 9th through 12th graders have used prescription drugs without a doctor s prescription. 12 of Oklahoma youth aged years have used opioids for nonmedical reasons, higher than the 4.67% national average. 13 NEGATIVE EFFECTS OF DRUGS IN THE DEVELOPING ADOLESCENT BRAIN INCLUDE DISRUPTION IN THE AREAS OF BRAIN FUNCTION AND SOCIAL BEHAVIOR 6 Brain function Assessing situations Making decisions Controlling emotions/desires Addiction Motivation Memory Learning Judgment Social behavior Poor academic performance Dropping out of school At risk for unplanned pregnancies Increased risk of violence Social and family problems Health issues (including infectious disease and mental health problems) Involvement with juvenile justice system HOW DO ADOLESCENTS GET THESE DRUGS? Oklahoma students reveal most common sources for obtaining prescription drugs to get high: 9 6th grade friends, followed by doctor/pharmacy and then by family/relatives 8th grade friends, followed by home (e.g. medicine cabinet) and then at parties 10th grade friends, followed by parties and home (e.g. medicine cabinet) 12th grade friends, followed by parties and then by home (e.g. medicine cabinet)
4 OVERPRESCRIBING CONTRIBUTES TO YOUTH ACCESS Although the amount of pain Americans report has not changed since 1999, the amount of opioids prescribed was three times higher in 2015 compared to UNFINISHED opioid prescriptions are often available in home medicine cabinets OKLAHOMA RANKED 5 th for prescribing rate of opioids in 2012 and 8th for high-dose opioids 15 Oklahoma County had ONE OF THE HIGHEST opioid prescription rates in Oklahoma in OPIOID OVERDOSE SYMPTOMS CAN OCCUR WITH MEDICAL OR NONMEDICAL USE! KNOW THE SYMPTOMS Won t awaken when aroused Bluish purple skin tones for lighter skinned people or grayish or ashen tones for darker skinned people Slow, shallow, erratic or absent breathing Snore-like gurgling or choking sounds Pinpoint pupils IN THE EVENT OF AN OVERDOSE EMERGENCY Call and give naloxone, an over-the-counter medication used to reverse the effects of emergency opioid overdose. If no reaction in three minutes, give second naloxone dose. Do rescue breathing. Follow dispatcher instructions. Stay with the person until help arrives. Naloxone wears off. A person who has overdosed may experience symptoms again. Always also seek emergency care.
5 PROTECTIVE FACTORS AGAINST YOUTH SUBSTANCE ABUSE Community factors Family factors School factors Peer/ individual factors Opportunities for social involvement (e.g. sports league participation, leadership development programs, etc.). Family attachment; given responsibilities and participate in meaningful family activities; and rewarded through praise, encouragement and attention when things are done well. Opportunities for social involvement (i.e. meaningful participation in important school activities) and recognized and rewarded for those contributions. Have a moral code (i.e. what is right or wrong) and associate with peers who engage in positive social behaviors. WHAT CAN YOU DO? SAFE USE Tell your healthcare provider all medications and supplements you are taking. Do not take more medicine or take medicine more often than instructed. Never mix opioids with alcohol, benzodiazepines, sleeping pills or any illicit substance. SAFE STORAGE Store prescription opioids in a secure place, such as a locked medicine cabinet. SAFE DISPOSAL Dispose of medications promptly and properly. NEVER flush them down the toilet! CALL to find your nearest FREE disposal site. CONCERNED ABOUT ADDICTION OR OVERDOSE FOR YOURSELF OR A LOVED ONE? National Helpline HELP Call or go to takeasprescribed.org Naloxone is available and FREE in locations throughout the OKC metro and surrounding areas, go to takeasprescribed.org to find a location near you.
