Mean annual number of buprenorphine and methadone treatments per 10,000 residents (treatment rates), by social area

Social Area # of buprenorphine
prescriptions filled (SE)		 # of persons receiving
methadone (SE)
1 (L,L,L) 5.1 (4.9) 1 20.6 (20.4) 3
2 (M,M,M) 2.9 (2.4) 2 37.1 (34.7) 3
3 (M,H,L) 1.2 (1.4) 2 45.4 (30.2) 4

L, M, and H denote low, medium, and high tertiles of variables within social areas, respectively. SE denotes standard error. See text for definitions of social areas and treatment rates.
