Only a quarter of Americans with opioid use disorder (OUD) received medication-assisted-treatment (MAT) in 2022. That’s according to new data from the CDC, which found that in 2022, 4% of U.S. adults needed OUD treatment. While more than half of the adults who needed OUD treatment received care, about 30% of those with an OUD were enrolled in a treatment program that did not include MAT. MAT, which can include buprenorphine, methadone, and naltrexone, is typically considered the gold standard for treating OUD.
