“…Emotional expression in speech is elicited by asking the quintessential question ''how do you feel?'' It is human nature to colour our response to this question with emotion [27]. Emotional self-assessment is captured by asking the patient to identify their emotional state from the emotion set: (Neutral, Happy, Sad, Angry and Anxious) by selecting the corresponding choice on their DTMF telephone keypad.…”

“…Scott et al [27] concluded that most chemically-dependent individuals have difficulty to identify their feelings and expressing them effectively. However, Scott et al points out that they can change their responses to their emotions as they are better able to understand and tolerate their emotions [27]. Wurmser [28] coined the term ''concretization'' as the inability to identify and express emotions -a condition that often goes hand-in-hand with compulsive drug use.…”

Addictions to illicit drugs are among the nation's most critical public health and societal problems. The current opioid prescription epidemic and the need for buprenorphine/naloxone (SuboxoneH; SUBX) as an opioid maintenance substance, and its growing street diversion provided impetus to determine affective states (''true ground emotionality'') in long-term SUBX patients. Toward the goal of effective monitoring, we utilized emotion-detection in speech as a measure of ''true'' emotionality in 36 SUBX patients compared to 44 individuals from the general population (GP) and 33 members of Alcoholics Anonymous (AA). Other less objective studies have investigated emotional reactivity of heroin, methadone and opioid abstinent patients. These studies indicate that current opioid users have abnormal emotional experience, characterized by heightened response to unpleasant stimuli and blunted response to pleasant stimuli. However, this is the first study to our knowledge to evaluate ''true ground'' emotionality in long-term buprenorphine/naloxone combination (Suboxone TM ). We found in long-term SUBX patients a significantly flat affect (p,0.01), and they had less self-awareness of being happy, sad, and anxious compared to both the GP and AA groups. We caution definitive interpretation of these seemingly important results until we compare the emotional reactivity of an opioid abstinent control using automatic detection in speech. These findings encourage continued research strategies in SUBX patients to target the specific brain regions responsible for relapse prevention of opioid addiction.
