Approximately 3 years ago the families of deceased (over medicated) veterans were able to instill a change in the delivery of opioid prescribing in the Wisconsin VA system. This began with changes in the way pain was to be managed.
Primary providers who were instructed by the pharmaceutical industry on the importance of using opioids to effectively manage pain have to now change. Large data analysis was tracking the number of patients receiving high doses of opioids ( 400 milligrams per day morphine equivalent) and the number of patients being prescribed lower doses. These calculations were being recorded as numbers to lower over time.
This contributed to a culture change within the VA which now embraces alternative methods for assisting veterans to manage chronic pain. Non- medical forms of support have been included in the veterans regimen as a more holistic means to maintain health and wellness.
The individuals being prescribed the opioids are routinely participating in testing that assures the opioids are being consumed and not diverted on to the street. This is an important part of responding to the opioid epidemic plaguing Wisconsin communities.
Reducing access to illegal street opioids is beneficial to efforts by communities to limit the risk of the opioid epidemic which requires addiction to exist. Addiction drives the mutually beneficial relationship between opioid consumers and opioid sellers.
Chronic users of opioid medication will look for an illegal street source when the prescriber stops giving them a written order that can be filled in a corner pharmacy. Essentially the person is addicted to opioids but may not recognize it as the pills have been always ordered through a medical doctor.
If the prescribing doctors can get the individual to attend a medication reduction program - often called pain management to reduce opioid utilization it is beneficial. But, if the person separates from the medical management and begins seeking alternative ways to obtain larger and larger amounts of opioids the community needs to become involved in the care.
The risk of using street opioids is death - which in an of itself gives families and friends authority to assist. Inpatient drug rehab provides important interventions that lessen the physical bodies symptoms of withdrawl.
Once the opioids have essentially been removed from the physical body as indicated by the inpatient diagnostic testing the individual can be discharged to home. Many communities will host a voluntary drug addiction program of counseling that the individual can go to.
The period in which an individual has just been discharged from an inpatient drug rehab stay is the time identified as the highest risk for an over dose. Home Care Path has created an original program called the Ovilus 5 Experience to support those individuals who have just been discharged and are working through an addiction in the community.
The Ovilus 5 Experience is a form of non-medical support for an individual working through an addiction. This is not covered by insurance and the family is charged 249.00 for the six week - one hour per week home visits. The pre-scheduled sessions take place in the individuals living space. The sessions incorporate ancient rituals as a way to shift the locus of control within -which supports a stronger sense of selfhood.
