Abstract:
Objective: Adolescent methamphetamine use has become a key issue for Canadian media and governments. Empirical studies, however, have not yet established the national scope of adolescent methamphetamine use or its impact on treatment services in Canada. The objective of the current study was to provide results from a national survey of primary methamphetamine-related admissions to Canadian residential substance abuse treatment facilities for youth. Method: We developed a comprehensive list of all Canadian residential substance abuse treatment facilities for youth, and then, we asked the executive director (or equivalent) of each facility about the site's annual caseload and the proportion of primary methamphetamine-related admissions during the previous 12 months. Results: Responses were received from 46 of the 50 centres on our final master list. About 20% (1109/5169) of all national admissions to youth residential substance abuse treatment facilities were reported to be primarily due to methamphetamine use. A large majority of primary methamphetamine-related admissions occurred in British Columbia and Alberta. Conclusions: Adolescent methamphetamine use has had a major impact on entries into residential substance abuse treatment facilities in British Columbia and Alberta, while only a few centres outside these 2 western provinces have experienced elevated rates of primary methamphetamine-related admissions. Given the paucity of studies on adolescent methamphetamine treatment, future research needs to focus on developing effective clinical strategies in this area.

Abstract:
Objective: During the last decade, methamphetamine use and issues surrounding its toxicity have triggered major concern in the Canadian government, leading to significant changes in drug policy and funding strategies to limit the societal impact of methamphetamine-related harms. This concern appears justified by research which found in 2005–2006 that 21 % of all youth admissions to inpatient substance abuse treatment centres in Canada were due primarily to methamphetamine abuse. Given these patterns of treatment use and targeted governmental initiatives, an open question is whether the demand for methamphetamine treatment found in 2005–2006 has decreased. Our study aims to provide follow-up estimates of admissions for 2009–2010, as well as important trend information for these periods. Method: We developed a comprehensive list of all Canadian residential youth substance abuse treatment facilities. The executive director of each facility was asked about the site's annual caseload, and the proportion of cases primarily due to methamphetamine abuse within the past 12 months. Results: Our survey data for the periods of 2005–2006 and 2009–2010 show marked reductions in admissions. In 2009–2010, we found that about 6% of all admissions were due primarily to methamphetamine abuse, a substantial drop from the 21% reported in our 2005–2006 study. Conclusions: Our data show a significant national reduction in methamphetamine-related admissions. Other reports show that methamphetamine-related treatment admissions in the United States and Mexico declined sharply during 2005–2008, reportedly in association with Mexico's methamphetamine precursor chemical controls, raising the possibility that the controls may also be associated with the declines reported here.

Abstract:
Community Mobilization Prince Albert’s (CMPA) Hub and Centre of Responsibility (COR) had been dealing with high rates of youth arrest and referrals to treatment facilities stemming from youth substance abuse. To better help the CMPA craft policies to counter the high rates of youth alcohol and drug use, a study was conducted in June of 2012 that utilized a school survey of PA youth. Data were collected from four local Prince Albert high schools and compared with Saskatchewan and Canadian youth. Analyses of the data were conducted using logistic regression and bivariate correlation. The following paper will provide an overview of the study and explain why youth substance abuse was chosen for this study. Later sections will examine how the Prince Albert school survey was formulated for comparison purposes with Saskatchewan and Canadian youth data obtained from the 2010-11 Youth Smoking Survey (YSS). This will be followed by an overview of the study’s key findings, along with results of logistic regression and bivariate correlation analysis and the study’s limitations. A final section will examine the implications of this study’s findings on youth substance abuse policy and programs for the CMPA Hub and COR, along with the city of PA.

Abstract:
Background: Circumpolar nations are experiencing unprecedented environmental and public health policy challenges due to global climate change, exploitation of nonrenewable natural resources, the endangerment of myriad wildlife species, and growing sovereignty disputes. In a call to action, the Arctic states’ health ministers recently signed a declaration identifying shared priorities for mutual international cooperation. Among agreed-upon collaborations, an enhancement of intercultural understanding and promotion of culturally appropriate healthcare delivery systems is to be of high priority going forward. Purpose and Aim: In far north Canada, health policies perpetuated for generations upon indigenous communities have, traditionally, often had adverse consequences for the medically underserved inhabitants of these communities. This discussion addresses the cultural disconnect between the colonial era and current indigenous, decolonialist health and healing design strategies. Method and Result: In response, two architectural design case studies are presented that synthesize ecological site planning precepts with salutogenic architectural design attributes—a behavioral health and substance abuse residential treatment center and three elderhousing prototypes for construction in Canada’s Northwest Territories. Conclusion: This conceptual synthesis is practicable, transferable, and adaptable to varied, extreme climatic conditions, as reflective of best practices in the delivery of healthcare facilities that express a synthesis of ecohumanist and salutogenic values and methodologies. The discussion concludes with a call for empathic, evidence-based collaboration and research that further examines the blending together of prefabricated off-site construction with on-site construction approaches.

Abstract:
Includes bibliographical references (leaves 61-65).
This study examined the attitudes and perceptions of directors and treatment staff towards organizational functioning within substance abuse treatment facilities across South Africa. In South Africa a history of socio-political factors have hindered substance abuse treatment. Large disparities existed between racially defined population groups and the quality and allocation of resources to substance abuse treatment services across South Africa have not been equitable. Understanding organizational functioning within substance abuse treatment facilities is essential to identifying and prioritizing treatment facility issues that both directors and staff believe need attention. The identification and examination of these issues facilitate the development of appropriate strategies to promote treatment facility improvements and the adoption of evidence-based treatment practices. Cross-sectional surveys of substance abuse treatment facilities were conducted in the Western Cape (2005) and in the Eastern Cape, Gauteng, and Kwa-Zulu Natal (2006). Forty-four treatment facilities participated in this study from a population of 89 facilities. The Texas Christian University survey of Organizational Functioning (TCU ORC) was used to assess directors' and staff's attitudes and perceptions towards organizational functioning within their treatment facilities. One-way analysis of variance tests were used to examine whether certain contextual and demographic variables influenced directors' and staff's attitudes and perceptions. Results indicated that directors and staff displayed favorable attitudes and perceptions towards the TCU ORC domains organizational climate and staff attributes, and indecisive attitudes and perceptions towards the motivation for change domain. Demographic variables including: ethnicity, levels of education, amount of work experience, and provincial location were found to influence directors' and staff's attitudes and perceptions towards organizational functioning.

Abstract:
Using the 2009 National Survey of Substance Abuse Treatment Services (N-SSATS), this paper uses logistic regressions to explore the effect of facility ownership on a facility’s show of altruism. Facility’s show of altruism is operationalized as a facility offering free treatment to all its clients, free treatment to some of its clients, or a facility offering a sliding fee scale to its client base in order to absorb some of the cost of treatment based on a potential client's income. Region, receipt of public funds, and religious affiliation are added as covariates in order to gauge whether the potential relationship between facility ownership and a facility’s show of altruism is genuine. Results indicate that private, for-profit ownership status of a facility is associated with a lower likelihood that a substance-abuse treatment facility would engage in altruistic behavior. However, receipt of public funds acts as a mediating variable, in that, its inclusion raises the likelihood that a private, for-profit facility would engage in shows of altruism. Furthermore, it appears that religious-affiliation increases the likelihood that a facility would display altruism by providing free treatment, to some of its clients, or to all, but less likely to display altruism by employing a sliding fee scale. Overall, inclusion of region, receipt of public funds, and religious affiliation all produce statistically significant results, along with facility ownership. This suggests that there are a variety of variables, apart from facility ownership alone, that might be influential over a facility's show of altruism.

Abstract:
Magister Artium (Psychology) - MA(Psych)
Substance use is a worldwide health concern that has received significant attention as it is often related to deleterious outcomes. Various treatment programmes have been made available to assist people and their families who misuse substances, to aid rehabilitation and equip people with the necessary tools with the aim of preventing possible relapse. The Western Cape Province has been identified as experiencing the highest increase of substance use, with Cape Town being disproportionately affected. Substance use treatment and prevention programmes are therefore an increasingly important means of addressing substance use and related harms. This study aimed to explore the lived experiences of individuals in relation to the treatment they received at a treatment facility in the Cape Town area. As such, the researcher made use of the phenomenological approach as a theoretical framework as it aims to describe the lived experiences of individuals in relation to a particular phenomenon. Furthermore, a qualitative methodological framework was utilised to explore the experiences of individuals who received substance use treatment. Ten participants were purposively selected from an outpatient substance use treatment facility in Cape Town. Focus group discussions were used to collect data and the data were analysed using Interpretive Phenomenological Analysis (IPA). Findings suggest that there were various reasons participants sought treatment. This includes the challenges they experienced in both their personal and occupational lives as well as the realization of the negative effects substance use had on them physiologically. Findings also revealed that the environmental setting individuals were in fostered their treatment; the various aspects of the programme provided by the treatment facility had a significant contribution to their recovery and improved relationships with others; receiving support from family and friends were important in service providers treatment retention as well as individuals ability to identify the changes within themselves since receiving treatment. Overall, results indicate that the treatment programme helped participants in their recovery and enhanced personal relationships, self-perception as well as personal and occupational growth. Findings suggest that there are various reasons as to why people seek treatment and although this may differ, the treatment modality they were provided with contributed substantially to their recovery. Furthermore, this study will contribute to the literature and understanding the ways in which treatment fosters recovery, personal growth and relationships.

Abstract:
Introduction: Community pharmacists in the United States routinely serve as intermediaries in the process of providing (i.e., dispensing) prescription opioids (POs) to patients for whom they are prescribed. Similar to most states, Tennessee (TN) has experienced exponential increases in PO dispensing, abuse and overdose deaths over the past decade. A multifaceted approach has been put forth by the United States National Drug Control Strategy to combat PO abuse, one aspect of which is expanding the extent to which health care professionals detect and address substance use disorders. Despite little exploration of pharmacist provided PO abuse/misuse interventions, our previous research reveals that 26% of TN community pharmacists have provided addiction treatment facility information to one or more patients in the past, and 13% of pharmacists have addiction treatment facility information in their pharmacies. The objective of this study is to investigate the associations between community pharmacist and community pharmacy characteristics and the provision of addiction treatment facility information to pharmacy patients. Methods: A survey was administered to a stratified random sample of licensed TN pharmacists in 2012 using Dillman’s Tailored Design Method. The survey instrument assessed community pharmacists’ attitudes, beliefs and behaviors specific to prescription drug abuse communication. Logistic regression techniques were used to identify correlates of provision of addiction facility information by pharmacists. Results: A response rate of 40% was obtained. Univariate logistic regression analysis indicated the provision of addiction treatment information was associated with being male, increased average number of hours worked per week, having addiction treatment information readily available in the pharmacy, higher self-efficacy beliefs regarding ability to discuss addiction treatment facility options, discuss perceived PO abuse, and discuss perceived PO addiction with patients, participation in PO abuse specific continuing education (CE), and employment in an independent pharmacy setting. Multiple logistic regression analysis indicated that being male (OR = 2.2; 95% CI = 1.4-3.6), having high task-specific self-efficacy beliefs (OR = 4.2; 95% CI = 2.7-6.5), working more hours (OR = 1.00; 95% CI = 1.02-1.05), participating in prescription drug abuse-related CE (OR = 2.9; 95% CI = 1.7-5.0), and having treatment facility information in the practice setting (OR = 8.2; 95% CI = 4.4-15.4) were statistically significant predictors of information provision. Implications: As interventions and models are developed that expand prevention and treatment efforts, factors should be considered that influence health care providers’ prescription drug abuse/misusedeterrent behaviors. Our research has the potential to inform these interventions and thereby expand the extent to which community pharmacists engage in the detection and care of patients with substance use disorders.

Abstract:
Sammanfattning Syfte och frågeställningar Syftet med studien är att undersöka den fysiska aktivitetens betydelse för den psykiska och fysiska hälsan i samband med behandling hos personer i tidigare narkotikamissbruk kombinerat med samsjuklighet. - Hur påverkar fysisk aktivitet den upplevda fysiska och psykiska hälsan hos män i åldern 23-29 i tidigare narkotikamissbruk kombinerat med samsjuklighet(1)? - Hur upplever vårdarna att fysisk aktivitet påverkar klienternas generella mående efter utförd fysisk aktivitet? - Hur ser vårdarna på fysisk aktivitet som en del av behandling för tidigare narkotikamissbruk kombinerat med samsjuklighet? Metod I denna studie ingick 8 personer, fyra män i åldern 23-29 år som befann sig i behandling, och fyra anställda, varav två män och två kvinnor i åldern 27-76 år. Behandlingshemmet som studien genomfördes på erbjuder behandling för personer med olika former av missbruk och psykiska diagnoser. Den fysiska aktivitet som utförs på behandlingshemmet är gymträning och promenader. Semistrukturerade intervjuer genomfördes med både klienter och anställda om deras uppfattning kring fysisk och psykisk hälsa i samband med fysisk aktivitet i behandlingsprogrammet. Resultat Fysisk aktivitet kan positivt påverka främst den fysiska men också den psykiska hälsan hos män i åldern 23-29 år med tidigare narkotikamissbruk kombinerat med samsjuklighet. Enligt vårdarna påverkar den fysiska aktiviteten klienterna positivt till bland annat ett lugn och dämpad rastlöshet. Den fysiska aktiviteten ses även som en positiv faktor inom behandling då vårdarna anser att den kan tänkas hjälpa mot avhållsamhet, struktur i vardagen och mer samarbetsvilja. Slutsats Människor som tidigare haft narkotikamissbruk i kombination med samsjuklighet har uttryckligen beskrivit välmående, lugn och ett lättat sinne i samband med fysisk aktivitet. Dock kan studiens resultat inte alls appliceras på hela populationen i denna kategori. (1) Samsjuklighet saknar en tydlig definition, men kan innebära att klienten har komplexa vårdbehov och kan även innebära en funktionsnedsättning i kombination med missbruk, om somatiska sjukdomar finns hos klienten (Aleris 2017-05-07)

Abstract:
Text in English
Against the background of high prevalence of substance abuse in the globe generally and South Africa in particular, research has shown an association between substance abuse and other mental disorders or vice-versa. With most rehabilitation centres offering separate diagnosis and treatment for the two disorders, the problem of relapse has been significant. The purpose of this study is to explore the perceived effectiveness of CBT as a treatment model for substance use disorders with co-occurring disorders. Subsequently, the research will add to the already existing research evidence. The study was conducted in five rehabilitation centres in Gauteng Province. The qualitative descriptive research approach was used to conduct the study. Both purposive and snowball sampling were used to recruit participants in this study. The sample consisted of CBT specialist participants from diverse race, gender, ethnicity, and age ranging from 30 to 65 years, with at least a minimum of five years’ experience. A pilot study with two specialist participants was conducted, and this enhanced trustworthiness and authenticity of the study. The primary method of qualitative data collection employed in this study was semi-structured individual interviews for specialist participants. Grounded theory analysis was employed to analyse data. The findings of the study emphasised a need to not separate treatment of substance use disorders and psychiatric pathologies. More importantly, the effectiveness of CBT in treating both disorders was established by the study. The study further encourages more time in therapy as the way to increase effective results accompanied by less relapse rate. Accordingly, the findings of this study encourage more research and use of CBT treatment for substance use disorders with co-occurring disorders in South Africa. This study found that the most used substances are both legal and illegal, and they are further classified as depressants, stimulants, opioids, and new psychoactive substances. A vulnerable population to abuse substances includes adolescent and young adults, individuals with co-occurring disorders, and low socio-economic status. The disorders that normally co-exist with substance use disorder ranges from depression, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, sleeping disorder, impulsivity, antisocial behaviour, borderline disorder, paranoia, panic disorder, and suicide behaviour. The study found that genetic predisposition, depression, parental neglect and financial problems, experimentation with substances for relaxation, peer group pressure, and co-occurring disorders are high risk causes for substance abuse. The experience of participants in treating substance use disorder with co-occurring disorders involves which disorders get treated first, and the mental state of patients for effective treatment. The various substance abuse treatment models includes person centred approach, bio-psychosocial approach, holistic approach, eclectic therapy, integrated approach, resilient approach, rational emotive behavioural therapy, family therapy, motivational interviewing, 12-step programme, and cognitive behavioural therapy. The participants’ experience with CBT entails its usability in both individual and group therapy, the use of CBT skills after therapy, and CBT effectiveness in relapse prevention. Accessibility and affordability of CBT treatment is influenced by access to rehabilitation centres and cost of rehabilitation centres. Lastly, individual factors, family factors, and environmental factors are part of the contributing factors towards high relapse rates.

Full text
Abstract:
This dissertation examines Puerto Rican therapeutic communities – resource-poor mutual-aid collectives that have flourished over the past five decades, despite being heavily criticized by human rights groups for using unwaged labor as a method to treat addiction. The persistence of these communities, which are spreading rapidly across Latin America, is widely ascribed in international media to state neglect. I conducted a year of ethnographic research in Puerto Rico to understand why labor therapies thrive, and what these approaches are intended to achieve among those who practice them. Challenging the argument that labor therapies are the simple result of the state failing to provide alternatives, my research shows that during the last half century therapeutic communities have been successively recruited to serve a variety of distinct and sometimes competing interests. My examination of the multiple, contested, and sometimes-converging projects that inhere within this therapeutic regime shows that these organizations have variously served as entrepreneurial projects of informal enterprise, existential projects of redemption, state projects of containment, and shunt-valves for relieving burdens of dependency from straining kinship systems. Their endurance, therefore, not only reflects their capacity to patch the cracks of multiple faltering systems (including employment, corrections, family), but it also reflects their protean vulnerability to appropriation: that is, the ease with which they are co-opted by other actors for alternative utilities. Based on eight months of intensive participant observation in one therapeutic community, La Casita, where I explored the cultural logics and meanings of labor therapies, I argue that “drug treatment” here is not centrally geared towards “treating addiction.” Instead, La Casita’s therapeutic practices of labor therapy, time-discipline, prayer, and internal work are more instructively read as social technologies through which men who are excluded from the labor market and estranged from kinship ties seek to cultivate an alternative masculinity that restores their sense of worth. The “socially useful” masculinity under construction here, based on a performance of work, responsibility, and duty, offers unemployed men an alternative way to claim the dignity and social membership of work.

Abstract:
This chapter will provide recent data on the state of incarceration within the United States of America and will demonstrate the need for a change in care to reduce recidivism and increase the overall mental health of those who are currently in prison. Included will be an overview of the relevance of drug and drug-related crimes within the American prison system, factors that influence the use and abuse of drugs, and how these crimes are treated within state and federal facilities. Alternative approaches and treatment options will be identified and discussed in relation to implementation and success rates within the prison system.

Abstract:
Substance abuse complicates pain management. The comorbidity of substance abuse and pain is particularly problematic in the United States and Canada, substantially more than in most countries with advanced health care systems. Treatment of pain with long-term opioids, particularly in high doses, is known to be associated with substantial medical comorbidity, unintentional overdoses, and death. Treatment of opioid dependence in the chronic pain patient is necessary for effective pain management, whether or not the patient uses drugs illicitly. Opioids, particularly in high doses, produce central nervous system neuroadaptations that reduce or eliminate analgesic effectiveness and enhance sensitivity to pain in general. The neuroadaptations often result in opioid dependency and, in the long-term, craving. Weaning patients from chronic opioids can be exquisitely difficult if simple dose reduction is attempted. The process can be quite successful and gratifying, however, if certain principles are followed. These include education, comfortable detoxification using long-acting opioids, usually methadone or buprenorphine, nonopioid pain management, psychological support, and coordinated care.

Abstract:
Bipolar disorder often has long delays to first diagnosis and treatment. Both early onset and treatment delay are risk factors for a poor outcome in adulthood. Poor recognition and treatment of the illness can lead to an accumulation of episodes with their attendant risks for cycle acceleration, neurobiological abnormalities, treatment resistance, cognitive dysfunction, and premature loss of many years of life expectancy. Complicating the appropriate diagnosis is the highly variable presentation of the illness and its multiple imitators and comorbidities, including anxiety disorders, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, oppositional defiant disorder, depression, and substance abuse. One of the most critical keys to correct diagnosis is the longitudinal perspective, both retrospectively assessed in detail and systematically continued prospectively. Awareness of the high incidence of childhood-onset bipolar disorder in the United States compared with Canada and most European countries will hopefully lead to correction of one of the remedial risk factors for a poor outcome—the duration of delay to first treatment. With early and sustained treatment of a first episode of mania, episode recurrence and its attendant cognitive dysfunction may be prevented. Episodes, stressors, and bouts of substance abuse can accumulate and sensitize to further and more severe occurrences, likely on an epigenetic basis. Early diagnosis and treatment are imperative to stopping these mechanisms of illness progression in bipolar disorder.

Abstract:
The world is facing a new public health crisis due to the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. It is being described as a ‘public health emergency of international concern’ by the World Health Organization and one of the most contagious large-scale outbreaks that the modern world has ever seen. During any such infectious outbreak, certain populations are much more vulnerable due to their unique physical health and psychosocial challenges. One such group are the homeless, for whom the impact of the infection can long outlast the pandemic itself. The ‘social evil’ of homelessness is thus an ever-evolving pandemic in itself. Even though their global numbers are increasing every day, administrative unaccountability, lack of policy inclusion, and societal apathy further make them marginalized. Their numbers are rarely known among the millions that have been affected by COVID-19 so far. Besides their usual challenges of overcrowding, poor sanitary measures, lack of permanent shelter, poor healthcare access, associated mental illness, and substance abuse, pandemics can further corner them with increased infection and fatality rates, inadequate food, and lack of treatment. Inappropriate quarantine facilities and inadequate testing add to the risk. Past outbreaks have led to the formulation of certain pandemic preparedness measures in various countries, but they are far from implementation. As the construct of homelessness developed beyond just ‘lack of shelter’ to ‘lack of self-dignity and identity’, this chapter looks at the global problem statements of COVID-19 and homelessness, the unmet needs of this population during such outbreaks, and highlights the ways to fight this ‘dual pandemic’.

Abstract:
Introduction: Domestic violence against women is recognized as a global public health problem, requiring strategic direction. The WHO in its global plan to address interpersonal violence stated that there are four strategic directions: strengthening health system governance, strengthening health service delivery and professional response capacity, strengthening program prevention, and improving information and evidence. The most mental health sequelae for female victims are depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder, and substance use. The role of primary care varies, starting with preventing, identifying and evaluating women, being a longitudinal care, as it is common for aggression to be repeated. The aim of this study is to assess how different countries deal with violence against women, and thus, indicate effective forms of intervention. Methodology: This is a literature review study, with a qualitative approach. A search was carried out in the PubMed database with the descriptors “Domestic and Sexual Violence against Women” and “primary care” between the years 2003 to 2020. After eligibility criteria, eleven articles were selected, all in English. Results: Studies from different countries were found. Each country with a cut of the theme related to cultural disparities. So in India it was discussed how loveless marriages arranged by families can be related to domestic violence. In Canada, there is a study of ways to approach women victims of intimate partner violence. Some people argued that health professionals should ask women about domestic violence. They argue that ‘screening’ can encourage revealing abuse or acknowledging their own experience as violence. Others argue that such screening should be targeted at high-risk groups. Studies have suggested that women have a preference for screening methods that do not involve health professionals, given the sensitive nature of domestic violence. Personalized online interactions are currently being studied to help women in situations of violence. These can improve access to information and support for safety and well-being planning, particularly for women who are reluctant. Conclusion: It is necessary to train professionals to identify and approach violence against women, in addition, it is necessary to formulate well-defined public policies that guarantee comprehensive care. Increasing screening sensitivity, appropriate treatment for physical and psychological sequelae.

Abstract:
Cannabis use in Israel has escalated exponentially leading to paralleled increases in psychiatric disorders and admissions to residential drug treatment facilities. Our data from the Israeli Ministry of Health Department for the Treatment of Substance Abuse shows that mental and behavioral disorders due to cannabis use have gone up 825% between 2010 and 2019. Also in 2019, amongst drug and alcohol residential treatment centers, where polysubstance use has become the norm, cannabis was reported as the primary substance leading to treatment admission. 52% of those admitted to treatment listed cannabis as their drug of choice, with a huge gap between cannabis and alcohol in second place at 21%. These statistics are particularly concerning since cannabis is currently available not only in the black market and online in Israel, but also as "medical cannabis." The most alarming issue is that Israel will most likely become the 3rd nation in the world to officially legalize cannabis within the next year.

Abstract:
The objective of this study was to track trends in the signs of higher-quality addiction treatment as defined by the National Institute on Drug Abuse, the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Addiction, and the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration. We analyzed the National Survey of Substance Abuse Treatment Services from 2007 through 2017 to determine the percent of facilities having the characteristics of higher quality. We analyzed the percent by state and over time. • We found improvements between 2007 and 2017 on most measures, but performance on several measures remained low. • Most programs reported providing evidence-based behavioral therapies. • Half or fewer facilities offered medications for opioid use disorder; mental health assessments; testing for hepatitis C, HIV, and sexually transmitted diseases; self-help groups; employment assistance; and transportation assistance. • There was significant state-level variation across the measures.
