Abstract
Sample Characteristics
POATS Study Design
Key eligibility criteria DSM-IV opioid dependence, with physical dependence ≤4 days of heroin use in past 30 days No history of heroin injection
Sociodemographic Female 42% White 91% Education, years (mean, sd) 12.9, 2.2 Employed full time 60%
Clinical Lifetime heroin use 26% Current chronic pain 41% Duration of opioid use (median) 2-4 years
Findings
AIM To examine baseline predictors of outcome for prescription opioid dependent patients treated with buprenorphine/naloxone for 12 weeks (phase 2)METHOD Interviews and self-administered questionnaires were used to collect data on sociodemographic and clinical characteristics in a 2-phase randomized medication+ counseling trial.RESULTS Successful outcomes were more likely among those who had no prior treatment for opioid use disorder (including attending self-help meetings), had never used a route other than that prescribed, did not use primarily sustained-release oxycodone, had lifetime depression, whose first source of opioids was a legitimate medical prescription, who first used to relieve physical pain, and were older.CONCLUSION Among patients with prescription opioid dependence, characteristics traditionally associated with opioid addiction were associated with poorer outcomes.
Successful outcomes associated with
Older age Lifetime history of depression No prior treatment for opioid use disorder Route of use is oral or sublingual only
Conclusions
Successful Outcomes
Definition of Phase 1 success (at week 12) ≤4 days/month of opioid use Absence of 2 consecutive opioid-positive urine tests ≤1 missing urine sample during 12 weeks No other substance use disorder treatment (other than self-help)
Definition of Phase 2 success (at weeks 12 and 24) Abstinent for final week by urine-confirmed self-report Abstinent ≥2 of the 3 previous weeks
Findings for rates of successful outcomes Phase 1, week 12 6.6% Phase 2, week 12, end of treatment 49.2% Phase 2, week 24, end of taper 8.6%
