Find Methadone Treatment Near Brownsburg IN
Among the most aggressive states in seeking methadone treatment expansion have been Indiana, Maryland and New York, which have strategically sited dozens of new facilities in rural and suburban communities in the past two years. Ohio and Florida are planning major expansions this year and next.
And opioid treatment companies are responding, with most new clinics offering all three FDA-approved opioid addiction medications. A major driver of the recent expansion is millions in newly available Medicaid reimbursement dollars for methadone treatment in at least 37 states and the District of Columbia.
In an opioid epidemic that is killing more than 130 Americans every day, more states, including some that previously limited expansion of methadone treatment, are calling on the industry to set up new programs in opioid-plagued rural and suburban areas that lack adequate medication-assisted treatment options.
