Admissions data based on Treatment Episode Dataset-Admissions. Data present number of admissions treated for primary heroin, non-prescribed methadone, or opiate/synthetics use disorder. Total represents all admissions treated in detoxification or outpatient settings. Detoxification represents 24-hr hospital-based, 24-free standing, or ambulatory detoxifications. Outpatient represents ambulatory non-intensive or intensive outpatient treatment. Opioid agonist treatment indicates whether methadone or buprenorphine was planned (TEDS-A) as part of treatment.
