Clinical Opiate Withdrawal Scale (COWS)
For each item, circle the number that best describes the patient’s signs or symptom. Rate on just the apparent relationship to opiate withdrawal. For example, if heart rate is increased because the patient was jogging just prior to assessment, the increase pulse rate would not add to the score.

4 patient so irritable or anxious that participation in the assessment is difficult Bone or Joint aches If patient was having pain previously, only the additional component
attributed to opiates withdrawal is scored 0 not present
1 mild diffuse discomfort
2 patient reports severe diffuse aching of joints/ muscles
4 patient is rubbing joints or muscles and is unable to sit still because of discomfort
Gooseflesh skin 0 skin is smooth
3 piloerrection of skin can be felt or hairs standing up on arms 5 prominent piloerrection
Runny nose or tearing Not accounted for by cold symptoms or allergies 0 not present
1 nasal stuffiness or unusually moist eyes 2 nose running or tearing
4 nose constantly running or tears streaming down cheeks
Total Score ________
The total score is the sum of all 11 items

completing Assessment: _____________
Score: 5-12 = mild; 13-24 = moderate; 25-36 = moderately severe; more than 36 = severe withdrawal Source: Wesson and Ling 2003[326]

This scale is used for the measurement of neonatal abstinence syndrome due to neonatal opioid withdrawal.

Neonatal Abstinence Syndrome Scoring Chart Guidelines for Neonatal Abstinence Syndrome (NAS) Scoring
Score 1 for each of the following (except 1).
High pitched cry:
1. Score 2 if a cry is high-pitched at its peak, score 3 if a cry is high-pitched throughout.
Sleep:
2. Consider total amount of time baby was asleep between feeds.
Tremors:
3. This is a scale of increasing severity, and only one score should be made from the four categories. Undisturbed sleep means when the baby is asleep or at rest in a cot.
Increased muscle tone:
4. Score if the baby has a generalised muscle tone greater than the upper limit of normal.
Excoriation:
5. Score if skin excoriation occurs more than three to four times in 30 minutes.
Nasal flaring:
6. Score if nasal flaring is present without other evidence of airways disease.
Respiratory rate:
7. Score if respiratory rate of greater than 60 per minute is present without other evidence of airways disease.
Excessive sucking:
8. Score if the baby sucks more than average.
Poor feeding:
9. Score if the baby is very slow to feed or takes inadequate amounts.
Regurgitation:
10. Score only if the baby regurgitates more frequently than usual in newborn infants.
Modifications for prematurity are mainly necessary in the sections on sleeping, e.g. a baby who needs three-hourly feeds can only sleep at most 2.5 hours between them. Scoring should be 1 if the baby sleeps less than two, 2 if sleeps less than one hour, and 3 if the baby does not sleep between feeds. Many premature babies require tube feeding. Babies should not be scored for poor feeding if tube feeding is customary for their period of gestation.
If the baby has three consecutive scores averaging more than eight (8), the child should be treated for NAS.

Substance Primary mechanism of action
Behavioural effects Tolerance Withdrawal Effects of prolonged use
ethanol Increases activity of GABA-A receptors Sedation Impaired memory Motor incoordination Anxiolysis
Metabolic tolerance occurs due to enzyme induction Behavioural tolerance develops through learning
Tolerance also develops through changes to GABA-A receptor
Altered brain function and morphology Cognitive impairments Decreased brain volume
Hypnotics and
sedatives Benzodiazepines: facilitate GABA’s opening of GABA-A chloride channel Barbiturates: bind to a specific site on the GABA ionophore and increase chloride conductance
Develops rapidly to most effects (except anticonvulsant) due to changes in GABA-A receptor
Anxiety, arousal, restlessness, insomnia, excitability, seizures
Memory impairment
nicotine nicotinic cholinergic receptor agonist Increases sodium inflow through the channel, causing depolarization
Arousal, increased attention;
concentration and memory; decreased anxiety, decreased appetite, stimulant-like effects
Tolerance develops through metabolic factors, as well as receptor changes
Irritability, hostility, anxiety, dysphoria, depressed mood, decreased heart rate, increased appetite
Health effects due to smoking are well-documented Difficult to dissociate effects of nicotine from other components of tobacco
Opioids Mu and delta opioid receptor agonists euphoria, analgesia, sedation,
respiratory depression Short-term and long-term receptor desensitization
long-term changes in opioid receptors and peptides Adaptations in reward, learning, stress responses
Cannabinoids CB1 receptor agonists Relaxation, increased sensory awareness, decreased short-term memory, motor incoordination, analgesia, antiemetic and antiepileptic effects, increased appetite
Develops rapidly to most
effects Rare, perhaps due to long
half-life of cannabinoids Cognitive impairments, risk of relapse and exacerbation of mental illness
Cocaine Monoamine (dopamine, norepinephrine, serotonin) transporter blocker (increases monoamines in synaptic cleft)
Increased alertness, energy, motor activity, feelings of competence;
euphoria, anxiety, restlessness, paranoia
Perhaps short-term acute
tolerance not much, except
“post-high down” Cognitive deficits, Abnormalities on PeT with orbitofrontal cortex Impaired motor function Decreased reaction times eeG abnormalities
Cerebral ischaemia, infarcts, haemorrhages Amphetamines Increased release of dopamine
from nerve terminals via dopamine transporter
not dependent upon action potentials Inhibits monoamine oxidase (MAO)
Increased alertness, arousal, energy, motor activity, speech, self-confidence, concentration, feelings of well-being;
decreased hunger, increased heart rate, increased respiration, euphoria
Develops rapidly to behavioural
and physiological effects Fatigue, increased appetite, irritability, emotional ecstasy Blocks serotonin reuptake Increased self-confidence, empathy,
understanding, sensations of intimacy, increased communication, euphoria, increased energy
May develop in some
individuals nausea, muscle stiffness, headache, loss of appetite, blurred vision, dry mouth, insomnia, depression, anxiety, fatigue, difficulty concentrating
neurotoxic to brain serotonin systems, leads to behavioural and physiological consequences
Volatile solvents Most likely GABA-A receptor mediated Dizziness, disorientation, euphoria, light-headedness, increased mood, hallucinations, delusions, incoordination, visual disturbances, anxiolysis, sedation
Some tolerance develops
(difficult to estimate) Increased susceptibility to
seizures Changes in dopamine receptor
binding and function PCP: nMDA glutamate receptor antagonist
Atropinics: muscarinic cholingergic receptor antagonists
Increased heart rate, blood pressure, body temperature; decreased appetite, nausea, vomiting, motor incoordination, papillary dilatation, hallucinations
Tolerance develops rapidly to physical and psychological effects
no evidence Acute or chronic psychotic episodes, flashbacks or re-experiencing of drug effects long after drug use
