Trends in methadone and buprenorphine dispensed in Medicaid expansion and nonexpansion states per capita. The data presented are from the Drug Enforcement Administration's Automation of Reports and Consolidated Orders System (ARCOS) for 2006‐2017. ARCOS contains data on opioids dispensed from all sources and across payers. We included only methadone dispensed from OTPs in 28 states where Medicaid covered methadone as of 2007. We included buprenorphine dispensed from OTPs and pharmacies in 45 states where Medicaid covered buprenorphine as of 2007
