Facilities Providing Methadone/LAAM Treatment to Clients with Opiate Addiction

摘要

Of 13,428 facilities surveyed in 2000, 1,215 (9 percent) reported that they dispensed methadone or LAAM. Methadone facilities offered HIV testing, hepatitis testing, and testing for sexually transmitted diseases more than twice as frequently as non-methadone facilities. The highest median number of clients was in methadone-only facilities owned by private nonprofit organizations (252).
