  • Among the Opioid Treatment Program (OTP) clients in methadone treatment on March 31, 2005, 47% were in OTPs operated by private for-profit organizations, 40% in OTPs operated by private non-profit organizations, and 13% in government operated OTPs.
  • Opioid Treatment Programs operated by private non-profit organizations were more likely to accept Medicate payments (88%) than facilities operated by governmental organizations (64%) oar private for-profit organizations (43%).
