1 13. Substance Misuse Introduction Substance misuse is the harmful use of substances (such as drugs and alcohol) for non-medical purposes. The term substance misuse often refers to illegal drugs, but, some legal drugs such as caffeine, alcohol and cigarettes can still cause harm. NB Alcohol misuse is dealt with in a separate section of the JSNA. A drug is a chemical substance that acts on the brain and nervous system, changing a person s mood, emotion or state of consciousness. Misusing drugs damages mental and physical health and harms families and communities. It costs the national economy 15.4bn every year. Commonly Misused Illegal Drugs Under the Misuse of Drugs Act 1971, illegal drugs are placed into one of three classes A, B or C. This is broadly based on the harms they cause either to the user or society when they are misused. Class A drugs are considered likely to cause the most serious harm 334
2 Table 13. 1: Commonly misused Illegal drugs 335
3 Prevalence of Substance Misuse The Crime Survey for England and Wales (CSEW) for 2012/13 47 reported that 8.2% or 2.7 million adults had taken an illicit drug (excluding mephedrone) in the last year. If applied to Bromley this would represent approximately 15,000 residents reporting illicit use of drugs over the same time period. The annual Glasgow Prevalence Estimation includes national and regional estimates of the number of opiate, crack and injecting drug users in the UK 48 Table 13.2 shows the rates of illicit drug use in Bromley as compared with London and England. Table Source: Glasgow Prevalence Estimates (2011/12) Bromley has lower rates of drug use in all the key categories than London and England. Numbers of drug users in Bromley have been falling in all the key categories over the last two years, with the exception of opiate and crack users (OCU), where numbers have increased (Figure 13.1). Across England as a whole, numbers have been decreasing in all categories, however, London has seen an increase in OCU and opiate users over the same time period. 47 Home Office.

4 Figure Source: Glasgow Prevalence Estimates The prevalence of opiate & crack use does not vary much with age in Bromley, although in London and nationally, rates are highest in the 25 to 34 year age group (Figure 13.2). Figure Source: Glasgow Prevalence Estimates The picture is similar for opiate only use (Figure 13.3) 337
5 Figure Estimates of Opiate Only Use by Age 16 Estimated Rates of Opiate Only Use per 1000 Population years years years Bromley London England Source: Glasgow Prevalence Estimates National data compiled from a range of surveys 49 describes the characteristics of drug users in England: Since 1996 levels of any illicit drug and any Class A drug use during the last year were higher among men than women. Single adults were more likely to have taken any drugs or any Class A drug in the last year than any other marital status. Adults from a White ethnic group generally had higher levels of any drug use (9.5%) than those from non-white background (5.4%). Adults living in a household in the lowest income group ( 10,000 or less) had the highest levels of drug use in the last year (11.9%) and Class A drug use in the last year (3.6%) compared with all other income groups. For example 6.8% and 2.8% respectively of adults living in a household with an income of 50,000 or more took drugs and Class A drugs in the last year respectively). Since 2001, there has been an overall decline in the prevalence of drug use among pupils. The proportion of pupils who reported ever having taken drugs decreased from 29% in 2001 to 17% in Some young people have shown to be vulnerable to problematic drug use. These include those who truant or have been excluded from school. 49 HSCIC Statistics on Drug Misuse: England
6 Effects of Drug Misuse Health Individuals who take illicit drugs face potential health risks, as the drugs are not controlled or supervised by medical professionals. As well as health risks, drugs can become addictive and lead to long term damage to the body. Illicit drug users are also at risk of being poisoned by drugs and overdosing which can lead to a fatality. In particular, injecting drug users may be exposed to blood borne infections through the sharing of infected needles/syringes, and through the sharing of other injecting paraphernalia. Consequently, those accessing treatment for substance misuse, who meet certain criteria (i.e. previous or current injectors in the case of Hepatitis C) are tested for, and if appropriate, vaccinated against Hepatitis B and C. In 2012/13, 34% of eligible new presenters to drug services in Bromley accepted Hepatitis B vaccinations, compared with the national average of 47%. During the same period, 91% of previously or currently injecting clients in treatment in Bromley received a Hepatitis C test, as compared with the national average of 72.5%. Research shows that substance use, and misuse may lead to or worsen psychiatric or psychological symptoms or syndromes 50. The most common associations for substance misuse are with depression, anxiety and schizophrenia. In , there were 318 NHS hospital admissions where there was a primary or secondary diagnosis of drug related mental health and behavioural disorders. In addition there were 43 NHS hospital admissions where there was a primary diagnosis of poisoning by illicit drugs 51. Mortality rates from substance misuse are fairly low. In 2012, there were just under 1500 deaths related to drug misuse across England and Wales. A detailed analysis of drug and alcohol related deaths in Bromley over a 10 year period ( ) showed that there were fewer drug related than alcohol related deaths, and the rate has fallen over the time period. Of the 447 cases reported, 331 (74%) were directly related to alcohol. One percent were unknown, where no drug or alcoholic substance was implicated in the cause of death record, however there could be a history of drug and/or alcohol abuse. The principal substances implicated in the drug-related only deaths were: opiates (6%) and paracetamol (3%). 50 Crome I. B.

7 Crime There is a strong link between acquisitive crime and addiction to crack cocaine and opiates. The Metropolitan Police Service extended drug testing across all 32 boroughs in London, including Bromley from January 2013 to increase opportunities for diverting drug misusing offenders out of crime and into treatment and reduce associated criminality. A positive drug test on arrest means that a person has to attend a drug assessment, regardless of whether convicted of the offence. Failure to attend is arrestable. These assessments can result in individuals being persuaded into drug treatment. Between January and June 2013 approximately 39% of people who tested positive were referred into treatment. The Police work closely with Arrest Referral workers, who are part of the Bromley drug and alcohol service. Figure 13.4 shows the distribution of positive tests across Bromley in Figure 13. 4: Distribution of Positive Drug Test, 2013/14 Source: Metropolitan Police Drug Intervention Program 340
8 Drug Dependence Drug dependency is defined as a cluster of behavioural, cognitive, and physiological phenomena, such as a sense of need or dependence, impaired capacity to control substance-taking behaviour and persistent use despite evidence of harm. The prevalence of drug dependence is lower than the prevalence of any drug use. The prevalence of drug dependence in 2007 was 3.4% (4.5% of men and 2.3% of women). Most dependence was on cannabis only (2.5%), rather than on other drugs (0.9%). Symptoms of drug dependence were most commonly reported by adults aged between 16 and 24 (13.3% of men and 7.0% of women in this age group). As regards ethnicity; Black men were most likely (12.4%) and South Asian men were least likely (1.5%) to report symptoms of dependence, whilst dependence ranged from 4.8% of Black women to 0.2% of South Asian women. Prevalence of drug dependence tends to increase as equalised household income decreases. Treatment for Substance Misuse Adults who are effectively engaged in treatment for substance misuse, use fewer illegal drugs, commit less crime, improve their health and manage their lives better. In , there were 529 treatment episodes in Bromley. The number of treatment episodes is usually slightly higher than the number of people receiving treatment, as a few people may have a break in treatment, or complete and then relapse, generating a second treatment episode. Substance misuse services treat users from a variety of referral sources, including the criminal justice system, GPs, A&E, schools and self-referrals. Referrals in Bromley from the criminal justice system (police, prison, probation) and self-referrals form a lower proportion of the total referrals than nationally. 341
9 Figure % 40% 35% 30% 25% 20% 15% 10% 5% 0% 20% Criminal Justice Referral Sources For Drug Clients 2012/13 n=529 5% Health Services 39% Inter-service transfer 1% 2% Mental Health Services 33% 1% Other Self Social Services Bromley National Source: National Drug Treatment and Monitoring Service (NDTMS) The majority of people in treatment are in the 35 to 64 year old age group, which is consistent with the prevalence data, as this is the largest age group in terms of size. Males represent 73% of the treatment episodes. Figure Source: National Drug Treatment and Monitoring Service (NDTMS) Bromley has a slightly higher proportion (5%) of people in treatment over the age of 60 years, as compared with the national figure of 3%. 342
10 The ethnicity of those in treatment is predominantly White British (84%), which is consistent with the proportion of White British in the borough as a whole (85%). The wards generating the highest number of treatment episodes are: Plaistow & Sundridge 58 Cray Valley West 50 Crystal Palace 51 The majority of people in treatment (82%) use either opiates, crack or both as the primary drug, with opiates alone (48%) forming the largest subgroup. Figure Source: National Drug Treatment and Monitoring Service (NDTMS) In Bromley there has been a small reduction in the number of people misusing drugs receiving treatment. In 2011/12 there were 555 people in treatment; in 2012/13 there were 520 who were using drugs as a primary substance. This reflects the national downward trend. There has been an overall increase in the number of opiate users successfully completing treatment (the definition of this is free of drug(s) of dependence who do not then re-present to treatment again within 6 months). Between 1st April 2012 and 31st March 2013, 10.3% (38/370) of opiate clients completed treatment successfully in comparison with 6.6% in 2011/
11 However, there has been a slight reduction in the number of non-opiate users successfully completing treatment, 41.3% (62/150) compared to 48.9% (64/131) in 2011/12. Individuals successfully completing treatment demonstrate a significant improvement in health and well-being in terms of increased longevity, reduced blood-borne virus transmission, improved parenting skills and improved physical and psychological health. Evidence suggests that clients who stop using opiates in the first 6 months of treatment are 4.3 times more likely to complete successfully than those that continue to use. Bromley continues to ensure that individuals move through the treatment system in a timely manner and whilst there are 20.6% of opiate users who have been in treatment for over 6 years this figure is below the national average. Of the individuals completing their drug treatment 93% of individuals have no housing issues and 38% are in employment. To continue to improve the number of individuals who complete treatment successfully the services are working to: identify why users are leaving treatment, managing users anxiety about stopping substitute prescribing, further improving the treatment pathway and care coordination, increasing the number of satellite provision sessions, providing opportunities for non-opiate users to receive treatment separately from opiate users increasing the numbers accessing the service by producing information on services targeted to various locations such as A&E and GP surgeries.

12 What does this mean for Bromley residents and for children in Bromley Drug misuse is decreasing in Bromley and nationally. There is a higher proportion of older (60 years+) people being treated for substance misuse in Bromley. This age group often present with more complex problems which will impact on health and social care services. For more information on Substance Misuse please contact Claire.Lynn@Bromley.gov.uk 345
