Introduction
Addiction medicine has advanced over the past few years, with focus on the opioid epidemic.
Empathy can be extended as more people fall to addiction: a mother, friend, brother, cousin, or
nephew. Those with addiction can be difficult to care for as the behaviors, symptoms, and
presentation associated with it force providers to see a person driven by compulsions that can be
difficult to understand. For these reasons, this population is largely on the fringe of healthcare
At this time, there is no Federal Drug Administration (FDA) approved treatment for
methamphetamine addiction and withdrawal. Due to the intensity and enveloping nature of
crucial. Methamphetamine/ amphetamines are highly addictive and patients require support not
only from their personal relationships, but also from the relationship they forge with their
providers. Patient education about their treatment options offers patients empowerment through
involvement in their care plan. Without clear guidelines, it can be difficult for providers to offer
education to their patients. A literature review was conducted to develop a standardized, written
education tool to provide to patients admitted for methamphetamine detox protocol for the

2020). In 2020, 2.5 million Americans reported methamphetamine use, and up to 53% met
criteria for a methamphetamine use disorder as defined by the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual
of Mental Disorders-V (CDC, 2021). For females with methamphetamine dependence, the death
rate is expected to be 26 times greater than the general population and six times greater in males.

suicide attempts are higher with methamphetamine use (Paulus, 2022). Throughout the rest of

Review of Literature
Psychological Association, 2021). Due to the nature of the drug, it is often used in a binging
pattern and users will forgo sleep, food, and physiological necessities while using. Short term
effects include decreased appetite, increased rate of breathing and wakefulness, irregular/rapid
heartbeat and increased blood pressure and body temperature. Long term effects with prolonged
use include weight loss, dental problems, skin sores from itching, anxiety, brain
hallucinations (NIDA, 2019). Despite this evidence that MA use can result in serious health
implications and possible death, without lack of standardized care it could suggest that MA use is
to lack of treatment (Dunn et al., 2022). Studies are limited regarding provider experience with
treating MA. One study by Dunn et al. identified that providers struggle with problem
difficult for primary care providers to properly screen, identify, and diagnose. Even with a
diagnosis, providers have a hard time deciding on treatment plans without an identified protocol
or medication (Dunn et al., 2022). Additionally, with lack of visibility of those who use MA,
stigma can decrease treatment implementation despite availability of care (Ward et al., 2021).
Addiction medicine treatment is most successful when implementation combines not only
pharmacotherapies, but also biopsychosocial aspects of care (NIDA, 2019). When compared to
no interventions at all for most stimulant use disorders, either cognitive behavioral therapy,
treatment dropout rates, increased continuous abstinence after treatment, and increased the
longest period of abstinence (Minozzi et al., 2016). However, it may not significantly increase
continuous abstinence from the longest follow up (Minozzi et al., 2016). According to UptoDate,
mild, moderate, and severe stimulant use disorders first line treatment is intensive outpatient
therapy (IOT). If IOT is not successful, it is then recommended to follow with behavioral therapy
methamphetamine or amphetamine use disorder. A systematic review and meta analysis by Chan
et al. found that there was low strength evidence for methylphenidate reducing MA use, resulting
in approximately 4% reduction of positive urine drug screenings (2019). The meta analysis also
and gabapentin) exhibited no difference in abstinence and retention rates but rates of use were
through the release of dopamine from vesicles and reversal of dopamine transporters (Wise &
8
Robbie, 2020). With long term use, methamphetamine will decrease expression of Dopamine
Receptor D₂, receptor, known as D2R, ultimately leading to reduced sensitivity to non-habitual
rewards (Wise & Robbie, 2020). Endogenous opioid peptides/receptors located within the
mesolimbic system, which regulates dopineragic release, have been associated with the addiction
process (Horner et al., 2017). Naltrexone, an opiate receptor antagonist, has had success in
attenuating cravings through disruption of reward related memory. Primitive studies with mice
locomotor sensitization (Wang et al., 2021). This suggests a decrease in reward learning related
to methamphetamine.
Studies performed with brain imaging have shown changes with Naltrexone
administration for M/A addiction. The striato-limbic system, associated with cravings and drug
system (Kohno et al., 2018). Brain imaging results showed that Naltrexone reduces the
striatolimbic resting state functional connectivity (RSFC), with a significant association between
reduced RSFC and reduced M/A use (Kohno et al., 2018). However, when controlling for
on “desire to access the drug” and “want more of the drug” (Lim et al., 2020). Low executive
functioning with Naltrexone administration was found to have a greater decrease in craving and
desire of the drug as compared to those with higher executive functioning (Lim et al., 2020).
In regards to cravings, Naltrexone for MA use is associated with decreased cravings but
studies vary if this difference is statistically significant or not. One study found that while there
were decreases in mean craving scores, they were not statistically significant. This study
9
attributed lack of significance to the fact that the dopamine changes related to Naltrexone alone
do not reduce cravings unless paired with drug cues which were not exhibited in a laboratory
setting (Kohno et al., 2018). However, cue induced cravings are positively associated with a
larger effect with M/A use. When given Naltrexone vs. placebo, results showed that it attenuated
the relationship between the cue induced cravings and the positive effects (Roche, 2017). This
illustrates that Naltrexone can reduce cue induced cravings through moderation of reinforcement
pathways.
use. For amphetamines alone, the abstinence rate through use of naltrexone was increased
significantly (p < 0.05). Only one study produced significant results for methamphetamines
showing decreases in cravings and subjective effects (p < 0.05). Both studies illustrated that
naltrexone was well tolerated with few adverse effects (Lam et al., 2019). While these results are
mixed, it does show that naltrexone produced better results than placebo although they may not
be statistically significant.
Overall, studies have shown that Naltrexone has reduced days of MA use. One meta
analysis reported that in a study of 52 randomized participants, 37 self reported reduction in use
of MA. In Sweden, when given Naltrexone MA positive urine drug screenings were reduced as
compared with placebo. In regards to the Naltrexone injectable, Vivitrol, it was found that those
that received treatment vs placebo also had reduced positive urine drug screenings (Siefried,
Acheson, Lintzeris & Ezard, 2020).With use of Extended Release Naltrexone (Vivitrol), self-
reported days of M/A use decreased from 5.06 to 1.56 (Kohno et al., 2018). Over 12 weeks for
those who received extended release naltrexone and oral extended release bupropion, participants
had a lower rate of methamphetamine positive urine drug screenings (although not statistically
10
significant) than those that received placebo (Trivedi et al., 2020). Additionally, a 2 stage open
label pilot study confirmed that Vivitrol, in combination with extended release bupropion yielded
significant results with 6 out of 8 urine drug screenings resulting negative (Mooney et al., 2016).
Shared decision making is defined as when both the patient and provider have active
roles while deciding a treatment plan. The provider reports all available information and
treatment recommendations to the patient so that the patient can use their judgment to decide
their preference based on their needs, concerns and circumstance. (Driever, Stigglebout, &
Brand, 2020). Shared decision making involves a dialogue between the patient and provider
about the patient’s presenting problem, explanation of available options, discussion of the
associated risks and benefits, and discussing the patient’s preferences and motivations (Hughes
et al., 2018). Through shared decision making, a patient is able to make an informed decision
regarding their care creating a patient centered care plan (Driever, Stigglebout, & Brand, 2020).
The benefits of shared decision making such as patient centered care, increased patient
and provider attention to concerns and goals, and strengthened therapeutic alliance is seen across
different study designs, patient populations, treatment settings, and outcome measures (Fisher et
al., 2021). The importance of shared decision making, especially in chronic conditions such as
mental health diagnoses and substance use disorders can be attributed to the fact that chronic
conditions require ongoing decisions in which factors such as the therapeutic alliance and patient
centeredness “might be more important than in the context of more acute conditions involving a
Decision aids, tools to present patients different treatment options make informed
decisions, have been studied in regards to behavior change and substance use. Decision aids
11
focus on shared decision making by discussing unbiased information and encouraging informed
decisions with increased reasoning (Gültzow et al., 2021). With the use of decision aids through
shared decision making, providers felt they gained more insight and knowledge about the patient,
expanded treatment options, and reported greater satisfaction with face to face time with the
patient (Friedrichs, Spies, Haerter, & Buchholz, 2016). Results suggest that decision aids had a
positive effect for smoking cessation, smoking aid cessation uptake, and alcohol consumption
but ultimately did not effectively test the decision effect outcomes (Gültzow et al., 2022).
Most commonly reported as an outcome of shared decision making was the formation of
a therapeutic alliance between the patient and provider. Additionally, the therapeutic alliance was
associated as a predictor of substance use treatment engagement (Marchand et al., 2019). When
shared decision making is not utilized, it is associated with poor patient reported outcomes,
quality of care, and increased utilization of healthcare such as ER visits (Hughes et al., 2018). In
regards to substance use, it has been shown that the practice of shared decision making increased
the patient’s sense of trust and they felt respected by the physician (Marchand et al., 2019). This
is important as stigma and shame are cited as barriers to treatment for those with substance use
disorders (Friedrichs, Spies, Haerter, & Buchholz, 2016). When patients were treated with their
preferred/ chosen treatment, those using illicit drugs showed better outcomes through decreased
Theoretical Framework
The Social Learning Theory, developed by Albert Bandura, was used as a framework for
this project. The goal of this project is to create a tool used by providers that can be used to
increase informed decision making for those who use methamphetamines/amphetamines. The
Social Learning Theory proposes that behavior is influenced by relationships created through
12
observational learning of the external environment, including other people. This model helps to
identify how the social environment can influence behavior through observation and that
reproduction, or motivation. Attention is defined as how much the behavior engages someone
while retention is how well the behavior is remembered. Reproduction is the ability to produce
the behavior and motivation is the will to enact the behavior and is often influenced by
consequences perceived by the learner. Additionally, positive and negative reinforcement are
important in determining behavior, as the learner must decide if the reward is greater than the
cost.
As someone with a methamphetamine use disorder starts to use more, it affects their
relationships with family, friends, and the community as a whole. Their social and physical
environments include less people without use disorders. The observational learning models poor
coping skills and continued use as the person's social circle is focused on the drug. As proposed
by the Social Learning Theory, it is important for those with methamphetamine use disorder to
have access to healthy environments and people. To engage in a new behavior, they must be
attentive and motivated. Through informed decisions, a person is more likely to be intrinsically
motivated to engage.
Methodology/Implementation
Participants
Participants were those admitted to the Allumbaugh House for voluntary detox from
House, were 18 years or older, had no insurance or Medicaid only, and required medically
13
assisted detox. All participants had a documented diagnosis of methamphetamine use disorder
which may or may not have been in conjunction with another substance use disorder
Setting
This was conducted at the Allumbaugh House, a non-profit 16 bed hospital that accepts patients
for voluntary, acute detox for various drugs and alcohol. Allumbaugh House is located in Boise,
Idaho. It was selected due to being the only facility in Boise that offers inpatient detox for
methamphetamines.
Intervention
After at least 48 hours from admission, patients that are admitted to Allumbaugh House for
a one on one assessment by the same provider using the decision aid created about treatment
options available to them. Participants could choose no treatment options or multiple options.
The decision aid was reviewed by several staff of the Allumbaugh House including social
workers, nursing staff, and the program director to offer comprehensive treatment options.
Residential, counseling services, pharmacological options, and community supports such as AA,
NA, Dharma Recovery, Peer Wellness Center, SMART Recovery, and Phoenix Gym.
Data Collection
This project obtained IRB approval as exempt from Idaho State University. Data collection
began November 1st, 2022 and was completed January 6th, 2023 resulting in 42 participants.
Data points included which treatment option(s) the patient chose after the one on one assessment
Data Analysis
Descriptive analysis was performed to determine the nominal points of data collected.
Percentages, averages, and totals were analyzed as a complete data set, methamphetamines only,
methamphetamines and opiates, methamphetamines and bath salts, and methamphetamines and
kratom.

Participant Characteristics
There were a total of 42 participants. As seen in Table 1, more than half of the sample was
admitted for a polysubstance detox. Half admitted for meth and opiate detox while
approximately 40% admitted for meth detox only. There was a small amount for meth and
kratom and meth and bath salts. Less than twenty percent of admissions were on probation or
parole. Nine admissions had never had inpatient or formal treatment previously besides AA or
NA while eleven had been admitted previously at Allumbaugh House. Approximately 20% had

Discussion
As data was collected regarding which treatment options were chosen, several themes appeared
regarding why patients choose certain treatments over others. The most prominent and regarded
reason was time commitments. As previously mentioned, there were patients currently on parole
or probation with legal obligations to their parole officer (PO) and/ or the court. Options such as
PHP or residential were not feasible, as many were required to hold a job, mandated an amount
of AA or NA meetings, and/or curfews that limited their schedules. Some patients felt that it was
overwhelming to try to fit in another treatment. The relationship between a patient and their
parole officer differed from person to person and this affected continuity of care. Some patients
did not want their PO to know they had relapsed/ admitted and as a result they felt weary about
introducing new therapies and signing releases of information. Those in parole or probation most
often cited time/ prior commitments as their top factor in decision making.
Discussions with patients about time availability for treatments allowed for deeper
holistic assessments: do they have kids, do they have a job, what kind of social support do they
have, do they have transportation, etc. This aspect of the shared decision was important, as
counterproductive. For example, one patient had been in PHP before but stated “it set me up to
fail” because he couldn’t manage the time commitment. He did choose IOP after discussing his
options with the eventual plan to graduate to AA since he had done NA previously. Another
20
patient had court ordered NA and IOP and didn’t want to add anything because he also was
Secondly, religion was another factor in treatment decision making. Religiously based
treatment programs, like AA and certain IOPs, were either deterrents or the reason why a patient
specifically chose that treatment. It is important to discuss this with the patient in order to
accurately ascertain their preferences in treatment and help make the appropriate treatment
decision. This also meant that the provider had to be educated about different program’s core
values. Some patients had discontinued treatment as they didn’t resonate with the message or
core values of that treatment program. Setting clear expectations about treatments and what was
important to each program was appreciated by patients as they could make an informed decision.
While NA and AA are similar, it is important to note that patients experience these
programs differently and this is mostly due to the fact that AA stresses religion through a higher
power more than NA does. Additionally, some patients that didn’t use alcohol preferred AA over
NA because they felt that they were less likely to run into people they knew from using, that NA
was “too triggering”, and that they were more likely to meet someone that was going to sell
Patients that had been previously admitted at Allumbaugh House or in another treatment
program were more likely to choose at least two treatment options. These patients cited their
discharge plan, and acknowledged the importance of a multimodal approach for their recovery.
“I keep telling myself that I've got this and I'm smarter than the system but I just end up doing
the same thing which is abusing drugs. I know how to do it right.” Many of those with prior
admissions also chose pharmacological treatments. “The zoloft helped with the anxiety and I
21
need to get back with someone to restart it. That's usually my triggers because I haven't taken
care of my problems.” Another patient stated, “My anxiety is why I use.” Substance use
disorders and major depressive disorder are highly comorbid and patients choosing anti-
depressants and anti- anxiety medications suggests that recognition of their mood/ initial triggers
From the provider’s point of view, there was as much education from provider to patient
as there was patient to provider. Listening to patient experiences with each treatment allowed for
the provider to make better suggestions for other patients. As mentioned previously, the
therapeutic alliance was strengthened through shared decision making, and the patient was
empowered to make their own treatment plan. Ultimately, this allowed the provider to make
better treatment suggestions throughout their visit as they were individualized. Normalization of
patient experiences also became easier and as a result, the provider felt it came naturally to
relate/ extend empathy to the patients. The provider also had to check their own assumptions
about patients because even though a patient may have been previously admitted, it did not mean
that they were aware of all treatments available to them/ what each meant. Most surprising to this
provider was how few patients had previously been offered Naltrexone. If they had, it was also
shocking that within Region IV Idaho, many patients had difficulty getting a prescription for
Naltrexone due to a provider’s lack of education. More than one patient had stated that they
weren’t able to get Naltrexone from their primary care provider because they had believed it was
a controlled substance. For methamphetamine admits, Naltrexone is not FDA approved for
methamphetamine detox and therefore was not covered by insurance. Despite this, patients felt it
was needed for their recovery. “What is twelve dollars if I can help my cravings?” As predicted,
22
Naltrexone was chosen more often when patients were educated about it and offered as a
treatment option as it was the third most chosen treatment across the sample.
people who use MA have difficulty receiving proper treatment recommendations. As a result,
these patients are often left without informed/ shared consent and may become stuck in the cycle
of addiction. While healthcare providers may be uncomfortable or unsure about what is available
to these patients, it is clear that this relationship between provider and patient can make a
profound difference in their recovery. Shared decision making not only increases the patient's
knowledge, but also allows the provider to know their patient better through increased treatment
needs assessments. Anecdotally, this writer also felt that because they were more involved in the
patient care, they were better able/ more comfortable in using motivational interviewing to
prevent precipitous discharges. It felt as though patients were more likely to take into
consideration this provider’s suggestions, as the suggestions were personalized and made more
relevant to the patient situation based on the prior one on one assessments.
It was also important to note that because not all treatment recommendations were
provider was better able to discuss treatment options with the social work team and other staff
Since medications are limited for methamphetamine recovery/ detox, the advanced practice RN
must be educated about all options available for their patients. The use of shared decision making
within substance use disorders allows for the provider to establish a therapeutic alliance with
their patients which can make a difference in how much information a patient shares with their
23
provider which ultimately can change treatment decisions and or outcomes. The decision aid
reviewed through shared decision making also allows for preliminary conversations about
treatment without employing a paternalistic approach, increasing a patient’s trust in the provider.
Wrap around services are important for recovery and this often begins with establishment of
providers. When a patient feels that only is their provider is not only educated about treatment
options available for them but can offer those options through a patient centered approach,
patients can feel more confident in their plan. The APRN is poised for holistic care and with the
use of shared decision making with substance use disorders, they can ensure that patients receive
individualized, comprehensive information which can increase the patient’s likelihood to return
and follow up. This provider felt that patients were more likely to voluntarily offer updates about
them and their discharge plan during their admission which could translate to better follow up
In summary, this project’s implications for practice can help providers feel more
respectful and meaningful way through patient involvement in their own healthcare. This, in
turn, has the potential to mean increased abstinence and better patient outcomes.
Limitations
This project has potential limitations. The small sample size makes the results of this study less
generalizable. Further, data collection was limited by the disease process of methamphetamine
while the provider was present. As a result, some patients were unable to participate during their
admission. Studying a larger sample size and with more providers could offer more generalizable
data and potentiate more themes outside the inpatient setting. There is lack of prior data and
24
research available regarding substance abuse and decision aids specifically, therefore there was
Conclusion
There is no FDA approved medication for MA recovery or withdrawal symptoms. For this
reason, providers must familiarize themselves with other treatment options outside of
pharmacology. While medications can be helpful as part of their recovery process, the complete
wrap around care service can help a patient maintain sobriety. Patients need strong provider
support in conjunction with their therapies as this increases their access to care. The purpose of
this project was to create a standardized decision aid to help providers provide patients with their
treatment options to allow for patient centered care through shared decision making. When a
patient is empowered in their decision regarding their care, not only does it improve patient
outcomes but also increases the therapeutic relationship between patient and provider. This
therapeutic relationship is crucial and begins with providing patients with all options in an
unbiased, non-judgmental manner so they feel supported and heard. With the associated risk of
methamphetamine use, the healthcare community cannot afford to not explore all treatment
modalities.
